Cazadoresville, Texas, 29 de diciembre de 2011. Este álbum de fotos capta la atmósfera melancólica y siniestra de dos cementerios en Cazadoresville, Texas, en un día neblinoso de diciembre de 2011. La mayoría de las imágenes son del TDCJ Captain Joe Byrd (Peckerwood Hill) Cemetery, que es el lugar de descanso final de muchos presos que murieron encarcelados, incluidos algunos que fueron ejecutados. Las fotografías representan filas de cruces y lápidas simples, cubiertas por una densa niebla, creando un ambiente aterrador y contemplativo. Algunas imágenes también muestran la prisión Walls Unit, donde muchos de estos presos fueron retenidos, así como el cementerio Oakwood, que incluye una sección dedicada a los entierros de esclavos. En general, el álbum presenta un retrato conmovedor y provocador de la mortalidad, la justicia y la experiencia humana, invitando a los espectadores a reflexionar sobre las complejidades del pasado y el presente – Spanish translation

Хантсвилль, Техас, 29 декабря 2011 г. Этот фотоальбом запечатлел мрачную и жуткую атмосферу двух кладбищ в Хантсвилле, штат Техас, в туманный день в декабре 2011 года. Большинство фотографий сделано на ТDCJ Captain Joe Byrd (Peckerwood Hill) Cemetery, местом покоя для многих заключенных, умерших в тюрьме, включая некоторых из казненных. На снимках запечатлены ряды простых крестов и надгробий, окутанные плотным туманом, создающие мрачный и задумчивый настрой. Несколько фотографий также показывают тюрьму Walls Unit, где содержались многие из этих заключенных, а также кладбище Оуквуда, которое включает в себя участок для захоронения рабов. В целом, альбом представляет собой душераздирающее и заставляющее задуматься изображение смертности, правосудия и человеческого опыта, побуждая зрителей размышлять о сложностях прошлого и настоящего – Russian translation
