Thanks, yes I like vignetting in some photos of mine.

Thank you; it looked like most of the wooden roof had rotted (or burned away in places).

Most likely an area to place a fire extinguisher, but I'm not positive.

Here and there; there were also more refined-looking pieces of art on the walls as well.

I don't give out information on how to enter the properties, but the hospital building looked pretty smashed out when I visited last year; so I assume it was accessible.

It was one large building, about 1/2 a mile long, with various wings attached to a central administration section. Gravesend is not the actual name for this place, but it is a real neighborhood in Brooklyn NY.

They did tear it down, in 2006-2007.

I'm not sure which report you're speaking of, but in her defense this could have been a staff bathroom, or in a building that did not need to be as safe and secure.

Many of the patient bathrooms there seemed to have a few stalls, not singular like this one.

I think the number two signifies the floor number, but I'm not sure why they are everywhere. The stalls were empty shower or changing rooms, except for some rubble and left over clothes here and there.

This particular building is set off the main campus and lies in close vicinity of the active national guard area; it hasn't been as traveled as the other structures and is not wide open. I don't think many of the items they have left in there hold much value, or are able to be taken easily (try carrying this thing out!)

That kind of graffiti shows up in many abandoned and urban places all over the world... I really didn't even notice it. I disregard tags of this nature as they hold no interest or value to me personally.

Thank you for the note and for your website Miriam!

Yes, it looks like it's still coiled up inside for the most part.

Nope...

Thanks; yes I do shoot in RAW mode, so all the photos need to run through an image editing program, where I correct the color and contrast.
