I have been a fan for years, and this gallery is amazing, the pictures are outstanding. I can't quite articulate what makes these photographs so different from all the rest, but they have a striking surreal aspect that I have not seen in your prior work. Thank so much for sharing your gift, and I hope one day to be able to see your photographs published.

you go but and sun :D haha

Oh my gosh. That is very creepy. It is still a good shot though

Um. Interesting shot. @VickyV, what is a Banksy?

I crack up every time I come to this shot. This is an all time classic.

Awww, thanks! :) I'll keep them to a minimum from now on, lol!

Hmmm, it would be easy for Flat Stanley to explore, wouldn't it? Haha!

I worked at a hospital that had an "Easy Street" set up. They used it a lot for physical therpy and what not. There was a bus stop, store fronts and a diner set up. As far as I know it is still in use.

Yeah...it makes you think doesn't it Jackie? I wonder if there were different levels of "disabled" children in this facility, as in some that weren't as "helpless" as others that may have had some serious behavior problems, making these kind of cards necessary.

Whew that was a LONG sentence. I need to go rest my fingers now...and read my daughter's Highlights magazine now. :D

Hey Kathy--thanks for that! Poor Poor Stanley...

I guess being flat has its advantages...you can slip through VERY thin cracks to get away from someone...

I don't mind your tangents Kathy...Tangent away. :)

OMG JackieB--you are right lol!

What a good eye you have. :) I didn't even notice that.

Yeah--I wonder what that film was about...

"Entitled Hospital for Sick Children - Retardation Film Series."

That doesn't sound like a pleasant kind of film, that is for sure...

LOL Jackie--my thoughts exactly.

Bllleeech!!

It looks like SOMETHING exploded...I wouldn't want to know what (if that were true) though.

The rumors about this place are incredible. No, there is no autopsy room. The rooms upstairs from the morgue with the white slab tables were for washing and bathing the patients. When patients died, they were kept in the morgue freezers until they could be picked up by the family or shipped to Rhode Island Hospital for autopsy. They weren't dumped in the swamp. They weren't cremated or burned on a stone in the woods. There was no crematorium. The building with the smoke stack was the power plant and fire station, NOT a crematorium.

The pool and the recreation buildings have been renovated and are now apart of the Exeter Job Corps Academy, a vocational school. You have to drive past the Job Corps Academy to get to Ladd Center and if their security sees you, they will call the state police. There is also a drug rehab and detox house near the Fogarty hospital and if the staff sees you, they will also call the police. A few of the small buildings behind the power plant (including the old pharmacy) are still in use and the power plant/fire station is armed with a burglar alarm system.
