I hate Wal-Mart! That picture would make the perfect cover for a doom metal album.

peeling paint from water damage. institution green paint. i hate that color, something about it is so depressing and hopeless to me, cold, sterile, lifeless. Yet, this photo is beautiful. It's amazing how much beauty is hidden inside ugliness, or just the idea of the mystery.

Or is that plaster? In which case, I retract my previous statement as I am an ignorant goof.

Disturbing. Is that even possible? Thick concrete for the walls, could you even put scratches in like that with your nails? Wouldn't the seclusion rooms have been padded to prevent people from smashing their brains out on the wall?

STAY NEGATIVE!!!!

it looks like a place I could see Helmet or the Melvins playing in.

Your photographs are great Motts!
Your shots of the abandoned Eagle River hydro plant held me captive for quite a while . Reminds me of the times I used to find ways into soon to be demolished buildings. And some times it was with the blessings of the owners or the demolition companies as long as I promised to use common sense about where I went.
I guess those days are over.
Keep up the fine work . Any shots of projection booths and equipment are right up my alley.

Not that I'm in favor of rampant vandalism or theft, but I'd be seriously challenged not to pull all the parts off that set and reuse them for a restoration of the set I have. It doesn't look that bad but it's very heavy !! My set was purchased
from a theater owner in Utica NY. Hauling up the stairs myself was quite a task.
Their second model used the same basic case, but much smaller and lighter motors of different design. These are strictly AC powered 110 v 60 cycle Crocker- Wheeler motors which run at a resonant speed determined with condensers in the base and the later ones use Victor Talking Machine universal electric motors which will run on Ac or DC. Their speed is controlled by a 3 flyball governor.

Again , Great Work !

I lived on Staten Island most of my life, I have seen the wrecks many times and wondered ,where how and why they came to be here. So much history rotting away....

That's kind of creepy. Like an electric chair just waiting for you.

Where are these pictures being taken? They look as though they were taken from the movie 28 Days...
