I was part of a Joe McNally photo workshop that allowed us to photograph the abandoned Ellis Island Hospital. Known as the "Hard Hat Tour," it takes people to the areas most don't get to see when going to Ellis Island. We were very lucky that morning to get beautiful light coming into the rooms. To think of all the millions of immigrants being brought into that room, for them to see the Statue of Liberty outside this window must have made their trip to America worth all the hardships.
