Your right Motts, i work in a hospital and thats what they are used for. They flush like a regular toilet only they are bigger

I love that crib, shoot, I'd sleep in it!! (that is if I could fit my fat ass in it)

NICE, i like it!!!!!

yes, cool chairs

Same here, every day I come back hoping for more photographs!

stainless steel has a half life of 10,000 years I think

This is the most sinister looking tub I ever saw. If I was the kind that took baths, seeing this would put and end to that and I would definitely switch to showers!

Perfect way to end a week, with a new gallery. Thank you!!

This tuberculosis hospital must have been a lonely place for the patients, away from their families. Another type of "Quarantined" hospital that comes to mind, is the abandoned hospital on the south side of Ellis Island, known as the "Forgotten Ellis Island." (also known as islands 2 and 3) It is a place where they originally detained some immigrants and denied them entry into the United States due to possible diseases, including tuberculosis, between 1892-1954. Very sad. The poor denied souls had a view of the Statue of Liberty, but could not experience Her freedom by entering its shores. About 1% of the immigration population fell into this catagory. The photographer, Steven Wilkes, has captured the hauntingly beautiful ruins of this hospital in a photo book. Mr. Motts, you too, should produce a book featuring your fine photographs.

Cool shot! It's a shame that these old parks are left to decay...at least "StoryLand" and "Santa's Village" still exist.

This looks like a birdcage...for humans! : )

Charity - thanks, I've only been to L.A. once as of now (4/2010), but I hope to visit more places out West in the future. It's tough to justify a trip there rather than somewhere else, as the places I'd like to see are so far apart (lots of driving and $).

I have been down in the South a few times though, and documented a fair amount of New Orleans post-Katrina. Also had a blast seeing parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Still working on trying to get these photos posted of course :-)

Debbie, thanks, I try to think of something about each trip that stood out in my mind, and that usually becomes the title of the gallery.

They built tanks and huge hydraulic presses here, check out the location page for some photos to get a sense of the scale!

hay motts was it hard getting in the building!
