Powder Magazine, Fort Moultrie, Charleston, South Carolina, 2013

The bunkers used to store gunpowder at Fort Moultrie can still be seen. The fort was in commission for more than 170 years. Some of its gun emplacements date back to before the Civil War. Others show the fort as it looked from the late 19th century through World War II. This powder magazine is lined with replica gunpowder barrels. My 24mm wideangle lens embraces most of them as they carry the eye to the barred window at the back of the enclosure. The flow of barrels echoes both the flow of the boards on the floor as well as the boards that cover the curved ceiling overhead.
