I'LL give you some buttons, Missy! >:-(

Interesting thing about curtains - at work a few weeks back several of us were touring through some of the buildings in the old section of campus that is closed down and was last used in the late 70s or early 80s (but built between 1910 and 1914). All of the basement rooms looked like nightmare alley with the peeling paint and falling ceilings, but those durned curtains looked pretty good every where we went. Must be something in that starch. ;-)

Ugh...is that floor covered with muck? I can't even imagine the smell. However, I love the angle you took this at...the lockers all messed up and such.

Ah hah! My parents were just talking about these machines the other day...my mom was saying she always loved the smell of the ink. I was wondering what these things looked like!

Talk about a picture from a nightmare! I'm surprised I haven't had one yet where I'm falling through gaping holes in the floor of a building I'm exploring. Looking at these gives me that weird feeling in my feet...that loss of blood or whatever, when you're standing on the edge of something way up high and could fall. I would be shaking if I had to walk that hallway!

Great shot! Motts, did you tie back the curtains all perfect like that, or were they just like that? The contrast is great - all around, things falling apart, and yet the curtains are neatly tied back.

haha wow man I would have freaked walking into that room and that being there.

It looks like a reflection from the building facing this window to me.
