Description
This Black and White image was captured looking out from the maximum security cell block of the now closed Lorton Prison and into the light of the central courtyard. A lone figure stood at the open door creating a surreal, fleeting feeling of someone moving from the darkness of physical imprisonment into the light of freedom.

cool atmosphere - reminds of the ending of 'midnight express' (1978) - this was my 1st impression, even before reading the description!... :-o

Thanks Drasko. I appreciate your observations and comments! This is a favorite image of mine that I have hanging in my home. The scene was not staged but rather just happened during a tour of the closed prison. It is an older image and it earned an equal merit award in a Lorton Arts Foundation Fine Art exhibit called " A New Palette For The Workhouse" in 2006.
