Last Look

Judderman

Another expedition well done.
On a side note, sir Motts, will you be providing us with any pictures of the tunnels that ran underneeth the place?

Unknown Objects

Judderman

I don't think these are any kind of ovens. They're just too open. Until Lynne comes along, we'll just have to keep guessing.

Medication

Judderman

If they weren't labelled then I presume they weren't filled either at the time. It makes sense to take the medications with you when you leave (even though we've seen differently).

Skeletal Remains

I despise lol.

Secure Bathroom

Judderman

Lovely to see how nature slowly but surely reclaims these old places which were once taken from it.

Home

Judderman

It does now, yes. What did they keep in there? Bears?

(this is a joke referring to the strangely confined cells)

Closing In

Judderman

And don't forget the maddening moiré.

Caged Room

Judderman

...I do believe it's a lamp...

No shit, sherlock?

Pause

Judderman

Yes, I can understand if that shocked you, sir Motts... I mean, they were supposed to help people there, right? Not lock them up in cages?
...
This is weird, no?

Behind the Stairwell

Judderman

Wow, look at that neat tiling! I'm glad they're not going to tear this wonderful place down.

Death?

Judderman

I was in a hospital for four days a few weeks ago (pneumathorax). I was bedbound. After a while the smell of my own armpits was making me nauceous. And there were hardly any nurses around.
Very bad caring indeed.

Flea Market

Judderman

The grate in that window creates a kind of Moiré in the small thumb. Nice.

Dim

Judderman

Ahh, the depths. I suppose this shot was taken in a lower level of the building? Just a hunch.

Curvature

Judderman

Btw, nice poem, Kassie. Fits in lovely.

Curvature

Judderman

This frightens me. All those childhood dreams are coming back to me now... thanks alot, Motts.

Ole Bird From New York

Judderman

Imagine all the other things that you didn't discover... which still lie there untouched and unseen

Stampede

Judderman

I hope the buffalos trample all three of them.
Pretentious gun-wielding brutes.

Shower Head

Judderman

Oh golly, that's the meanest showerhead I've ever seen. Almost like a multi-barreled Chaingun.

You'll get a shower allright... a lead shower... Muhahahaa

Stain

Judderman

Did someone say "feces"?

Death?

Judderman

"Pet-H"
perhaps a patient once had a pet named Harry.

Loudspeaker

Judderman

All of the sudden, while photographing the speaker...
"ACHTUNG! Sie haben keine erlaubnis hier zu kommen!"

....or something.

Light Streaks

Judderman

Reminds me of a trainstation near my neighborhood, especially the curved ceiling and windows.

Grated Floor

Judderman

Yes, okay, I admit it's not the perfect solution. Porta-potties might be. Bring your own porta-potty, rig it with a few wheels and a handle so you can take it with you on your trips. If you're travelling by car, you may have to tie it to the roof horizontally (however, make sure it is empty if you don't want feces dripping down your windows). Also, it might be a little bit hard to take with you in old, unstable buildings where the elevators don't work.

Apart from that... perfect solution, no? :-P
