yes I remember you now, John. I remember the kim chick as well. What do you do now? hope you are well and successful! I hate that places like that made kids unable to move on because in some ways they are still there and have lost personal pride or feel shame about it...I had a friend who killed himself at 22 because the lack of pride and low self esteem made him sink into a depression that he could never get out off...lost a lot off friends who went through the DSS nightmare of the 80's...that organization kept me till I was 17 then put me into an apartment in my senior year, it is amazing I did not kill myself by accident by party! I wish I could go back and tell those kids in there how little all that meant to the reality of the long term that would be their lives. How that seemingly mighty building would fall into disuse and disrepair and we would go on. And how those little people that seemed so powerful would be revealed as low paid lackies on a power trip for want of better work...that this too would come to pass for all of us and to just smile and bide our time
Me again i just want to explain myself and my comment,what i mean is of the thousands of photos of yours i've seen and how ever many comments ,of which i read all ,noone has ever ever said what a lousy shot or this could have been better if you did this.....do you wonder when someone will or have i just opened the biggest can of worms this site has ever seen.?Hey everyone i love Motts so before you send the boys around to break my legs please just let me have my say i'm just wondering what Motts thinks.:}
Nice work as usual Motts,do you get sick of everyone saying good stuff about you,i know you deserve it your my favorite photographer by far,but i just wonder are you sick of us all gushing over your work and you or is it all good.dg...
Hey Motts,your kinda how i pictured you.I,m not gay but i think due to your photos i have a non-sexual crush on you. And judging by the comments i've read over the last three days i'm not the only one. Keep up the great work,ps don't fear me i'm a pretty cool guy. DG.ps if i do say so myself.:}
Thanks again Mott's, it was good that you befriended the caretaker and his family. Sorry to learn he passed away, I bet he had many more facts and secrets about this cool place.
I tried using an online translator...
I can't quite get it, but I think it is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about there being more failure in life for not trying.
Quite a combination of textures with the unusual floor AND unusual ceiling. The walls almost look like they have murals on ;em.... I think I might have called this one "Vortex". Very cool.
