Reminds me of Monsters, Inc......

Feet

Virginia

Lynne, which set of feet are yours? Motts, how fast was your shutter speed to capture their feet on the floor in the middle of the pirate dance?

Morgue

Virginia

Lynne, I have to wonder if any of the patients ever accidentally wandered to the morgue and were permanently traumatized by this? Has this ever happened anywhere you have worked? Perhaps a morbid thought but my morbid mind just has to wonder.

Now, now, Tony, you know the pirate dances are forbidden until Lynne gets here....

Marble

The illusion of authority...I have been wondering how overwhelming this must have seemed to someone coming here for the first time to be committed; especially those who were functional and capable. How frightening!

Loudspeaker

Virginia

I have a cartoon image of myself with big eyes and hair going in every direction passing in front of the speaker as Lynne begins to speak....

Pipes

Virginia

How big are they? The look monstrous but I'm a little slow and can't tell. Could a person fit inside them? Yes, I too have been checking MANY times every day. NOW do you believe a book would sell????

Reflections of Loneliness

Virginia

How in the world? You make it look three dimensional. Is the window just reflected from the tiles or did you set it up with your photography magic? This is amazing.

How did you take this shot? Were you kneeling for this one?

The Morning

Virginia

Mr. Motts,
I have recently discovered that there are others in the world who share my fascination with abandoned buildings. Your pictures have caused me to stay up much too late, and I am obviously not alone. I have looked at a number of wonderful sites in the past week but your work gives me the joy of feeling that I am in the building. I would willingly purchase (or ask a family member to purchase for me as a Christmas gift!) a book of your explorations. Thank you!
