20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Broken Illusions

This is from an inmate processing area in an administrative building on an abandoned prison complex. The window is broken and looks into another window in the background. I thought this image was like an allegory for someone that embarked on a dangerous life path with consequences that led to incarceration with an unbroken life beyond the horizon.
