That's what makes us all have our own personalities. Not 2 people are alike; everyone has their own opinions. Imagine if everyone had the same thoughts and opinions? Express what you feel but leave the judging up tp God. As far as Sandy Ann, I think alot of people many many years ago were probably misdiagnosed and ended up in institutions over minor things that could be remedied today.
I just want to say that I've seen every picture there is to see in this entire sight and have spent literally hours reading the comments following each one. I've kept my comments, questions, and critiques inside for so long and when I saw this series I was overcome with so much emotion.
I actually am writing a book about a girl in a mental hospital and had already starting writing it before I discovered this site. So, to get in the "mood" before I write, I look through this site, especially Cupid's Demise. I know what it's like to feel like her. All the eerie images of the psych wards that you guys commented on being "scary" I have seen and often have nightmares. Writing this book is my only way to let it all out and share it. I need to.
I just want to tell you Motts that I've looked through many, many abandoned asylum galleries besides yours and personally I like yours best. I wish I would've put more input to this site when I spent my time going through the site slowly on a 56k modem (talk about dedication) but I was always to lazy and worried about rambling on to much and boring everyone else (like I'm probably doing now), but you have put so many wonderful photos in here that I just had to say something. So in replace of the comments I probably would've put on every page, I've breifly compiled it into this long ass corny rambling. Thank you. ^_^
Thank you for writing your thoughts Ladyhawke... I did give Candace direction on what to do in each shot, and I had some specific ideas on what I wanted some shots to look like or convey, some of it was spur of the moment though. I gave her emotions and poses, although when I try my hand at this again I hope to be more prepared in which direction I want to take the shoot.
I can't even use the word "abnormal" in a sentence any more without breaking down into some serious giggling - not a good thing for a clinical psychologist. :-(
its like the interior of this building is snakelike. the paint is peeling like the skin thats that of a snakes long piosonous body. sheding its old life and prepairing itself for its next.
In the thumbnail it looked like there was a cross on the door instead of this diamond, so I thought this is what happens when angels forget their keys and can't get back into Heaven.
Last resort is knocking on Heaven's door and having to wait til someone lets you back in.
