I restore old cars, and furniture, and homes for a living. I love how people tell me how I cannot make something desirable again. They go on, and on about how ugly the place, or thing is. When I get done rebuilding, and restoring said items. They can't wait to buy it, or live in it again. I look at what can be, not what bad shape it is. All it takes is, hard work, and money, and you can fix anything.
Looking at pictures of old buildings, and seeing the decay of them. You have to remember, there was once a day, when they were state of the art. And, I am sure, they kept the best care that was available at the time. All hospitals were not torture chambers.
I think they were in boxes. Look closely, and see the remains of the boxes that once held them. Somebody might had come along and pulled the boxes apart, looking for something valuable.
Wow, when I stare at the building, the clouds play a trick on my eyes and look like the are slowly drifting. Love the open window reflecting in the water, and how the wall draws one's perspective into the building, then the building up into the sky. This is a great shot, Motts!
Dude, I went in there with my girlfriend the other night and we heard footsteps coming towards us. It was the creepiest thing, I thought it might have just been a homeless person, but we searched the entire room and there was no one there! It was nuts, the room temperature dropped like 20 degrees while we heard the footsteps and they seemed to have been within 5ft of us! We got scared and ran out of there...
I went with my friends a couple of times. We recorded some strange EVP's. One of which sounded like music playing softly in the background. You have to listen carefully, but there's almost like classical music playing for about 11 seconds. It was the strangest thing.
