Wildlife

I love this shot Motts, When I was a kid my favorite stuffed animal was my stuffed Racoon, This is an eerie reminder of old Raccy

Absolutely perfect shot!

This shot makes me think of some poor soul admitted to an insane asylum for clinging to some part of their childhood - and, eventually, having to let go, though not before they're long gone. It's so fun to let the imagination run wild with your photos, Motts.

The sunlight on the wall gives this a kind of immediacy for me - very intimate & sad. Nice work.

Great emotion provoking piece, Motts... sad, pitiful, borderline tragic. I wonder what become of the resident who used to hold this raccoon?

It's Teddies cousin from A.I. !
"Are you David? I have to find David. Are you taking me to David?"

No need for words the photo speaks for it's self.

Wonderful photo Motts.

aww, i wonder who was the last person to hug that raccoon....

ok if I would have seen that, that would have scared the crap out of me

My Favorite Photo Motts. Keep it up.

That is just too freaky...

Raccoon... or.... bear? HAH. Id love to do a swab test of that thing..

classic, the only comfort

all I can picture is someone just sitting on the floor, in a corner, rocking back and forth while squeezing this thing... you really do wonder who that person was

i wonder if anyone has missed this little guy

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I like its small shadow of the ear , on the wall.
You see it? Very touching...

Ahhh....


Is that real!!!!!!1???

Left behind...

This looks almost exactly like a raccoon doll I had as a kid...

Same here, Saturn.

Still waiting for it's owner to return.

This is one of the most evocative photos in the galleries I've seen so far. The toy is not human, but it's of human and it makes me feel indescribably sad.

;A; My older brother still has his old stuffed raccoon, Coon. This is beautiful... yet for some reason it breaks my heart.

That is a very sad picture. it feels so lonely and forgotten. Very well done. Even if it envokes sadness.

When I was hospitalized when I was 16 and put in the Child/Adolescent ward, the younger patients in the hospital were allowed to have one stuffed animal as a comfort item, but It had to be inspected and approved of by the head nurse, to make sure it didn't have anything they could use to hurt themselves. But as for us teenage psych. patients, we weren't even allowed to wear shoes, and, for us female patients, wear "hazardous undergarments" (meaning bras with under wires that we could "get creative" with and use to cut ourselves, mine of which they confiscated the day I came in).

Awww.... so sad.. did you take it with you to keep it company? :[

OMG...I had that same stuffed raccoon when I was a kid!

Actually I still have mine; I don't mean that I owned THIS stuffed animal, but wow. When I saw the photo my jaw dropped and I shouted "Hey! That's my raccoon!" LOL

For what it's worth, I never bonded with him...I thought he was ugly, but because he was given to me by a relative I felt like I had to keep him on display. I still think he's ugly and I'm not sure why I've kept him all these years. I didn't even bother to name him, and I didn't play with him or hold him. I had other animals that I liked a lot better.

I HAVE BUT ONE EYE! BUT BEWARE!

Awwwwww.

I saw this photo and my face just went

D-:

So sad.

I just want to hug the little guy and take him home. He provided comfort to someone and now he's abandoned.... makes one think.

thats sad, showing the face of what these porr places have become too much thinking.. cant stand it ah my brain exploded!

I just feel so unbelievably sad right now.

it kinda makes me sad seeing this some one loved it dearly and were forced to leave it behind x

That is a really evocative shot. I have to admit that the pic did kinda freak me out when I first saw it.

Rather creepy...

breaks my heart...

I had a plush Raccon, Meeko, from Disney's Pocahontas when i was little, but he's in the basement now. I miss him.

WOW! I attended college at NYIT from 92-96, and i always felt especially in the Sunburst bldg there were souls crying out. The academic bldgs always felt unusual with the glass windows, the cold echos, and lonesome hallways. You felt as though you were being examined. Sadly when I returned a couple of years ago, despite the local developments, some of the campus grounds look unkept and I know some horrible truth of the lives that remains ring out from the grounds there as well as though released into a society that was not prepared for them.
Your photos are literally bringing tears to my eyes (and to think after all these years I'm studying to psychology-to ensure cruelty never happens again to those who suffer mentally and emotionally)

Wow, this is creepy!

One can only imagine how deeply moving this picture is ,Very Powerful

i had a yellow stuffed dinasaur named sharp tooth, i slept with him untill I was 19 and i got my dog. I miss him :(

This is so sad, as is the clown on the wall...one only wonders.

Kinda on the disturbing side =/

See, this is the sort of thing that creeps me out. It's the fact that some child lived in this place, probably for most of his life

Just imagine If that raccoon could talk. He provided comfort for someone who was frightened...
