I'm so glad you have a gallery for this place. I fell in love with it when I saw it... right around the time you shot this set actually. I had no idea there were plans to renovate it, and I'm sure I would have been disappointed to go back and finally explore it only to find it's been turned into apartments. I'm certainly glad they preserved the building, and now I can at least go inside without risking arrest! Thanks for a great set Motts!

Brilliant really enjoyed these photos there is something timeless about looking at these monuments and you wonder about the person whose life they represent.

Could the knobs have been used to tie restraints to?

Suarez thug?

How well you doin?, Prefer have a possian for just how ough done that subject… might might sign up for excellent website and provides me a variety of tipps. thank you in advance

well be better without the grafitti

most of the damage in the whole place has been casused by teenagers going there for a thrill to be scared... smashing things up... i shud no iv seen it first hand

can you get into the building or is it guarded and blocked off???

hey does anyone know how to get to this place from portland Maine????i need directions, also how is it getting into the building is it hard

can u still get in some of the buildings?? or all they all gone. can you just walk in or do you need some kind of permission???? would really like to know

my friend's a photographer also
she took a picture of her friend actually laying down in one of those.

remember the picture of the angels going up the stairway.... and how they seemed sad because it looked like they were walking to the devil, notice these angels are happy and passed the devil. why do some people think these people were possessed? a hospital like this doesn't mean these people were possessed. they are drawing what they feel and believe, and it seems they believe in a heaven and a hell... like many do.

these people may have never had an education such as us, hint the spelling errors. also they are under-develop, they are just like children many times. or maybe these words are errors in our eyes yet in theirs it has a completely different meaning. these people see the world in such a way we can never even imagine... so i believe spelling errors are the least of their concerns. they didn't ask for such a life like this so why do you wish so much pain and suffering towards them?

it seems to be a very sad dark picture, i would have hated to be the person waking up and seeing this every day, knowing it was completely out of my reach.

nice picture, with the clouds in the backgroud, and looking up at the tower. black and white is great fot this picture.
