Wowwy this scares me to death

motts i love ur work usually but this one and the next one I think are really quite distasteful!

this is such a cool shot

this is so intresting, im from sunderland about 10 mins from the asylum. me and my friend have also been inside, but not as much as you managed, love to do what you do before its knocked down.

That is pretty interesting equipment though too bad this isn't in its original location. We are looking at the part that the doctor would be facing and the patient would be behind the screen. The dose is actually pretty low on this type of system however so is the diagnostic value. This would be situated in a completely dark room and the radiologist would have spend time in this room to get acclimated to the dark. The patient would step onto the location and a faint image would appear. These were very dim. somewhere in the range of 1/1000 the light intensity of normal work environments. Since the 1950's Flouro systems have used a device called an image intensifier which amplifies the light and allows it to be displayed in most enviroments. More recently there have been solid state detectors introduced that replace the intensifier altogther.

Anyone remember where we use to put up the guests when the Ranch was packed and no room left/
Wasn't it at some motel down the road somewhere?

Looks like a giant Transformer to me for some reason.

I swing by this site about once a week, hoping to see something new. Sometimes if you haven't updated yet I swing by the archive and dig. Your pictures frighten me, warm me, give me hope, make me sad, all of it. Before I found your site, I never knew that the decomposition of the past could be so evocative. You are an artist. Just wanted to tell you that I lurk, and enjoy. :)

That right there's a heroin party.

40 oz. to freedom!

Memories of what was. Thank you 4 an incredible site.., and peoples, thanx 4 the chuckels and the friendships. Hank, Eve, Rob, & even U Newman.., THANX111

The ceiling and windows are beautiful! Thanks for pointing out your friend, I did not see him and it really puts the size of this place in perspective.

idk but somewhere in the photo near the grate thing on the right there seems to be sumthing tht looks like boots and legs HOLY SHIT

Gorgeous colors! I love how the stairs look blue.

Is it just me, or does it look like people swimming outside the windows? That would be weird, I know, but every time I look at this, thats what I see. lol
