My shoe! That's where I left it...been looking for it for a year now...eh, shit, I think I just threw away the other one last week. Dammit.

And this just looks like something out of a Terry Gilliam film

I'm an artist, but I don't know much about photography. I just know a good picture when I see one. I don't know what kind of lens you use, but the angles of this picture is so beautifully bazaar! All the diagonals in perspective makes it amazingly unsettling! You manage to make the viewer slightly dizzy with a still shot.

Either that, or I'm drunk...Great pic, once again Motts!

Adam Sandler - "Her name is going to be Julia Gulia?"

It does look like it'd be a Pink Floyd album cover!

Remember when Arnold shot the liquid villain in the face with a shotgun in Terminator 2?!

I've said it before on that I never had a problem with graffiti. Graffiti and urban exploration will always go hand in hand and I just see graffiti as just part of the beautiful decay...a chapter in the story of decay and ghosts past...but I have to agree this time that the tags are unfortunate in this picture. The juxtaposition of graffiti and decay doesn't work here.

I still can't get over how clean this place is! With the exception of the paint peeling on the left wall this room doesn't even look abandoned. It Just looks messy like the nuns or whoever that had the cleaning detail were on strike that week.

My pot dealer busted one of those out to sell me a gram once! Just kidding of course. Mostly.

There is a mark on the center stud (or whatever the vertical wood trim piece would be called...I'm far from a carpenter!) that looks as if could have somehow held a mirror once.

No kidding...this place is the cleanest place I've ever seen you take pictures of! Just glancing over the thumbnails I was thinking this gallery looked more like you got the wrong address and accidentally broke into a functioning business on a wednesday night! How did you handle heading home that day without being covered in dirt and rust?!

The ceiling looks itchy to me...i don't mean it makes me itchy, I mean it looks like the building has a rash and it's itchy itself. Poor thing.

And I've decided from watching too much 'How It's Made' that anything that does something but doesn't have a name is called a "Hopper"!

Wow! What an amazing picture! With all the different angles and lines involved here, the arches and graffiti, it's like an urban MC Escher drawing or something. And as a fan of graffiti art and artist myself, I support ya Jolene. Right or wrong, graffiti writers and urban exploration will always go hand in hand. I find the beauty in the decay but also see the graffiti as part of the story...a chapter of the history of that decay.

I wonder who LISA is? Wonder if it was her that wrote her name on the pillars all the way up in the right corner, or if it was a boyfriend (or girlfriend of course) that climbed out on the ledge 4 times for that. Glad her name wasn't Esmeralda or something!
