My friend Paul and I decided to spend our Saturday having a look at the excellent exhibition at the Side Gallery of ‘Women In Prison’ with photographs of incarcerated women taken in prisons throughout the world, spanning a decade worth of work for photographer Jane Evelyn Atwood. It really is an excellent exhibition with some seriously powerful and thought provoking images, and best of all it’s free so you really have no excuse not to go see it!

After the exhibition we thought we would wander about the town doing some street photography, and here are some of the images from the day. Click images to enlarge.
