Storage

Storage

The storage rooms were cramped, yet very tall; rows of empty compartments stretched up to the high ceiling. There was one of these rooms in almost every ward.

I have been visiting your site for months, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I check faithfully for new pictures, and am always thrilled when something new is put up. I'm not one to comment often, but I have to say that I love your photographs. The composition and use of light and colour are awesome, and your obvious respect for the places you visit shines through in your pictures.

This picture is one of my favourites - the lighting and composition just grab me, and the stark simplicity of the subject speaks volumes.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us, and for providing a pictorial record for many buildings that have since been demolished.
This is a particularly striking shot. I really love it!
I agree, it is almost sad AND hopefull at the same time.
Great shot, I love the way the light outlines the edges of the shelves.
Totally amazing Motts how you can turn a set of shelves into a complete work of Art!
amazing!!! i love this picture!
Again, magnificent shot. you can make something so simple a real work of art.
I agree wholeheartedly with FMD; Thank you Motts, for making these amazing photos available for all to enjoy! Truly awesome!
I am in awe. Your use of the light and the almost divine chosen cubicle make this one of my favorites. Good show Motts!
When I worked at Belchertown State School, we had storage areas like this, called "clothing rooms". Unfortunately, back in the 70's, the lower-functioning clients didn't have their own clothes; instead, they were given one-size-fits-all pants with elastic waists, etc. All those box-like shelves would be stuffed with sorted clothes that staff would pull out indiscriminately. (In some of the buildings I worked in, the clothes were soon torn off anyway).
This photo just sorta hit me, and you can just imagine an exhaughsted hospital worker stuffing something in those shelves, or maybe another sneaking something. You can see the age, and decay, but they still stand. amazing really...
I have been to this place in person on the witching hour which is 3:00 am. Let me tell you there is without a doubt an evil presence that is still there. Let me just say that when i walked into the one room i got a severe headache and my nose started to bleed, so i give you all a fair warning.
I'm more or less speechless now. Spectacular shot!
Great photo!
We used to have cubbys like this in my elementary school.
I want those shelves for my toy horses!!!!
