I got a call for a great assignment this morning that involves going back to San Quentin prison and photographing the inmates performing the play “Much Ado About Nothing” by Shakespeare. It reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of This American Life radio program titled ACT V. You should set the time aside and listen to it- it’s amazing; especially their insight on Hamlet’s dilemma of vengeance. The last time I was in San Quentin was when I shot the story on the Insight Prison Garden program, which focused not only on gardening but also on meditation and on our relationship with our bodies and the earth. It’s interesting how these relatively mundane activities, such as gardening and theater, take on such a different meaning when placed within the culture and setting of prison.
