Here is a series of rather haunting photos taken at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Some say this former prison is haunted with the ghosts of the tortured souls who were held captive within its walls.

I enjoy taking photographs, usually in Black and White. Most of my photos were taken with my 35mm Pentax M SLR camera and one of several Nikkor lenses. I recently purchased a Nikon D40 DSLR camera – I haven’t taken it shooting yet but hope to very soon.

My favorite subjects are cemeteries and architecture.
