Such a weird but cool angle, I couldn't tell if you were looking up, down or ahead in this picture! But then I read the paragraph under the photo...

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays Mr Motts.
Thank you for another wonderful set of photos and for all the amazing galleries you have given us in 2009, really look forward to what is to come in 2010. It is such a same these beautiful buildings are left to rack and ruin and even to hear they have been reduced to rubble, it is truely a crime. Thanks to you for capturing their beauty so wonderfully for all time, you are a stunningly talented photographer.
Happy New Year from England.

WOW ! I In the fall of 1983 through much of 1984, a friend & i LIVED at the Sterling. one bed w/ a "taco effect" mattress......WHEEEEE! Got a new double mattress. Still have pictures of the room, view out the window. Knew some nice folks there.Aad often wonder where they are. !n the early *80s the feel was one of low rent housing . The was a small club downstairs near the lobby & a cafe where I often had WONDERFUL breakfasts.I have had dreams I was back there. I can tell a lot of people hold great affection for the Sterling & yes ,we all loved that lobby. It was a'draw' then ..People came in just to show it to visitors from out of area..Must check the forum out . Just might find some references to that period. SO GLAD YOU FOUND AN ENTRY WAY!!!!!!!!i i CAN ENJOY THE Sterling here in Portland, OR

In your introduction you talked about becoming dizzy because of the fumes, i hope you are ok here and not calling 911. At the same time it kind of gives us a glimpse into your world, the photo genius, and his tripod!

I am a labor and delivery nurse and you get to see ALOT of funky stuff like this. I work nights at a small hospital. Sometimes you have to go to pathology with a specimen, such as a placenta or even a fetus. Well, the pathology fridge is actually a regular old Fridgidaire. Sometimes you have to move specimens around to make room for yours. My colleague had warned me that there could be an arm or leg in there wrapped in plastic that I would have to move.

Merry Christmas Motts, Iam so thankfull that someone such as yourself has the forethought to photograph these beautiful old buildings before they are destroyed to make way for what? Parking lots?

Thanks Mr. Motts so much for the seasonal present! Everyone one of these photos stunning! Interesting comment on the lack of synagogues, and being locked down tight. Not surprising really. However, makes one wonder about the other abandoned religious architectural structures yet unexplored in the US alone. Happy Holiday’s to you Mr. Motts. Rock On!
