Eastern State Penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary (Wikipedia) is considered one of America's most historic former prisons. It was the world's first true penitentiary, a prison designed to inspire penitence - or true regret - in the hearts of criminals. the original seven cellblocks spread like the spokes of a wheel, and had running water and central heat before the White House.


Its vaulted, sky-lit cells held many of America's most notorious criminals, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and "Scarface" Al Capone. The prison stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and a surprising, eerie beauty.


I had a chance to visit the place thanks because Novaid Kahn (Flickr:numbphoto / SML Flickr) offered to drive me there. The day before the trip, I met up with Aaron Johnson (Flickr:Erotocrat / SML Flickr) for the first time, and I asked him to come along.


Check out the full set on Flickr. Detailed description of the photos are included on the Flickr photo page. Here are some highlights.

HDR


The extreme lighting condition at the Eastern State Penitentiary (Flickr set) makes a fine candidate of creating some HDR photos. I'm glad that I brought my tripod!

Bright Hub's own Cherise - MK touched on the role of the claims adjuster in her article entitled 'Do You Have Home Business Driving Insurance.

They are extremely risky to the business and
also increase costs of the consumer's own insurance policy. In instances such as these, often the only choice the employer has is to contact the state insurance board to inquire about state pool coverage which can be very costly'but as having workman's compensation is a law to protect your employees, if this happens to you, you may have no other option.
