Insulting Johnny Depp? *le gasp* Oh, the blasphemy! Actually, what happened was he was misquoted...he did not "bash" the US, he simply said that it is like a "young puppy" compared to many other countries...which is entirely true. He even personally contacted some people that were angry and explained the mistake and they understood. Yes, obviously I am a big fan, but I've read many different articles on this!

I really hope that x-ray wasn't put their while the hospital was open.....if not, its a bit wierd that they left these lying around when it closed. Great shot, i like the lighting too

I went there last week. The rustwater is still there. no cup... but a decaying battery. There were some stairs that lead to a lower level right near the morgue. but when we went, it was raining really hard and there had been a 10 day rain shower that flooded it up to our knees... Kind of funny. my friend Aaron and Julia and I didn't want to go into the water. Aaron and I look at eachother and I said "Fuck that" And the girl Julia we were with actually went into the water with no shoes on. We got it all on film, but the lighting was bad, all we saw was a really long hallway with a freaky cage on one side and another hallway on the other. It looked freakier since it was under 3 feet of water. I really want to go back with Trashbags.
I've wondered after looking at many of the photo's from many different State Hospitals if these deterioration of paints on the walls and stuff have something to do with the place in general. Many of the houses old houses I've seen the paint decomposition isn't that bad.

I've admired a lot of your galleries from afar at my computer desk but this gallery takes the cake, Motts.

The changes in colors, in upkeep, even all the different types of rooms at Linton State Hospital just fascinate me. It is almost as if a bunch of different galleries were rolled into one-yet they manage to keep the same feel.
Another place I'd like to visit ahh the failures in the development of the medical field. But without failure there can be no progress for the better so to say.

Even after checking out your link I'm going to be thinking of Get Fuzzy's Bucky the cat all night.

I wonder what his x-ray looks like?

Jane and Lynne. Wonderful posts. Having worked with developmentally disabled teens I can agree so much. And there are some who do better on the 'inside' than the 'outside'. Someday, I hope, society will find the correct balance. They haven't yet but I give humanity hope.

Correction.... I have one that I have to make. Cremains is short for Cremated Remains.
The blast furnace used is a crematorium. I was partly wront, and needed to edit that, or it would bother me.
