So stunningly beautiful. I can't tell you what beautiful old cemetaries do to me, they're so peaceful. Thank you, Mr. Motts.

Photos taken during Mardi Gras this year? It seemed like New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin had felt that the population displaced by the flood was not welcome to come back. The status and use of FEMA funding and reconstruction money remains a contention to this day that I'm aware. It seems that the general conditions existing before the flood, perhaps the lack of flood insurance on private homes, combined with the attitudes of local officials, had all come together to provide a conclusion. Do nothing for years and wait for things to blow over.

No, they didn't work at all. One of the many gadgets of the atomic age that became indicative of striving for technology without accomplishing much in and of themselves. Vintage objets d'art.

Lol I'm completely hooked and grateful as well. I've done this sort of photography here in my home city for years, at first as personal archival work, refusing to let history crumble around me simply because " Washington didn't sleep wherever". Turns out my work is some of the only surviving imagery of many buildings and sites around here, and is slowly gaining interest. I adore your eye, Mr. Motts. Again, thankyou for what you do, and nice to meet y'all.

Interesting. There needs to be a program instituted for the sale of this surplus. These things could be retooled and reused for those in need who don't even qualify for Medicare/Medicaid and thus fall through the cracks.

Check out vintage electrical and medical salvage sites online, Shawn. Lots of great buys to be found. And thrift shops. When they don't know what they've got, you can get things for pittance. I speak from much experience. :)

That institutional-grade, I'm drowning in the ocean blue again... unsettling to say the least... I love the color, but how on Earth did people settle on the idea way back when that it was a calming surround for the mentally ill?
