Beautiful as always, my friend. Just out of curiosity, do you ever get tempted to sit in the lonely chairs, just to give them a purpose again? I know I would...

You should take the chair and leave it somewhere with other chair friends so he won't be lonely.

Eddie, I should have a bunch of very small galleries coming in two or three weeks, mostly developmental centers and a children's psychiatric facility... I'll post them in groups

Excellent sequence of photos. The chair, my friend, do chairs have an important import in your short lifetime. It's wonderful to be able to express it in such media as photography. I love you. If I wasn't straight I'd ask you to marry me. Just a joke. Your talent constantly amazes and impresses me, and Lynne's knowledge of the system should be an incentive to make a documentary.

I'm supposed to be studying for an exam but have just "lost" 3 hours totally absorbed by this amazing site..... what a fantastic combination of stunning, sad, scary and thought-provoking pictures. Amazing and wonderful, thank you.

I can't wait for your next galleries. I live near this huge airforce shipping station on the water. It even has pumps to pump all the oil into ships and a warehouse that is tin on the outside but inside its all wood?? I tried to email you. I dont think it got through though or maybe you're flooded with emails. I will try to send a panoramic picture of the outside of all the buildings. It's in WA (not D.C.). I can give you an exact address through private email but I would enjoy seeing this place on your site.

Ever see the movie Session Nine? It was filmed in Danvers and this shot is vividly iconic to one of the main themes.

ahhh, the (in)famous chair, gota love the classics. Seriously though, you capture the true feel of the hospital in all your photos. I just have to visit this place some day.

Sir, I've spent years in some of the very rooms that you have captured. A lot of humanity has transpired within those brick walls and your photographs have an aura-like quality. If you used film, I'd like to correspond.
