Louisville, Kentucky USA 21 April 2008 10:06 PM EST This shot was NOT easy due to another photographer trying to take this same night shot using a flash. From this vantage point, the city is one mile away. He ruined 5 of my long exposures with his flash. Finally, I politely ask him to please let me get one good shot. / MCN: C30-NP3U-4430

When I saw this trailer home in southern Indiana, I immediately thought of John Mellencamp’s song, Pink Houses. He is also from Indiana, USA and I believe this image is what he had in mind when he wrote the song. This image is part of the Americana Series. Click here to view the entire series. Pink Houses There’s a black man with a black cat livin’ in a black neighborhood / He’s got an interstate runnin’ through his front yard / You know he thinks that he’s got it so good / And there’s a woman in the kitchen cleanin’ up the evenin’ slop / And he looks at her and says, / “Hey darlin’, I can remember when you could stop a clock.” CHORUS: / Oh but ain’t that America for you and me / Ain’t that America somethin’ to see baby / Ain’t that America home of the free / Little pink houses for you and me There’s a young man in a T-shirt / Listenin’ to a rock-and-roll station / He’s got greasy hair, greasy smile / He says, “Lord this must be my destination.” / ‘Cause they told me when I was younger / “Boy you’re gonna be president.” / But just like everything else those old crazy dreams / Just kinda came and went CHORUS Well there’s people and more people / What do they know know know / Go to work in some high rise / And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico / Ooh yeah / And there’s winners and there’s losers / But they ain’t no big deal / ‘Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills, / the pills that kill CHORUS / / © 1983 John Mellencamp WATCH THE VIDEO PINK HOUSES HERE

Port Arthur was named after Van Diemen’s Land lieutenant governor George Arthur. The settlement started as a timber station in 1830, but it is best known for being a penal colony. From 1833, until the 1850s, it was the destination for the hardest of convicted British and Irish criminals, those who were secondary offenders having re-offended after their arrival in Australia. Rebellious personalities from other convict stations were also sent here, a quite undesirable punishment. In addition Port Arthur had some of the strictest security measures of the British penal system. One example is the “Separate Prison” system based on Pentonville prison in London. The Separate Prison (sometimes known as The Model Prison) was completed in 1853 and extended in 1855. The 80 cell prison was built in the shape of a cross with radial exercise yards around a central hall and chapel.[3] It signalled a shift from physical punishment to psychological punishment. It was thought that the hard corporal punishment, such as whippings, used in other penal stations only served to harden criminals, and did nothing to turn them from their immoral ways. Under this system of punishment the “Silent System” was implemented in the building. Here prisoners were hooded and made to stay silent, this was supposed to allow time for the prisoner to reflect upon the actions which had brought him there. In many ways Port Arthur was the pin-up for many of the penal reform movement, despite shipping, housing and slave-labour use of convicts being as harsh, or worse, than others stations around the nation. / (Wikipedia) I took this image using my Canon Powershot A550

Cell 10 – Old Adelaide Gaol, South Australia. Shot handheld in difficult lighting conditions and without flash…....in spite of the digital noise inherent, I considered it was worth recording and thought that the poor quality image was somehow in keeping with the standard of accommodation. I want you to know that I was not an inmate when I took this and that is not really my hat. The whole place has a grim atmosphere, especially the hanging room, but fortunately it is not used now and has become a musuem of incarceration. That cell was similar to many others and is barely 1.5 metres wide, so one can imagine how uncomfortable it must have been for a tall person trying to sleep in the hammock. Apart from the hammock, the contents consist of a wooden stool, a bucket with a lid, two pairs of shoes, a hat, two blankets, a pair of white canvas pants, a tin water pitcher, an enamel wash bowl and an oval shaped tin plate. The gaol was opened in 1841 and closed in 1988.

A dangerous season. A time to forgive and forget.

did I really live there in such quiet grace / in that cold and lonely place / with my art gifts and youthful beauty / like some mystery fairytale snow queen / hair fanned out in voluptuous tendrils / beneath your unsympathetic gaze / longing for your love, begging for your care / with only my burning soul to give / counting the beats of my ignorance / in a broken and misgiving heart / you were so half with me / and so half with her in that lilac mind, in that purple heart / in that dangerous time of crimson desire © Jane Solomon 2009 / Copyright / oneperfectkiss The full poem can be read in my writing section. Photo: The brown brick building on the right was my house / In Burnham Market, Norfolk, England.
