endeed, the banisters are beautiful, but they seem to b somehow outta place.u're more likely to find something like that in a mansion than in an asylum

the light at the end of the hallway combined with the pitch black darkness on the sides makes me feel like some unexplainable force is drawing me back, sucking the life out of me.it's as if the hallway were the eye of a dieing giant,breathing his last breath(damn, never knew i could b so poetic :)

They are supposed to destroy all records, including those left behind by patients a/k/a Kim Carnes albums.

At least we all agree that it ~is~ a toaster, and not some kind of light fixture or soap dispencer.

U need a toaster for your Pop-Tarts!!!

I'd love to, but it's quite difficult to find photos of some institutions, especially from the inside. Also being one who travels around and photographs a different location every weekend, I don't have much time to get in contact with historians and other people in charge, getting the rights to reproduce the photographs, etc. I do have a few interesting items showing these places in their prime, again it's a matter of time to work them into the website...

There's a chair in the corner.

Yep, weasel, we want Motts to do calendars and/or coffee table books on lonely chair and hallway shots, as well. One on castles would be grand, too!

it makes me feel like somebody/something is following me & i'm about to tip over, but once i fall i'm not going to b able to get up...or maybe i'm just beeing psychotic...

HeHeHe!!! Used to have a cat named Snazzy! Just made me laugh!

Thanks Antti. Ships of any kind fascinate me.

Motts,
Would it be difficult to add some before pictures to show people what some of these places used to look like.
I am sure they would be few but what there is may help some of us understand better what we are looking at.
There is a before and after picture of an autopsy table (i forget where exactly ) that really shows a stark contrast between then and now.

what is that very dark spot in the lower right corner?it can't b only shade, can it?

Through The Lense . At the company i currenty work for, they had an employee who got caught in a 100 ton stamping press about 18 years ago, from what my co-workers who were there told me, it was messy enough.

this room looks like something u'd see at the end of a horror movie.u know,after the "evil forces" have been defeated & everything just calms down...
