This is the room where new prisoners to Alcatraz were processed and given their clothing and bedding. Directly behind me was the shower, in the middle of a very large room. There was NO privacy if you were sent to this prison.

I can only imagine what happened in this place. I like the props that were placed, although they do seemed to be spaced almost perfectly.

Neat how they've apparently left "props" in place to really give a feel to the place. The grain works well here and your framing and lighting really gives it a sense of despondency.

Might have been a rough place, but look at that lighting! Love it.

This has a haunting feel to it, very creepy and cool.

Makes me glad I have been well-behaved (or at least well-enough behaved)! Nice.

shooting into the sunlight that is coming through the windows really gives it a sense of the harshness.

I like this very much. The uniformity of the folded clothes depicts the loss of individuality and the glowing light coming in through the barred windows illustrates for me the gloriousness of freedom they no longer have.
