some shots from my recent trip to philly
part 1

Designed by British architect John Haviland, Eastern State Penitentiary was opened in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia in 1829.   Eastern State was an early model of the Pennsylvania prison system which focused on solitary confinement and penance.   At the time the favored prison method was the Auburn or New York system which employed labor and punishment. The prison's layout is in a hub and spoke style with a watchtower in the center and the different cell blocks radiating out. Eastern State operated until 1971 and now acts as a museum.

Special thanks to Lauren for the awesome behind the scenes tour.

upcoming events

Just a few events I wanted to post that are happening this weekend at the Ryan James Gallery.   On Friday the 29th there will be a conversation night featuring the topic What to do with a million dollars in a day? Then on Saturday the 30th Speed N Beats a mash up show featuring fine art, design, and music.   Both events run from 6:00 to 8:00.  Hope you can take some time out of you day to support this great local gallery.
