2013-05-10 UPC - Be Good or Else......



Hi All,

Last Friday was a very special photo occasion. Together with the Urban Photo Collective I had the opportunity to visit an old jailhouse. The building, just recently abandoned, situated in Rotterdam opened its gates and we were free to go in and make our pictures. All the rooms in the building that were not locked were free to be entered and make our pictures. Only a few doors kept locked mainly because of security or safety reasons. However I had the time of my life, as how often do you get the chance to walk free throughout a jailhouse.
I stayed in for a few hours to make my pictures and honoustly I must admit I really was glad I could get out again. Walking through the building and watching all those doors, locks, long corridors and smelling the dank air I found it a very depressive environment and I do not envy those who are kept there for sometimes many years.

Anyway the serie of pictures I present at my site should give you an impression of what to see and to undergo when you have to go in……


Usually I end my story by saying Enjoy or Have Fun, but I am not sure if that is the right expression in this case.
This time you have to find out all by yourself,

Arjan
