For Valentine’s Day we took a tour of the Theater - Colleen won it in a social media contest ($20 dollar value!).
The tour is worth the money! The attention to detail in this art deco masterpiece can reignite a passion for handcrafted work. Some fun facts:
There is no wallpaper in the Paramount. Everything is sculpted, veneer or paint
The men’s room lounge (not pictured) is lined with an ash from Japan (it’s amazing)
Only one piece of original art remains in the theater.
Learned so much other cool stuff and didn’t even photograph some of the more interesting room. You gotta go see for yourself I guess.

In 2013, tens of thousands of California prisoners made history when they refused to eat. The state-wide hunger strike protested policies that kept people locked in solitary confinement indefinitely. ⁠

Most were sent to solitary in California for being labeled gang members. But that designation could be based on evidence as thin as reading a certain book, knowing someone in a gang, or sketching an Aztec warrior, incarcerated people and attorneys reported.⁠

The hunger strikers, along with a lawsuit, ultimately won major policy changes.⁠

Today, those who have come home are working to rebuild their lives and help others inside.⁠

Justice-impacted photojournalist has been capturing this journey through portraits primarily at Alcatraz, a site whose history echoes the experience of those in Pelican Bay. Frank had originally photographed men inside Pelican Bay’s solitary unit in 2014, on assignment for The Atlantic. “It was a traumatizing and defining experience,” he said.⁠
