Alcatraz Island Postcards

Of the ever-growing collection of postcards that I've collected over the years, some of my favorites include these vintage reprints that I picked up while visiting Alcatraz.  I find the location inspiring, both because of the films that have been shot there, and because of how the prison has evolved from a working jail into a modern ruin.  See more of what I mean by checking out my post on the experience we had on Alcatraz Island.

Before Demolition

As a follow up to the downtown rooftop that I recently discovered had been demolished, I wanted to share some of the images from when I shot the original photo in downtown Medicine Hat in 2006.  Things to note include the first use of my old TV as a logo, my old '89 Buick from the Buick to the Future shorts, the marquee for the Towne Theatre lit up (since it closed shortly after), and a few more vantage points of the infamous rooftops that I've used as a backdrop for fandrix.
