really incredible shot.
your work is wonderful! Thankyou!
Excellent play of light and shadow! Very rich colour, as well. Great shot, if a little creepy...
Nice play of light and darkness. You have caught the spirit of it all. Just one more thought. Although I dislike to a degree that these old funky hospitals should be raped and and ravaged by little teeny boopers and the like, I think your photography does justice to what you have done. Historically you've done a great service to the system and put it in the context of photos that in a year or two will not be duplicated. You've done a service my friend and did it with compassion and honesty.
See this 1 looks a lil scarrier.
This picture is absolutely amazing! Its unbelievable!
It is a tad creepy but I love it!
Because I love this photo so much I decided to give all my folks on this site the news that the first apartment has been rented. It's called Hilltop and what used to be the old female employees home. The article went on to say that old main will be demolished this coming spring. I just want to say a thankyou to Motts for capturing a space in time that can never be repeated and will be never more. Your photos were the only history that can be reported of all that went on in that sacred place. Without you it would have never been recorded and we all thankyou for giving all of us a passage to past . We all know that the history has and will continue to be demolshed under the wrecking ball and a new genereration of non descipt edifaces will be constructed for the pleasure of the bottom line, bucks. Thankyou for having the balls to go in these places and giving all our friends a sendoff that they all deserved. Your pics are an invaluable history of what was. Years from now these photos will be displayed and give the folks of tomorrow land an idea what it was all about. Put your photos in a big safe, get them patented because they are going to be around for many, many years to come. Onward and upward, photo man.
Well said, Johnny Mac!
Johnny Mac, You the man.
Wow, thanks Johnny! I have one more set to post, I'll try to put them up when they start working on the Kirkbride.
the entrance to hell...must have been what people saw when first seeing this...basements have always been... well...you have to get into movies Motts. Session 9 could've benefitted from your vision!
One of the creepiest and disturbing pics I've seen. So much unsaid. Great!
Terrifying but great shot
this is one of my favorits
Looks like something from "Bones" or maybe
Amityville Horror. Seems like I am the only one commenting on a lot of these but that's cool
if u look in the right of the entrince it looks like a sad face on the wall...if u look at it right u can see it
really super scary picture of the basement; i would never go down there 'at least not at night
anyway;
Like ten years ago we were in the basement we even went to sears and bought bolt cutters to get in it is hella scary but mad fun gotta try it some time but it was dusk not night we felt mad anguish and fear
This picture would kick Chuck Norris's butt! Great shot Motts!
