Convict cell, #2 & #3

jasonmac · Mar 22, 2005

I posted my photo of a convict cell last week to the critique forum here.
Here are photos 2 & 3 from this series.
Film was Kodak T-Max 100 and I made these prints on Ilford Multigrade paper and sepia toned them. Cell #1 I posted last week was not sepia toned, but I can post the sepia version for comparision if anyone wishes.
The prints were scanned by a lab.
Any comments appreciated.

Cell #2

Cell #3

I love the one with the bed. Great composition, and really gives you a strong feeling of lonliness.

That was the feeling I was trying to capture. Places like this and Port Arthur have a very sad, lonely feel.

dude, those rock. i must say the second is better in my opinion. the hint of a flash on the first one takes away from the image if you know what i mean (dont get me wrong its still good). the second one though, with the chain on the side.......man. that is really awesome.

The second was my favourite as well. Thanks for the feedback.
