I would love to have a poster of that. Very interesting.

Motts, a whole back of human skin? Ahhh! I'd cry if I found that.

I think that German and English do sound quite similar...maybe that's just because I'm bilingual in German and English . >.< But yes the spellings are usually identical in some words.

Damn! I spoke too quick with the previous photo. Wow. I'm at a loss right now.

Grandiose

By far the best photo I've seen yet, personally, I find this completely beautiful.

Omniscience

A-Rod

Ehhh. Wouldn't that be a bad idea for the patient? I mean, if they're paraoid or not coping well, to just see two eyes looking in. Very strange.

The little caption about puppies and Nazis living together made me laugh. Very interesting shot though.

You have no idea how much this photo terrifies me. Ehhhh...

Crossover

Damn! If this was black and white and someone was standing with the stripes casting shadows over them I'd say it would be 100% beautiful film noir.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but, Mr. Motts, are you standing on one of those beds? Haha.

Disemboweled

A-Rod

Wow. This is absolutely amazing. I can picture a psychotic old man living there in similar tattered clothes, sitting in that chair, holding a book with blank pages and wearing cracked glasses.

Morgue

A-Rod

I completely agree Katy.

And I also wonder if the trays have any value and if they were sold as scraps by former employees when the place shut down. I find it interesting that a lot of these places have so much stuff left over that could be salvaged and sold. I'm glad that they're all still there though, it makes for fantastic photos and evokes emotion.

@Canada You have no idea how hard I laughed at your comment.

...Anyway!

I would totally keep those chairs. They're in great condition!

It's creepy how clean and unmoved it is though.
