wow... just wow.
I like the way you stretch your exposures, Mr. Mott, It brings out the detail..
As well as doing strange things to anyone in the frame.
Oh, yes, about the 'experiments' A lot were early attempts at making new treatments for the insane. A lot were basically wrong, and were misunderstood by laymen, thus hey became 'sadistic' and 'torture'. A lot were wrong, and a lot of people were hurt, but the controls we have now, nor the experiences gained from all of these older therapies, would be around except for this barbaric system of experimentation.
Look at the history of the lobotomy...

Amazing once again, Mr.Motts. As always (with my usual loss for better words)... Thank you for taking me there. This has been a beautiful adventure. :) You will never know how much your galleries are appreciated.

I agree with the tunnels extending to the Ohio River. A facility of this size would have probably needed a LOT of supplies in it's early years, before it became self-sufficient, and as anyone who lives in the area would know, winter is a bad time to move anything, with the ice and snow, this combined with the location, I would say that they got a lot of supplies off the river, especially in the colder months.

A gigantic piano stool, you know, the sort that the seat lifts up and you store your sheet music in it.

Ahhhhhhhhh! What happened to all the pretty, clean, well lit hallways! God damn if that don't sneak up on ya!

My wonky brain is telling me to scribble the word REMOTE above that ever so cute and sweet little red sign

Every time I run into this painting, I freak out. I usually delve in Dixmont at night, with a muffled light, and these guys, if they aren't life sized, are damn close...
It always seems to happen after I hear the door banging, a freaky enough experience in itself..

Baby Pink and Baby Blue.... the subliminal message is killing me!

A closer view of the exit from Hell.

Nice play with the light.

Something is odd about those doors... they don't have knobs, but they have locks, but no observation windows...

I take it the sign on the back of the middle door says Bedroom One... which just seems really odd to call it a bedroom.... this picture hurts my brain..... perhaps its the wallpaper subconsciously freaking me out...

Oops, as I was about to say before I got on my soapbox..
Very nice work, Mr Motts, I like the way the light merges in the hall, and the greenery at the end, like an exit from hell.

The paint in the rooms is different from the stuff in the halls, more durable, tho keep the inmates from tearing it off / eating it. I think it was an enamel based paint used in the rooms, and a latex in the corridors.
But I may be backwards on that :)

Actually, it was a bad porno flick... Google "beyond the green door"

*waves back to the one eyed guy* How ya doing, buddy?

Ahhh... is she spanking him?
