What I love about some of the photos on this site is the the feeling that somone just walked out of the frame, and at that exact moment time stood still. You almost expect someone to come back into the frame for thier cup and magazine.

What happens if you're not near a sign? How the hell will you know what to prepare for?

Just discovered this site a while ago, and was just finished up with all the archive stuff, I was gonna go back a look again and was thrilled to see something new.

Someone had permission at some point becuase I just saw a book at Borders that was pages and pages of the abandoned parts of Ellis Island (mental and medical hosital and the like.) According to the book there are plans to start more restorations.
