I think your work is incredible!!! I have wandered about some of these US places myself, though I had never thought to try to photogrqaph them. Of course some of us are simply nothing with a camera so I will lesave it to those who have that artistic touch.
Have suggestions for sites in the western PA/VA/WV/OH area should you be in the neighborhood. Keep up the incredible work! |

Your photos are so amazing, this is exactly what I want to do when I get older (as a hobbie). But the one place that I've been to and would love to go back with my camera is the Hudson River Hospital, located in Poughkeepsie New York. Also known to everyone around here as the Insane Asylum. I thought you had gone there, but it would be one hell of an experience if you would go there. I went there at night time, not the best for pictures! But I want to go back and get permission to be there during the day so I can take photos and maybe do an essay or something for school. If you went there it would make my life! I've wanted to see it during the day but I haven't gotten the chance yet.

This is the most fascinating website I have ever seen. I love old architecture and the possibtility of ghosts, etc. It is just so sad that all of these beautiful buildings are sitting abandoned and left to decay. I notice a most of your finds are in the USA and Germany. Is this just because these are the only places you have traveled to so far? Or , did USA and Germany just have a higher concentration of asylums? Looking forward to your next excursion.

Could you sometime look into the old Laundry Houses. When they took young girls. Magdalene asylums were institutions from the 18th to the mid-20th centuries ostensibly for "fallen women", a term used to imply sexual promiscuity. Asylums for these girls and women (and others believed to be of poor moral character, such as prostitutes) operated throughout Europe, Britain, Ireland, Canada and the United States for much of the 19th and well into the 20th century. The first asylum in Ireland opened on Leeson Street in Dublin in 1765, founded by the Protestant Lady Arabella Denny.

Your photographs and the visual stories they tell are simply phenomenal. I have been visiting this website regularly since I first discovered it and each time I find a new discovery, even in photos I've seen before. There is something so hauntingly beautiful about these spaces, and you capture so well the lingering memories and sadness that they encapsulate. Thank you for taking me on your journey through these spaces.

I went up there 10 years ago and let me tell you,it was a very scary place to go to.My husband used to work there and he told me that that place was kinda haunted...And they def did some fucked up experiments with the humans there,they used them as like if they were rats to experiment on.And theres also a movie based on the danvers state hospital,it's called ''Session 9''.

I'm sure it is not necessary to say how beautifully you document these decaying places in photographs. Really wonderful.
It is possible to restore and change the use of some of these structures, as I'm sure you know. I can give you an example from North London (England). An asylum with a dubious past, was converted successfully some years ago into luxury apartments. A location perhaps not to everyone's taste. "Princess Park Manor" formerly Friern Hospital, a "county lunatic pauper asylum" built in 1845 |
