Marked

The rain poured into these day rooms from leaks in the ceiling, collecting in a puddle that stretched across the entire floor.

pretty soon to collapse probably, which is one of my favorite "Motts" topics - collapsed floors.
So, if the earlier 'X' was bang head here, I'm gonna go ahead and guess this one means 'Sit buttocks here'.
ANOTHER lonely chair (times 2, this time!)
Is that just a grated opening behind the chair? Too low to be a window.
Sometimes I wonder if it isn't better to tear something like this down and build a park as it is to let it suffer so much?
@Ferdy
then the memories of these people would be lost.
Except for Mr.Motts and his work of course.
Chair looks rather comfortable, dont think i'd sit on it anythime soon tho.
another X to mark the spot.
Yeah, what is that grate behind the chair...an airduct? And what is that in the upper right corner...a door or window?
I love the contrasting white and brown on the wall along with the chair and wet floor. Cool shot.
Right upper corner......access to some left over space? Attic or air return?
Does anyone else see a woman wearing a summer hat, in the peeling paint? It's directly above the chair. It's the first thing I saw when this photo loaded. Kind of Georges Seurat looking. I love it!
once we relegate people to a lower status than ourselves than it seems to be easier for us to justify the abuse and neglect of the less fortunate
Looks like a profile to the right of that white shape above the chair!
Xamination chair.
Madorit

I saw a woman too, but I think its different then yours, ghost white woman head turned towards the ceiling you see the bottom of her eyes and a large nose, he mouth is open and she appears to be wailing and her brown hair is blowing uncontrollably around her.....right above the chair, the splash of white is her face/neck toros and her hair is the brown portion that frames it......
gota have that chair shot eh motts? i look up to you with your chair shots
Looks like the floor just got buffed by the reflection of the chair legs
When I look at the white patch right over the chair, I see (within the white) a face...a ghostly face almost demonish.

Rorschach (sp) anyone?
Hmm. Another x.
A woman with a hat with flowers on it is what I saw as soon as this loaded
Anyone else thinking Professor X? :P
