i love how there are still little labels next to each rack

p.s.- lol hansi

not only is it more expensive to bulid deviating pages, but i imagine that it would be hard to keep track of renegade patients without a clear view

that's some impressive paint peeling going on... i wonder what happened to the pipe on the right toilet.... i also reccomend visiting this site i recently stumbled upon, it shows toilets from various cultures around the world... strangely fascinating...

this a really cool shot, the colors contrast nicely and i love the shadows of the bars over the windows...

if you've ever read that article "gaebler: o hell and back", this seems similar to the isolation rooms he described... dirty mats in empty rooms smelling of urine and feces...

yeah, i does look like a school hallway circa 1930, except way more twisted

i really like the depth in this shot... it's a very dreary room... thanks for the new gallery motts

I can't imagine them having to live down there. I can't imagine me having to live down there.

War. I understand the need for it then, but what a toll on the average person.

Reminds me of this show called Cities of the Underworld. In Rome, they had to paddle around in little boats.

I'm claustrophobic, I'd been having kittens already.....

I have found that viewing these photos while listening to music is like having my very own little documentary playing.

For these and the Taunton gallery I used Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. You would know it from Platoon. It is called the saddest music ever written.

It is some how appropriate when viewing some of these old places.

Mr Motts,

As a long time fan, I'm not sure if your photos are art, social commentary or a bit of both with a dash of something else as well.

I do know they are freaking brilliant and I'm going to keep pushing for a book or a museum showing!

The sado-masochistic theme is a little bizarre to find on these pages. It would appear that someone had a fascination with it...with the control that dominating a woman would give them, someone that obviously had absolutely no control in a place like this.

I notice that the boots are drawn with care. They are stilettos and always at a certain height. I'd say s/he has a boot fetish as well.

But, that's just me.

Oh my...Young Frankenstein suddenly comes to mind for some reason...

That, and you did this shot at another site.

...oohh, magnificent, just wonderful!
