We wish there were more like you. It's not fair when the good ones get tarred with the same brush that the destructive ones do, is it?

It's so interesting to see the differing perspectives on this subject. I'm down with graff out in the real world, but it just seems so disrespectful to the patients that were here in such shitty conditions to be painting the place up. I feel as though this doesn't just pertain to graff either; it's the parties and drinking too... I understand if it's part of the culture of Byberry, but it just seems so fucked up to be doing these things in a place where there were some tweaked out people suffering for so many years.

that couldnt be sane as in sane and smith from NY could it? then again....anyone could bust a plain text "sane" handstyle

it's so frustrating being a young person with a passion for exploring these locations. whenever i go to these places, i never break windows to get in, never paint, don't even move shit around. yet security still perceives all young people as juvenile delinquents. *sigh*

My god its benn years sense me , enemy, Yummy, thorn, harm, and thrash have been in there.

All that looks like to me is Untouched teritory.

Light piercing the darkness...great shot!

Awesome photo- great effect.

Looks like a great movie poster for a horror film.

That is one amazing spiral staircase! I imagine would would get dizzy going down that more than a few times a day!

Wow- that is pretty cool.

It's an O2 tank, and an old one, to boot. We now have plastic lever's ("keys" we call them in the ER) to switch the top of the tank to "open" the O2, so to speak.

Fantastic shot!

wonderful picture!

i love the "howdy" sticker. marvellous.
