i grew up right next door( i mean right next door ! next to the horse stable located on Turkey Hollow Rd., I went to there daycare) and for evey family gathering we ever had when i was a kid a inmate or two would break free from waht ever it was they were doing and come and try to join our family bbqs. My whole family worked at the facilty starting with my greatgrandma& her son (who stared at the age of 8 takeing care of other boys his age to my mother who didnt start till 1980. i love the idea of the place "The Idea" I love the buildings and that it was a selfsufficent community. i always thought it was a beautfil place when you look past all th horribal things the residents had to face i always dreamed of captureing the views of letcworth i grew up with and never had the abilty to do so. I do beleve that i think more of the place the some other local folk and i am glad to see a few others fell the same. a few of the out here took photo but dont really have the same feels as some othrs i like your photos. L ove letchworth.

Awesome contrast. But.... Did you make a wish?

I like the vines there. It lends to the neglected emotions of the building.

yea halloween is deffinatly not a good night i heard that sundays are the best nights.. and weekdays because they think that kids go late on weekends

It looks like an aspirator. It can be used in surgery to help 'vaccuum' up blood from a working site.
But seeing that this may have been a Tuberculosis Sanitarium. I would be more prone to go with the ideas of helping to aspirate fluid from the lungs.

dear sir,
i came to look at pictures of Dixmont hospital (long story) and found your website, i believe i have fallen for your photography! i have been here hours ... my rear is numb, and i believe my hounds are peeved because i am 2 hours past dinner.... i will return. Beautiful work!

young enough to be in a stroller, yet old enough to be deemed "insane"....

it does look like someone peeking around the corner....

what is the blue lighting effect at the far end?

haunting

the color contrast between the walls and rusted ceiling is visually arresting! i love this one.

beautiful... and sad, it is like the view a person would have before jumping
