I can just imagine a ghost siting there....
At the moment, the ghost is trapped in the mirror (a few pictures back)
Aw, the last shot being of our good friend, the lonely chair, with a superb perspective and killer colors.

Great gallery, sir!
Too bad he didn't make it to the tea party in time.
Another fantastic gallery, Motts! What a great way to end it, too!!!!! THANKS!! This looks to be an even better wallpaper than I mentioned earlier!!!
Ah yes, a great way to end this one Motts! Thank you for another stunning gallery, you rock!
This might be my favorite chair yet.
Fantastic gallery, Motts! Thank you!
amazing gallery motts.
Yet again a lovely gallery, Mr. Motts! Many thanks!
Wonderful gallery! Beautiful shots and should I be surprised? NO! Your's area always amazing! :0)
This is the the end, beautiful friend......
Another good gallery.
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.
you never let us down, love the lonely chair shot!!!
if only that graffitti wasnt there down the hall.
Of all the galleries, I'm thinking that this is my favorite so far....absolutely incredible photography....thankyou so very much for sharing with us!!!
Thank you Mr. Motts amazing as always.
Very cool gallery :)
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...

EWWWW, but the GERMS, the GERMY GERMS! Asbestos! Lead Paint Dust! Just Plain Yucky Water that Seeped Through the Roof and Ceiling! Ickk
another great gallery of pics!!! you are truly a great photographer
just: :-)))
Thanks for the new pics, they rocked my socks as always. And yess the lone chair, always a favorite.
Motts, fantastic job on this gallery. Got an approximate date for your next gallery?
*narrowly dodges a paint ball and sits down in chair*

Motts, will you marry me? I want to come with you...
Only if we can get married in an abandoned building!
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
You're in luck Motts, there's an abandoned church out my way! :D
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.
how this chair just wishes for the day that someone will sit in him again...
Its your turn to take the chair...
Mr. Motts your photos are incredible! It isn't a true set of pics without the lonely chair
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.
the blue light on the side is a treat
Ever see the movie Session Nine? It was filmed in Danvers and this shot is vividly iconic to one of the main themes.
Goth -- go into the Danvers site. You will see a lot of comments about Session 9. LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!
Weren't You scared of the hospital bacillus while taking these pictures?
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.

You like those chairs, don't you?
You've got to love the lonely chairs.
You would have found many "cheeked" doses of Halcion and Haldol thrown behind the radiators at "the Met."
...wow..!!!!!it's totally crazy....great gallery
This is a beautiful photograph, I love the colors and the peeling floor tiles.
I wonder who last sat in that chair...
