WHO YA GONNA CALL?

MOTTS
Do you know by chance when this place was last used?

See Lynne. What the hell do i know?
how do you find all this stuff?
Damn! : )

Motts too bad this doesnt have a spell check. I could use it. I'm sick of having to look words up, and people are getting sick of me asking them. :-)
HA! HA! HA! phonics!

So motts;
how much trouble would you be in if you got cought taking that? (beings that it's so old)
And i'm assuming that you probebly had to have permission to go in those places.
I think its great that you are able to.
The mental hospital that i work at has old abandonded buildings on the grounds. (it's well over 100 years old)
They don't let anyone take photos of them though as we house inmates from jail in one of the remodeled ones.
I've been told it's a privacy issue.
Too bad though. The old Goveners mansion has a italian marble staircase in it. It is beautiful.
Too bad no one else can enjoy it.

I too had these chairs in grade school. My music teacher would kick them at us because we would drive him crazy with our velcro shoe straps.
Thats back when they were getting popular.
Now guess how old i am. :-)

Anyone up for a little lite reading?
I got dibbs on any Steinbeck!

Lynne your a trooper.
Sorry again for being a huge A - HOLE!
After i snooped around a bit on other photo things i found that you DO know your stuff and that it is i how has alot to learn. Thanks again for being so forgiving. You handled it alot better than i would have. BIG SMILES to you!!!

Thanks Tom Tom.
Since i was shown this site i have become addicted to it.
It's pretty cool to see all these wonderful photographs and communicate with all you (understanding) starangers. :-)
I don't know much about this site though.
How often do new photos come out?

Holy Cow surly g.
Your up late. Do you work nights too?
: )
HA! HA! HA! 4:24 am

Dr. Shawn, Thats a good one.
Sometimes i think the only difference between me and the patiens is i have the keys to get out. Don't tell my bosses.
They will put me on the other side of the desk.
Just jokes. : )
It is a rewarding job, helping people, but it can get pretty stressful at times, with all the spitting, punching, yelling, threatining, and even some broken bones.
HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!!

Well here comes this new guy sturring up trouble.
To Lynne and surly girl.
Truce?

Ok so i'm a big jerk!
sorry Lynne.
Can you forgive me?
: )
P.S. Balance, I love you as well!

Thank you for the welcome.
A friend that i work with showed me this excellent site.
Sorry i was blasting you Lynne, maybe i should have kept my mouth shut!
I guess i take things too seriously.
: )
I'll play nice from now on.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC PHOTO!

ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

to surly girl.
Thanks for introducing me to joke.
Lead the way.
: )

MOTTS:
What a terrific photo. I'm head over heels
for all those colors. How do you get them to turn out like that?
I do some stuff with slide film processed as C-41. I get some great colors like that.
Any tips?

To rich_edwards 79.
You have hit the nail right on the head.
Too true.

LISA,
Is that a person?

LISA,
What does pataki mean?
I'd be interested to know.

I am in agreement with everyone also.
I love the long hallway and the colors, those wonderful colors.
I'm not a big fan of using a flash, but it really adds to this one. It gives it a striking clarity. Not to mention that it's a must from time to time.
Nice Picture!
Hey Johnnsy. I love the "creeeeeeak."

Lynne in regards to your 2nd entry.
All i have to say is, GIVE ME A BREAK!
You can't be serious. Right?
Please say your kidding.
You should join the rest of us in reality.
You can't be THAT naive.

Oh boy.
Lynne i hope you were joking about being a psychologist. It seems that you have a fixation with paint balls. I don't even want to know why.
Try Clozaril. It will do wonders for you and your psychosis.
P.S. Try QID.

I have to ask you lynne. Do you really believe that no food or water bit? God i hope not, or you obviously have alot to learn about psychology. Patients are put into seclusion for safety reasons not for punishment. More so now than then granted. To not give patients access to food, water, toilet, etc. is not only illegal it is inhumane. The laws and medications have changed and improved so much that extreme cases of people in seclusion for long periods of time are rare. At least at the mental hospital that i work at. It can be a long process to get Dr.'s orders to even lock someone in seclusion and that is after all other interventions have failed.
And as far as the having paint sets in seclusion, you'll be singing a different tune when you have to explain to a family
how you gave someone the tools to hurt themselves or others. So many bad things could happen as a result of that.
I could tell you some stories.

WOW! I can't get enough of the light! Every photograph depends on the light in one form or another. This one is no exeption. Amazing! Such a lonely scene. Makes me think of all the people that have stood leaning against that wall just there, staring out that huge window. All the thoughts that went through their minds as they gaze in longing to be outside. To be free.
Each pane of glass could be a story or a border for some escape only to be realized in dreams.
