I just wanted to say I really love the story about the underground ballroom. It's written really well. You should write a collection of short stories or something, Motts, because you describe things in amazing detail. Also, your adventures are really exciting to read about.

I love the shallow depth of field and the fact that the center line isn't perfectly vertical. This is surprisingly an emotionally evocative piece. But, I suppose it would be in a mortuary.

This is such a beautiful, yet simple shot. The color of the label is so interesting especially compared to the minimalist colors and shapes of the other objects. Did you manipulate the objects in the scene or were they as is? Because the set up is pretty much perfect.

This reminds me of some of your older work. Very rich and somewhat disorienting. It plays with perspective.

One thing I have noticed, your most recent postings haven't been done at night. I kind of miss the mystery and excitement you capture in your night shots. I guess you really don't have the liberty in another country though. :)

Oddly enough, I find this shot very disorienting, but I can't help but keep staring at it. Really lovely. Of course, as always, I am a sucker for your black and whites.

Haha! You totally answered my unasked question. I was wondering if you used any filters to get these colors, or if you photoshopped them afterward. <3

I always love your shots of doors and doorways. You always capture them in such a mysterious and creepy light. These actually remind me of the wooden morgue doors at Letchworth Village.

Does the fact that this facility has a well documented history and is pretty much open to the public turn you off a bit, Motts? Or is it refreshing to actually go into a building and not have an anxiety attack that you might get caught?

This reminds me of one of the really early galleries you had posted on the site. Is it the same place? It's still extremely beautiful and interesting.

Motts, is this infrared with post color adjustment in photoshop? Or what? How'd you get the orange?

we were in this room last nyt and we found some dead mice to what it lukd 2 b , no1 dared go 2 close tho it kinda lukd like fingers

i go here reguraly , the ballroom is now open, but people have wrecked it all and pulled the snowflake and the discoball dwn! the best time to go is at night well funny when theres other ppl there n u get scared

Motts, I was wondering if you preferred the American asylums and abandoned buildings to the European asylums and abandoned buildings?
Though the exterior of the Brit buildings are much more superior in architecture, it seems the interior of the American buildings have much more equipment and their original interiors. The interior of the American ones seem more desolate because there's so much stuff left over.

That cross is amazing. It's like something you'd steal in Tomb Raider. :D

Way cool. I wish you could have spent more time inside. BTW, I wanted to see a picture of the cross, but the link was moved and I didn't know on which site I could find it.
