Jesus! Look at those colours. Those are just...entrancing. Oh, and not to mention the angle of the shot is just totally awesome.

Your ability to evoke varying emotions to your shots is inspiring. Do you do any manipulation of your images after they are shot or is all of that color and texture from the ambient light?

Chris, thank you, I almost always use the natural colors of the environment - post manipulations are usually brightness and contrast adjustments.

It has a sort of a 'sub-marine' quality. With the colors and angle of the shot and that eerie quality I almost can feel the confused and hazy drugged underwater nightmare. Creepy yet dreamy. I love it.

I love the colors! They make the room seem strangely alien and yet still very down to earth, here...

Imagine being an inmate when the hospital was functioning - the sheer joy of those colours would lift your depression and make you feel alive because you captured what they saw

I want to know who you had watching your back when taking these beautiful photos as I would have been s**t scared that the remnants of an old resident might still be present !!!

I remember it well. We used to prepare a big comfy chair with a pillow and we were in charge of this mighty corridor that went into a linear line to the last room where one had a total take what was happening. It was a place where, an errant noise, something didn't look right, a shlft in enviorment that a good staff person could pick up. One knew when it was time for action or not. It was all keeping your back to the wall and percieving things that might take place before they happened.
