Description A trip to the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia has produced some photos of a very old and depending on the light, kind of a scary place.
ESP was built in 1829 and continued as a prison until 1971 when it closed. Over the years it fell into ruin.
In 1994 ESP opened for historic tours.

raiawoman did a series on this place.
Definitly check it out.

I love this image. It's hauntingly beautiful.

Would you mind if I printed it out and used it in a collage piece I'm working on?

the wild angle hearkens me back to an old photographic habit of mine. makes the corridor look more trippy and thrilling than hopeless and lonely.

Thanks I wanted a different look to something that has been shot before.
Photography students are there all the time.
Iv'e seen some shots of this place here on DA.
So I needed something more trippy.
I like that word.

fotocraft [2007-09-23 17:53:25 +0000 UTC]

The skewed framing works amazingly well with the effect you're going for, giving the image a very creepy, nightmarish quality. Fantastic work!

RAlexanderTrejo In reply to fotocraft [2007-09-23 23:54:31 +0000 UTC]

I could have just deviated this shot straight and it still would look creepy.
It really is creepy in there.
