It wouldn't be a Motts gallery without the classic and legendary lone chair shot. This one is one of your best.

Yes, wanderer, it was for bodies. That appears to be the morgue.

I always enjoy when a new gallery is posted; I check every day.

Thank you for the wonderful gallery, Motts! I look forward to the next one. :-)

Absolutely stunning. I'd love this to be a wallpaper.

Ah, the classic lone chair shot. It's not quite a Motts gallery without one. Lovely.

It's not an Underwood typewriter on the right, unless it's a more recent model, because a Google image search for "Underwood typewriter" doesn't return any that resemble the one in the picture. Unlike the Remington, the name is not clearly visible.

As for the five keys at the top, I asked my mother what they could be, as she used to use typewriters back in the day, and she said they were probably a decimal mark, then the numbers 1, 10, 100, and 1,000.

BKW — I don't think Motts "sets up" shots, or at least I've never seen him say that he does. I think he just photographs things and scenes as he finds them. The doors might have already been like that when Motts was there.

I think we can count the IQ of the person who did all that on one hand and still have fingers left over. "Stupid people be stupid," as my grandmother liked to say.

Nothing in my old grammar school looked that nice. I'm kind of jealous that it didn't.

Gorgeous. I love all the detail around the stage itself, including that doodad at the top in the middle.

Oh, I loved high school and rather hated grammar school. At least high school challenged me academically. When you're reading at a 5th grade level in 2nd grade, you get bored easily.

A new gallery! I love the blues they used on the walls and trim here. In its heyday, I bet it looked very calming and peaceful, even if the students might have been anything but. LOL
