Rising Sun

I totally had a dream last night about an old jail... Oddly enough, I was accompanying Motts on a photo shoot (I wish) and former prisoners started to burn the place down while we were still inside it... strange days indeed

Relax

Reminds me of the Chair that Pink sits in in the Wall, where he watches TV. I wonder if Syd Barrett ever stayed here...

Green Hall

Alex

it's the light at the end of the tunnel. I love Mott's hallway shots, he definitely has his own way of presenting them. There is another one like this on this site, and I just love how optimistic they look. Like everything that once happened in there is being slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Occupational Therapy

I spent some time as a patient in a Psychiatric ward, and understandably, saw many things that really rocked my world. It was one of those cases where I was in crisis, and everything seemed evil and cold... In retrospect, the people in my particular ward acted pretty neutral to our situation, that is, they seldom talked or anything. Yeah, there was one really bad councilor, but he was really the only one I would lable as truly dispicable. I met a few very caring individulas that I will never forget. One of which was a nurse who totally changed my life when she was talking to me about Brian Wilson and how he came out of his mental problems. Just a few examples that psychiatric wards are just like school. You'll have a bad teacher every so often, but you'll also get very good ones who care.

Seriously, every pic I see on this site has such great composition. It definitely shows that Motts put a lot of thought into the design aspect of them. Awesome.

Vines

I dunno, I kind of like it the way it is. Yeah, it probably would be cool if it was fall, but the green definitely gives it a calming effect, and I like that.

Secure Ward

This photo really stands out for me. It must be the symbolism. How everything is temporary, and at sometime, all things must pass (to quote George).
