12 1/2
Took a jaunt to Asheville, North Carolina over the weekend. Found a funny little place wedged in the middle of the street. Perhaps they didn’t notice it when they were handing out building numbers?
Very Pedestrian
I have been in North Carolina for the past four or five months, but sadly have felt little inspiration from my surroundings in terms of photography.
I suppose being trapped in suburbia can have that effect.
Here was a shot from earlier in the fall of 2011 that I have been meaning to post.
I am ready!

… oh and I brought some clothes and stuff too… I think.

Bastille Day – 2011
I’m not sure how I forgot to post this one, since It’s one of my favorite shots as of late.
I took this during the Bastille day celebrations in July. My favorite detail of this picture is all the softly glowing LCD screens of various electronic gadgets in the foreground, all pointed up at the tower to capture the moment.

Eastern State Penitentiary
While headed home to Paris after a business trip I was caught up in a big storm while trying to transfer in Philadelphia. While it looked uncertain we’d even be able to land, and the pilot told us things like “we may not be able to stay in this holding pastern much longer because we will be getting low on fuel” (which is FAR more information that any of us really needed at the time), we finally sneaked in.
However with the delays and continued bad weather I was hit with a 24 hour layover. This left me with a little bit of time on my hands to go exploring before I needed to be back at the airport, so I settled on spending that time touring Eastern State Penitentiary. Until I came across it in a list of landmarks, I was unaware of it’s history or really even it’s existence. As I learned while wandering the site of the now ruined penitentiary, it was the first like it ever to be built in the world and was founded on the principle of true penitence. Prisoners housed in this facilty were expected to experience deep and unquestionable regret and sorrow for their actions.
These days the facility is empty and all that is left is crumbling stone work, as row by row and block by block nature slowly seeks to reclaim these once fearsome grounds.
