I’ve mentioned a few times the web site Prison Photography<\/a><\/em> written by Peter Brook<\/em> who also is the lead blogger for Wired.com’s Raw File<\/a><\/em> photography blog.<\/p>\n

Another blog I read regularly is the New York Time’s Lens<\/em>, and a couple of days ago they ran a piece ‘Focusing on Prison Photography<\/a><\/em>‘ in which James Estrin<\/em> interviews Brook about his work and interest in prison photography, with examples and links to the work of a number of photographers. It’s an article that touches on important issues and links to some interesting photography, mainly by photographers whose work I didn’t previously know.<\/p>\n

One UK photographer who has taken an interest in prisons is Ed Clark, and some time ago I reviewed his book Still Life: Killing Time<\/a> on this site. I’ve also written about his more recent work Guantanamo: If the Light Goes Out<\/a> <\/em>on the camp and those who were locked up there, although I don’t think the longer piece I wrote about this ever got published. And I never got around to putting it on this site as I was waiting for a promised review copy of the book that never arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
