Lone Wheelchair

Oh, I absolutely love that shot. It's so lonely, but I love how the wheelchair is highlighted by the natural light. To me, that signifies the hopes and dreams of the patients, during a very hard part of their lives.

I was waiting for a photo to post my first comment on and this is the one! Beautiful. It looks so isolated, clinging to the light in a world of darkness and the space behind it is so foreboding. I wonder if you positioned the chair for this shot, or if it was found that way?

I'll admit, the wheelchair was slightly behind the door in the shadows, so yes I moved it up a little.

And this one is from A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Master (the tunnel where the wheelchair-bound kid gets 86-ed by our favorite 3rd-degree burned nemesis)

Haunting.

Perhaps the patient made a run for it.

After accidentally stumbling across the Dever school in Taunton Ma. on a bike ride with my daughter, I went on line to research what we had found. Your web site is fascinating, and your photography is remarkable! I can't recall that last time I saw photographs that had so much to say. Nice work!
