Also my smarty pants way of saying the book will be out in what, october? And if you want to make sure you get a copy, you gotta tell your retailer to order it in for you. Give them the order code AUG08 4155 and pretty much they can't refuse you. Well they can, but they wouldn't be treating their customers very well.
Huzzah huzzah.
I've recently discovered a podcast called Ear Hustle Podcast. It's about life on "the inside" hosted by a volunteer at the prison and one of the incarcerated prisoners. As I edit and review my prison images I can't help but wonder about that life, and this podcast is amazing at providing a view between the bars. Check it out, I know you'll enjoy it.
This is a view down one of the cell blocks at Eastern State penitentiary in Philadelphia. The current emptiness and silence is surely in stark contrast to what the space was like while occupied. Also, the top of the cell doors is no more than 5 feet or so. I had to duck just to get inside the doorway.
If you're interested in the Ear Hustle podcast, here is a link to their Facebook Page.
I held my 35mm camera high above my head for this shot. You’d never know that there was a sea of tourist below!

In 1973, I worked for a newspaper near the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (as it was called then). The prison was closed for several years during this time, so I was granted free run of the grounds. I took this series of 5 photos on this occasion.
It was a very lonely place, except for a pet the inmates had kept inside the grounds. The deer was called Geronimo and was very friendly to humans. Geronimo almost scared me out of my wits on the pitcher's mound of the ball field when he poked my arm from behind! His photo is here: fineartamerica.com/featured/brushy-mountain-3-paul-mashbu...
I have retouched these photos in an attempt to make them presentable. I took the original shots with a 35mm film camera and developed them myself. The years have not been kind to the originals, but I scanned them and worked some Photoshop magic on them.
I think they may mean something to someone, and wanted to post them here for posterity. Hope you enjoy them.
