River View

Grace

This looks like a scene out of all the books I like to read. :P

BTW... how did you get to the island?

I love your consciousness of shadows in all your B&W shots.

Grace

This looks like an old british manor.

Panorama - Wards

Grace

Wow, I didn't realize how massive the assylum was. It looks like it could be converted into a small private college.

Crib With Sheet

Grace

This is my favorite shot from this group of pictures. Something very pretty about the colors and the sunlight, but the tattered sheet gives a very macabre aspect.

Passing Storm

Grace

The texture of the clouds looks awesome. I'm debating whether I like the power lines. I think they interrupt the solidity of the building, but they seem to be a good addition of the horizontal to the very vertical lines of the photo.

Grace

Reminds me of Emmet Gowin's Spring Snow. Lovely composition.

Is the linoleum peeling on the floor? Or what?

Long Hallway

Grace

The lighting is so rich. It really makes the colors in this photo pop.

Fire Escape

Grace

Wow, that fire escape looks a bit precarious. o_O

Checking It Out

Grace

How long was the shutter speed on this shot?

Detritus

Grace

Nah, when blood dries it gets a really dark red/brown/blackish color. These are most likely rust stains.

Courtyard

Grace

Right when this shot loaded on my screen I said "oh my god" outloud. This is really a beautiful shot. It reminds me of A Midsummer Night's Dream or something. Really, this is an amazing photo.

Artificial Light

Grace

Very classic, yet almost surreal. The color is beautiful.

Hall of Doors

Grace

I love the sun shining through the empty door knop socket.

Extinguisher Aftermath

Grace

I love this shot. The contrast and the smoke from the extinguisher has a really industrial, yet whimsical look to it.

Shower

Grace

We had showers like this in my old highschool. It was built in the 50's so it wouldn't surprise me that they just used cheap standard showers for highschools and asylums.

The Powerhouse

Grace

This looks like a photo from the 1950's or something. Very classic, simple, but effective.

Infrared Building 25

Grace

The way everything is set up in this photo, it almost looks like a minature model. It seems fake.

Freezer Doors

Grace

I love the warmth of this shot... though ironically, it's of freezers. o_O

Terraces

Grace

I love how the broken window frames this shot. The symmetry of the top two glass shards is really interesting and strange that it would be so perfect.

Electric Veins

Grace

I love the perspective of this shot. Also, the mossy green is so striking. It's amazing a color as beautiful as that is natural.

Hazy View

Grace

Wow, this shot is amazing! It looks like a modern version of the Aztec temples or something. But the trees remind me of California.

Twin

Grace

The floor is such a beautiful color.
