I took some film classes in college and was quite awful at it, so I suppose one could say I've taught myself once I started focusing on it during my own time, and with these abandoned buildings as subjects that inspire me to improve myself.

I'm not defending any real abuse or brutality, but a good deal of past treatment that we consider abusive today, was considered "state of the art" in its time. These hospitals were founded with the intent of helping people, not dehumanizing and warehousing them. But then the "system" (which is ALL of us), with its lack of financial support, took over.
