This shot reminds me of the Video to Metalica's song Unforgiven. When you are locked away forever, you are truly unforgiven in some way. Even the angels.

i grew up in Northampton, and this place was, and still is, although it has been demolished recently, an extremity of my soul, of my being, here, in this place. a few years ago, i took some pictures of the place myself. toy polaroids. (they're lovely!) i wanted to say that this gallery of photos called "overcast" are so lovely. they feel to me like this phantom extremity which has been recently amputated from my landscape...capture the beauty of this misled complex.

I remember being in the theater as a student in psychology. We observed patient interviews by the psychiatrists and noted the patients' behavior and responses. Seems so long ago now.

It's no longer there ,is it???? Such a shame to destroy these buildings. Many of the buildings photographed and displayed on this site have since been demolished. I could never travel that far to visit one of the buildings, so the photos are my visit. Thanks to Motts, we still have them to view. The architecture is so beautiful and awsome. The big problem in the US is destruction of the buildings that were built on the beautiful revival schemes and replacing them with partical board, cookie cutter housing. Soon we will have no architectural history! Greed and near sightedness drive that destruction!
