This photo makes me sadder than any other I have seen on this site. Not so much because of what it shows (it was typical for public facilities of the times, public health/hygiene more important than personal privacy, emphasis on expediency and efficiency due to staff and monetary shortages) but because it confirms what my former client told me. The communication was rudimentary, non-verbal, fragmented, difficult to interpret...but it was the TRUTH. What other truths have clients tried so desperately to communicate with anyone who would listen, with ME, and I have been unable to understand or have not believed???
I am truly saddened and sorry to hear from kids who were at Gaebler having such horrible memories of the place...I have thought of Gaebler- and my time working there- so many times over the years. I think about all the kids I knew, and wonder and hope that they are happy and doing well in life. I do also want to say that I would hope that anyone who remembered me would count me as one of the "caring staff"... I was fresh out of college and very naive, but I truly did care about the kids, and so did others I worked with. I hope that those kids who were there can "make peace" with it and have a happy life....

Something very inviting, yet foreboding about this shot. I love the colors of the ivy contrasting with the dull colors of the interior.

The colors & shadows are working very well together in this shot.
