All right, I'm sorry to bring the quality of the whole conversation down, but...it reminds me of a Donkey Kong level. Or Donkey Kong Country. The industrial part.
It's the angle that captures the full effect of this shot. The solemnity of a church, a minds eye of what was and a history unto it's self in one quick photo. You have done your craft well.
This photo again reminds me of how haunted I was and how I have carried this haunting all of my life. It's the sadness, the overwhelming statement of days gone by and days nevermore. It's has captured the a moment in time and space. It never can be photographed again. Nice shot Motts.
I currently work on a psych unit (inpatient). We have similar key operated junction boxes outside of patient rooms. Our use is to turn off an alarm which is activated by a panic button in the room. We typically don't need to use the panic button but often the patients press the buttons because they are a shiny red and they assume that the button is a light switch.
This is so disturbing! An older inmate had to have drawn these things--either that or someone working real hard to become an inmate. All of the paintings in this play room from hell are scary but this one is above and beyond all hope of reason.
First of all why are all the normal kids looking away from the viewer? Doesn't that seem strange?
Secondly why is the girl in the wheelchair hidden in the back and so very faded out? It's like she's a ghost. If someone else hadn't mentioned her I wouldn't have seen her.
Finally what the hell was wrong with the person who drew this? Look at the eyes, they are non-exsistant; just gaping black holes where the eyes should be.
Whoever painted these needed to get their head checked ASAP.
Those poor children in this room--I bet there was a high suicide rate among them as they got older.
Okay there is something definitely amiss here. Look at the painting: why does that horse appear to being savagely attacked by that lion as the elephant looks on gleefully?
Whoever drew these things DID NOT like children.
Who the hell drew that thing? Okay maybe it was supposed to be a ginerbread house--I'm sure that is exactly what the artist told the supervisors that's what he was drawing but obviously some of thing was done with malicious intentions. That thing looks WAY too much like a monster to appear to be anything else.
Seriously I think we had a bit of a disguntled artist here. Maybe they didn't pay him (or her) enough money so artist went on a pianting rampage; punishing the kids for something that was the employers fault.
What a pleasant and uplifting thought, huh?
