Eric Kunsman brings us an exquisite series of images documenting the Eastern State Penitentiary (PA) where traditional black and white photography is brought to new levels of refinement in the "digital darkroom." The penitentiary was "unbelievably harsh during its ‘solitary confinement era’ in the 1800s," says Kunsman. He found himself intrigued by the complex relationship between punishment and altruism that had inspired the creation and management of the Penitentiary. The radiant but somber light, the feeling of abandonment and the textured detail of the aging architecture of the facility give us an eerie sense of the presence of its former inhabitants.
