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.
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! :)
