Heh, actually this is from my Sony (it's an infrared shot), anything not infrared is my Rebel. I got lazy and didn't use a tripod.

Hah, you'll be here for a while if you wanna pick out my grammatical & spelling errors. But thanks anyway.

Back of  Wooden Wheelchair

Motts

Wow it must be a subconcious thing... I wonder what it means!

Back of  Wooden Wheelchair

Motts

They were most likely used for patients who could not control thier motor functions to keep them from involuntary hurting themselves and others. There isn't really much of an alternative, except for drug treatment, which hadn't really started taking hold until the 1950's.

Big Gears

Motts

Yes the industrial imagery in that movie was pretty awesome!

Employee Quarters

Motts

That's scary, the rooms looked pretty damn small in there.

Step Down

Motts

Thanks! The stairs weren't too bad... hell, I'm glad there's any steps at all. Climbing up using just the little side ledge when there aren't any really sucks.

OK, OK, it's a soap dispenser... my hopes and dreams of it being a light are shattered!

That would be building 125, former administration, which is right across from this.

Creepy Hall

Motts

The exterior shots of the hotel in the original movie are of the Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood in Oregon, the interiors were indoor sets filmed in England.

The remake was filmed at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

Backstage of the large auditorium.

Patient Belongings

Motts

Thanks, but posting the private lives of people on the internet would make me no better than the institutions who leave these things lying around. I'm sure the families of these people would appreciate it if these were left where they are as well.

Nursing School Library (Before And After)

Motts

I wouldn't doubt it... Edgewood was practically across the street.

These graduates probably worked at hospitals all over New York; I'd imagine Pilgrim State's nursing school was top notch, being that this was the largest psychiatric institution in the US.

Parallel Light

File Room

Motts

Meh, they were mostly work orders and reciepts for food, machine parts, pipe fittings, etc. It was really neat to see the old headers they used, they were like big detailed etchings instead of crappy little letterheads they have nowadays.

Arched Window

Motts

Thanks!

Control Booth

Motts

Oh yeah, inside were walls seperating the room from everywhere else, and thick shards of glass where the windows used to be... it's hard to tell from here.

Poop

Motts

Wow, where do you work?

[edit: Ah ok, I read your other comment. That's still pretty crazy... ]
