Johnny Mac

Hey, it's the happy valley with Mt. Tom to the right. The winter sunrise would be spectacular from this vantage point.

Elevator Shaft

Johnny Mac

What floor me dear? Are you descending or accending. Each floor had a new and different dimension for all to experience.The truth is in the trip.

Tattered Reflection

Excellent pic, macro, micro. It's animated in a still photo. Hey, Motts, you do good work.

Bathtub

Johnny Mac

Oh Shawn, how you have it so wrong. This was older model of the modern day Jacuzzi, you know, for pleasure only. It was no more than a hydrotherapy tub, for better or worse.

Old Asylum

Johnny Mac

Not bad, but looks like a feeble attempt of a Kirdbride. Nevertheless, a damned good pic.

Demilune, of course they do and will continue even after they turn to dust.

Absolutely a Jack 'O" Lantern staring from within. Have to look at it with an open open mind.

Tattered Shades

Johnny Mac

The magnificent saddness of it all. It a take on being on the inside looking at the outside. The ying and the yan. Such a emotional photo from a master.

Small Window

Johnny Mac

Very vived color contrasts. Looks to be the entrance to a chapel or a holy place. Maybe even a mausaleum. Just another outstanding Mott's photo.

Vacant

Excellent sequence of photos. The chair, my friend, do chairs have an important import in your short lifetime. It's wonderful to be able to express it in such media as photography. I love you. If I wasn't straight I'd ask you to marry me. Just a joke. Your talent constantly amazes and impresses me, and Lynne's knowledge of the system should be an incentive to make a documentary.

Creep

Johnny Mac

Another outstanding image. The greeness, what is that? I was always concious when I used the paint ball torture to my charges that in no way would use leaded paint. I could in no iway be able to pay off for the deadly sin. Because I was a compassionate staff fellow, I aways used latex, beside it had sorta a different effect. How sad it is for people to feel that way about the faithful.

Tea for Three

Johnny Mac

The black and white angles, how wonderfully deep dark and depressing. It brings the full force of what it was.

Hydrotherapy

Johnny Mac

Lynne, your grasp of history of the system just contstantly amazes me. I observed the photo and said to myself, self, what a great tub. It has nice tile on one side, It's deep, no price was spared to buy this tub, but what does it end up to be for most of readers, a source of torture and abuse. We damned lucky that we have you for straight on reality. The kids need a constant reality check, times have become so grotesque that it has been blurred and our kids have missed it.

You know, everytime I think I have a take on Lynne, she turns around and blows me away. Your the woman, Lynne.
