Another great study in contrasting lines and form...and the title is perfect.

Wicked sweet. The B&W is just perfect for the reaching "arms" of the vines.

I love the colors here, and the simplicity of the rectangle shapes contrasted with the rough edge on the bottom of the photo. Actually, it's a great study of contrasts overall, both of color and shape.

That is so awesome...inspiration for a horror story!

I think if it were real, (A) it would likely have been quickly painted over or cleaned up by the staff after being noted in the patient's files.

And (B) writing on a wall doesn't seem to be a very effective way of conveying a message like that; the only people who'd probably see it would be staff.

Then again, without seeing the message in context (like which room it was in, or the presence of the other messages that Motts says he saw), it's difficult for me to figure it out.

I love this...it looks frosted.

There's another word under JERRY, looks like H???NS, his last name.

Awesome shots!

Truly remarkable photos, Motts! Too many to comment on. Love the theater and gym but this last one gets the gold medal. You've been here a few times, right? Didn't you get spotlighted by the cop copter here? Don't answer that. I'm sure that case is still pending. The canoe--I assume you ditched it in the growth?

I love this kind of stuff as opposed to the writings on the walls. Anyone at anytime could have written all that. It's nice to believe it's authentic to a time frame but more than likely it's not. These cans on the other hand whisper out "I've been here since the last human hands put me here. Ain't I cool?!?"

Controls for what??

Yes!!!! North Brother island!!!! WooHoo!
I hoped you'd get here some day.

That is so so Sad.

is this an HDR?
