Your real talented. I'm from new Bedford MA and there is a lot of historical places I would love to photograph...if only I had the know-how.

The Asylum

Nathan

Pity the building is going to soon be demolished. Its such a beautiful building wich holds so many secrets!! I would have been a wonderful museum or tourist attraction. They rebuilb it and turn it back into an asylum!!!

Nathan

Ive broken in there with my friends, it really does look like that, those are really well done.
One question?
its pitch black in there where did you get the lighting?

Cross

Nathan

That would be where they hung the body with the sign under saying "Pirates, Ye be warned!"

The Chair

Nathan

Haha, not THE chair, but still very cool color amidst the rot.

Location: Eastern State Penitentiary  Gallery: Behind the Walls

Guard Tower Panorama

Nathan

I love how you can tell which of the buildings are original (shorter, more run down looking, more skylights) and which of them are newer construction shoehorned in between

Psychiatric Department

Nathan

It might say Psychiatric Department on the door, but don't think that their goal is to help you, Muahahaha! I would not trust the people behind that door...nope.

Hallway

Nathan

I will sleep in there

Warning

Nathan

Can you just imagine how many emberrasing moments there must have been to promt someone to post that sign?

"where's Davis?!"

"poor schlep must have locked himself in there again"

"how long you think we should leave him in there this time? haha"

Blacked Out Window

Nathan

I do believe I would have disturbed sleep cycles if I tried to crash there in its present condition!

Curves

Nathan

They sometimes will do that (my high school chemlab had something like this) when the intended purpose is only for the faucets to be connected to tubes to send water elsewhere. Nothing is intended to be washed there, it's only a supply. There's a drain of course, but it's only big enough to catch whatever drips from a loose fitting or someone wanting to fill something up beneath the fixture.

Coil

Nathan

Motts, did you see whether there was still cable wrapped around that drum?

Top

Nathan

The scary thing with electric motors like that is, if you cleaned it off and gave it a bit of juice it would probably start spinning again. They are nearly impossible to kill.

Fern

Nathan

What floor was this on? If it's anything other than ground floor, it makes you wonder how a seed for a fern ended up there!

Stalls

Nathan

I'm guessing shower stalls. See the pipe running overhead? There are most likely shower heads in each directly over the place to stand.

Checkered

Nathan

I would drop a marble down it and listen to the rattle

Dirty

Nathan

Definitely grease. Believe it or not, those elevators get up to a pretty high speed to get the workers up or down quickly. That wheel would have been wound up to a pretty high speed, enough to throw a few drops of grease off here and there.

Wheels

Nathan

No cables eh? That must mean that the elevator has been removed or dropped to the bottom.

Solitary Machine

Nathan

I've seen pictures of the inside of their new brewery. It's as if the equipment was just modernized. They still have a nifty look to them (the tanks that is...) but they've lost that curvy whimsical look in favor of a much more industrial (but still polished) look. It looks like they are made of stainless steel at this point.

Deviate

Nathan

It's a very tiny picture, but you can see the old tanks shine!

The Outside World (Evergreen II)

That's a fun wallpaper, nice touch making the Opacity fit inside the porthole!

A Lush Balcony

Nathan

Sure it's lush, but I don't think it was meant to be!

"Safety Chairs"? What exactly about these chairs makes them so "safe"?
