"The act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side." Juxtaposition

hey Java-turn your caps lock OFF...
THe marble is very beautiful, i'd love to look up close at it. In my kitchen we have it, and there fossils in the countertop, I can only imagine what y ou could find in there!

It looks like a swirl on the wall, kind of...

Juxtapositioin?? Definition please!!

what building is this in?

It saddens me to hear another place like this will be leveled for something like an amusement park. As for Wally World (Wal Mart), I am happy to say I haven't shopped in there in over 4 years now.

Invader zim is one of my favorites.GRRRRR has to be the best side kick ever

Grace, mine was typoed for a long time before i caught it, so don't feel to bad.

Is the marble real?

Btw... I typoed my name... how bloody embarassing.

Motts, everytime you post a new gallery, I'm awestruck by your development as an artist. You've matured so greatly from your early shots, and you're continuing to mature. I am really inspired by you. In my own photography, I find you to be a great inspiration and influence. Really. Great job.

These images are beautifully eerie. You are such a talented photographer. I would love to see more information on the camera settings you used.
Best wishes on a wonderful new year from Austin, Texas.

I loved Invader Zim (for those of you who didn't get Motts reference...)

Until we get some books written by staff, however, the full side is still not available to the public.

I will say in the facility where I work that the possibility of severe on-going abuse of any sort is next to impossible. Too many checks and balances, too many people who are trained to spot the signs of abuse, and the fact that every person who lives there gets a body check daily and has multiple notes written on them in the charts by many different staff makes it difficult for abuse to occur without the abuser getting caught quickly. Add to that the fact that all staff have to go through criminal background checks (anyone with any sort of a violent history - spouse abuse, child abuse, or any other "barrier" crimes can not be employed) and are fingerprinted with the fingerprints going to the national data base, etc., and you are as safe here as you are in a regular hospital. You are certainly safer than in a community setting, I am sorry to say, because I personally prefer the freedom of the community settings, but they have a ways to go to assure such comparable checks.

They look like warmers for sheets and blackets.
