Majesty and Confinement
Manzanar National Monument, California February 2007


The building in the foreground is one of the housing buildings from during the camp. It is going to be restored. But for now, it just sits creating a sense of the camp against the mountains.

This image truly inspires awe, Tim. The barracks are so small, and there is only one set of them left at Manzanar. They are dwarfed by the size and scale of the Sierras, cold, bleak, and forbidding. There are no leaves this time to warm the scene. Those people who were taken from their homes and forced to live here for several years must have suffered mightily in winter, and probably in the summer heat, too. It is well that you remind of this fact here.
