This is one of the most striking photos I've found on this site so far. The lighting and the contrast of order and decay are beautiful.
And speaking of mold being dangerous: the 18-year-old son of a co-worker died from spreading moldy hay around the foundations of his home to insulate it during the winter. The mold destroyed his lungs.
Hmm, well, I guess I wouldn't really call Byberry beautiful. Atleast, not in the sense that I would say many of the Victorian assylums were. It certainly has its own charm, but in a far more stark, sterile, utilitarian kind of way.
Yeah, I've had many a night where the world looked this way. But anyway, of your black and white stuff that I've seen, I like this one the best. Funny how some of the best stuff comes from mistakes. The first time I used my newest camera I was taking photographs in an abandoned hotel and they all came out with a yellow tint and quite grainy. It was a very interesting look, but I'd never be able to duplicate it again on purpose. In the words of Bob Ross, "We don't have mistakes in our world. In our world, we only have 'happy accidents.'"
You know, I generally hate vandalism with a passion, but I don't mind it in this picture for some reason. To be honest, it reminds me of a carnival. I don't know why.
yo i live like 2 minutes from this place but anyways, i have heard many stories from people who have been here and they said they "heard things" is it true ??
BTW- maddd props to the photographer.
The pill bottle room is a rather popular area of the complex and people keep setting fires there because the room is already burned out. Another fire isn't really going to make much of a difference, unless its hot enough to weaken the buildings structural integrity.
