I know what you mean. As a young boy, my dad took me there to visit a family friend. I always thought about him and those I didn't know. It is sad. I worked for the Roane County NEWS...did you husband ever bring the paper to Kingston? We may have seen each other on one of those trips.

We were living in Lake City, TN at that time. My husband worked for the Town Crier. I remember driving down a steep winding road and seeing this sight. It was a depressing sight to see comeing down the Mt. I always felt bad for the people who had to work there. Good work, that was part of our US history for sure.

Artist's Description

In 1973, I worked for a newspaper near the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (as it was called then). The prison was closed for several years during this time, so I was granted free run of the grounds. I took this series of 5 photos on this occasion.

It was a very lonely place, except for a pet the inmates had kept inside the grounds. The deer was called Geronimo and was very friendly to humans. Geronimo almost scared me out of my wits on the pitcher's mound of the ball field when he poked my arm from behind!

I have retouched these photos in an attempt to make them presentable. I took the original shots with a 35mm film camera and developed them myself. The years have not been kind to the originals, but I scanned them and worked some Photoshop magic on them.

I think they may mean something to someone, and wanted to post them here for posterity. Hope you enjoy them.

About Paul Mashburn

Paul Mashburn

I have always been intrigued with photography. I did sports, fashion, news, and wedding photography for a time, but even after I started a career where photography was no longer a part of the work, I kept firing away for personal reasons and to document my life. The photos came in handy for my personal blog http://mushysmoochings.blogspot.com. I still write there quite a bit, but documenting the theater restoration project keeps me pretty busy. I hope you enjoy my photos, because the process gives me great personal pleasure. Even if you don't buy, please leave a comment to keep driving me on!
