Scary Floor! Great colors!

Reminds me oif that one scary Pennhurst Room!

Having a Bad Hair Day? It just might be your Pillow!!

Looks like theres a design on the boarded up windows? Cool pic by the way!

I agree with Lynne, its a great shot, especially with the rain . It does have a depressing feel to it though... the angle you took the picture at gives us an idea of what a patient may have viewed out that window on a rainy dismal day....

It looks like some funhouse trick.

That paint peeling looks surreal.

Oh my sweet innocent, you are so wrong! Anyone intact enough to play Bingo is VERY clear about how many balls are there and which ones are missing. Don't NEVER be messin' with someone's Bingo if you don't want your hindquarters kicked, and 'specially not little old ladies! 8`-)

Thanks, everything on here is digital; this was taken with a 300D Rebel. I do levels and contrast work on many photos.

Mr. Motts, I want to thank you for taking this picture. It really reflects how I feel right now, and I love it. Thank you.

That is the posterchild shot of why these places can be so dangerous.
I absolutely love it. Great job, Motts.

I am really impressed by this shot, if I may ask, what kind of camera do you use to take these photos? Triditional 35mm film? or completely digital and post processed in Photoshop? I ask this, cos many of the B&W shots you've taken are amazing and have a great amount of detail with a great contrast balance. (something I'm still struggling with. Most of mine that I have takien in B&W (with film) have too much contrast and the image is washed out or what I take on my digital but just doesn't turn out as good as a triditional film camera can be.

Awesome shot overall :)

Very depressing indeed.

I am enjoying this shot. The way the sunlight is stretching around the corner really gets to me.

Not I, But i do know one thing about it.

I love it !
