Great colors and texture.

Looks like that wheelchair is collecting his things so he can move out of that rat-infested firetrap. Smart move on his part, I'd say.
You've corrupted my mind, Motts! (don't worry, that's not a bad thing)

I took my mother for day surgery today and wondered what would happen to that hospital if it were to close and be left abandoned; what would look decrepit first, would the high glossy shined linoleum peel and detach all at once like so many of the floors you photograph....stuff like that.

I also saw all of the various equipment and decor in a whole different perspective, too. The reclining chairs, the gurneys, the ugly green tiles that decorated 2/3 of the wall in one long hallway in the basement where radiology was hidden....(I also saw it differently because I'm dating an RN, too, but your photographs changed my perspectives on things a great deal more than he has)

It was one of those moments when if I were to know the place was closing, I'd want to be there on closing day to photograph it, then continually document its decay over a long period of time.

Thanks for the COOL notions you've planted in my mind! :)
Ya know, I took my dad to the VA hospital for an appointment on the 29th, (the hospital is quite old) and all I could think about is what this place would be like if it were abandonned, and how it would look through Mott's eyes if it were (the main entrance and lobby itself looks like a very old hotel) Autumn, I'm glad I'm not alone in the "mind corruption" :-)
Creppy as hell man....... reminds me of a horriable movie....... like pearl harbour or something scary like that..... ben afleck suxs
Homeless people live there
When I first saw the caption, I thought it said 'wheelchair in hell'. After studying the picture, I may have been right.

..... pb
The walls kinda look like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Damn, now I'm hungry-------Great colors man!!!
it looks like a spirit could be trying to get out but is blocked.
I'm not sure what your seeing Hiei.
This picture is like a nightmare turned real!
Welcome to Silent Hill, Motts.
hehehe i love wheel chairs
Were those boxes empty or what ?
That old wheel chair has been a round a long time.
I'm not sure how this speaks to the equipment in the hospital where I work, but this sort of wheelchair is quite common.
Great color. Like the peeling of the wall
Maybe the paint peeling doesn't look that bad. If it were still green all over the walls, it would be considerably more ugly in low light.
Is that a barbeque grill further down the hall to the left? Hot meal and a wheely chair. Nothing better.
