I bet the contractor who built that place did some work on my house too... lol

wow a recent one

Kay, this may sound kinda kooky but I really love shots of old, derelict swimming pools and baths, like the Sutros in San Francisco....Motts, Do you care to photograph that kinda thing? I hate to even ask because your present galleries could not get any more amazing but I just have to ask! I've checked about 10 other galleries but they just frustruate me becasue they're just not set up like Opacity........!

Lynne, it's so heartening to have a seer of the truth. I hope one day you run for office, I'd be the first to vote for you. Keep up the good work girl.

My goodness, a replica of an old English medeviel manse fireplace going back to the tudor era. My guess it was never functional and wasn't built to be so. It's so grand, I just can't figure out what it symbolized. Is it that one was entering a castle , a warm enviorment inviting in the lost souls the times? The workmanship is impressive, but ask youselves, what the hell was it for. Feedback be good.

This is a great series of photos. I am an architect and also into Studebaker trucks and also have an brand new art gallery in Berkeley, CA. If the photyographer of these shots is interested, perhaps we can have a show in our gallery. If interested, let me know at XXXXXXinfo@transmissions-gallery.comXXXXXX (remove X's)

It had class, it had quality, it had imagination, workmanship. It wasn't because they just needed to whip up a warhouse for the retarded or the mentally ill. There was forethought and an idea that they had at the time. To maintain the dignity of the charges who were entering such an unknown. The marble, the glass, big time class and quality.

Well done pic. One can picture the newly weds decending the grand staircase.

I take all my pictures through open windows :)

Oh, definitely! Without a doubt! Probably the most credible story I have seen yet about this place! That is absolutely true and you can take that one to the bank!

Well, maybe the eye bank . . . . .

As far as people mating with animals, well, we do happen to have an expert on that who writes in to this very site, if he's not too shy to tell us about it. :-)

Exactly! The facility where I currently work didn't even have air conditioning until the 1970s. And it STILL doesn't work all the time. ;-)

Where have you been, young man? >:-(

I was missin' you! 8`-(

Is it true that they took this guys eye out and put a camera in ther to see if he could see? My friend went there and got records from patients in there. He even said that they tried to mate the people with animals. I've been really interested in this place since he told me, too bad they are wrecking it.

I was thinking how cool this would have been if Motts had posted this picture upside down and not told us, we'd all be making all kind of strange comments

Sorry, guys and girls, I havent been getting much computer time at home, too much competition with my wife and my kid
