Maybe they made Ernie a girl to represent both genders, even if the shots are from seperate areas. I thought this was funny...

Keep Morgue Clean

Bethany

"etc." could be like surgical masks or something.
I don't understand how someplace like a morgue could ever be truly and completely clean. Then again, I feel the same way about hospitals as well.

Distort

Looks like there's an imprint from the mirror behind it...maybe it slid down again. Very nice shot!

The Graveyard

For some reason the way they're all in rows is a little scary. How sad...RIP.

Incredibly awesome. The shadow makes it particularly interesting...reminds me of a Japanese ghost story. Great shot!

Nuclear View

Bethany

KBWS, absolutely... and the buildings are patrolled and re-locked once a month. Its all documented on the doors... they seem to visit the sites in the middle of each month and secure the doors. The first time I visited Linfield, most buildings were open... the second time, the main building where I really wanted to revisit was locked. Take a crow bar and you're good to go!

I love this picture...

the contrast between the old of the house and the newness of the foliage is really beautiful and is a recurring theme in this set of pictures.
I noticed that a lot of windows were broken in by tree branches, and it seemed to me like nature was trying to tear the house down.

the black and white version is my favorite, though. it looked to me like an illustration from a story book, except instead of old style cottages, a more modern house.

it's beautiful

it almost looks like they lost their train of thought halfway through the note and it came out more honestly than they expected.

I read the book "Wickett's Remedy" last year, and if I'm not mistaken, this is the hospital she ended up working in.

fantastic!

Orange Bed

I love this!
it's so rare to find things as they were.
that bed was definately made by a nurse!

Exits

bethany

also, the darkness of that door just looks so ominous!
it reminds me of how black our basement was and why I was so scared of it as a kid.

Exits

bethany

I really like this picture.
the paint lookes almost puffy in some places like the walls became bloated at one point and stretched and cracked it and then they fell back to their original size and the paint stayed at that size

Shower Stalls

bethany

people always wanna put more of a story into these places than what's there... they wanna make things worse than they were.

there wouldn't be blood dripping from the TOPS of all of the walls unless it somehow seeped in from a floor above, in which case, there'd hafta be a lot of blood in the above room... enough to saturate the walls and floors.

think logically, people and stop trying to make this stuff seem so sinister. more than likely if theres red spatters or liquid, it's rust.

Tub

bethany

I can't believe I'm the first to say this, but it really is astounding... what a good idea to put the soap dispenser right above the bathtub!! genius.
