	Rob Another great gallery Mr. Motts! I've just found out about Opacity for like a week now, but it's surely addictive. I really like your galleries and background info about the locations. It's like visiting the place just by looking at the photographs. Too bad we don't have places like this over here in The Netherlands. Keep up the good work Mr. Motts!

	Rob I was at Buff State in '77-'78. We would cut through the hospital property to get to a liquor store nearby. You could almost hear the screams and crazed laughter of those locked away.........

	Rob Concerning the cans of cat food... I was there with a friend and we watched a lady drive up to one of the dorms and opened up many cans of cat food and a whole bag of dry food for the family of cats that live there

	Rob These shots are amazing. Has anybody ever transcribed the writing on these walls? I'd be very curious to know what it all says. Normally I'd write it off as graffiti, but obviously somebody really had something to say to go to such an extent.

	rob My mom spent all of my childhood at Pilgrim. I vividly remember the weekend trips to visit her when she was finally allowed visitors...barred windows, screaming half-clothed women and pretty much utter degradation.

	Rob Notes are written on the machine by maintenance employees. The RS means right side for reassembly when machine is apart. Looks like a shaft mounted exciter by which the main generator gets its DC. The steam turbine that drives the main generator spins this also eliminating the need for two mg sets.

	Rob Actually this stuff is still being used at the Umass Amherst College. And it still causes irritation to skin and lungs and just overall reaks.

	rob honestly, does anyone know for sure whether there are alarms or anything like that. I reached the area with the 2 holes and saw instructions on the wall. I couldnt really read them and i have heard talk about alarms so i turned back. Were they once there and gone now?

Location: Kings Park Psychiatric Center  Gallery: Building 7 (Medical Building)

	Rob Worked there for 15 years-quite a place!!

Location: York Street Jail  Gallery: The Big House

	Rob Judging from the decomposition(I don't really know the location, but it seems like a fairly closed-off room) it was probably dead for at least 10-15 years. This probably means it was dead prior to the closing of the hospital...which is fairly sick.

	Rob Did you read any of them Motts? Did they say anything interesting?
