EricaM Ugh. This reminds me of my first night on suicide watch in a psych hospital...

	Ericam I really really love this shot so much, I can feel the dark and cold and huge-ness and emptiness standing in those spots makes ya feel. And really really silent.

	EricaM If that's a smokestack, then... insane.

	EricaM Good place to stash a body I suppose..

	EricaM I'm surprised they took time to board the windows but not cover this pit.

	EricaM Man, those are some insanely shaped light bulbs, neat.

	EricaM How did you get this lighting? Or was it easy just because the room was so huge an empty?

	Ericam This place looks almost identical to a place I used to photograph back in NY where I grew up called Beaunit Fibers. For real, it looks exactly the same exteriorly.

	EricaM If this is two photos you merged or layered.. you did a phenom. job. Damn.

	EricaM THAT is old school, neat!

	EricaM Did you shut that door all the way behind you? I'd never be able to.

	EricaM This is fantastic!

	EricaM Oh man. I got naked once behind this building because it was pouring rain and I wanted roof shots, and I had to change. So many memories..

	EricaM METAL? They couldn't even get fucking stainless steel? I say that assuming those marks are marks from being weathered. Whats the point of using metal grave markers if they just weather like stone does?

	EricaM Funny its a psychiatric hospital, to deal with mental problems, yet so many people lost their lives.. wasn't like their mental health impedes their physical health. Unless the description was off and their is also something medical/surgical. Really intense photo either way.

	EricaM That's pretty old school, nice shot.

	EricaM Some jerkoff past visitors probably left this. Maybe.

	EricaM Hey why are the doors in places like these either always removed or open? Do they automatically lock upon closure? Better yet: Have you ever gone in and closed the door completely? I'm just curious, I'd always decline to try that..

	EricaM No doubt the sandbag toss game. Freakin' creepy.

	Ericam This place looks phenomenal.. or amazing. Jeez.

	Ericam Hey what sort of flash do you use? This lighting is really good considering the windows were boarded.. the flash on my d40x is basically only good for like portraits in direct sunlight... I could never get a shot like this in darkness.

	Ericam I wonder why there is an observation window in a closet-like room,. Hmm.

	Ericam Most of it's boring financial records/history. And it's all soaked and rotting anyways..
