I second what Tim said here...you could seriously do photo shoots for musicians and stuff...granted of course you would enjoy doing that kind of thing. But it could boost your fundings for the book...*cough*hack*cough* teehee

Certainly the best one - has a certain disturbing quality to it , given Candances' demeanour blended with the scratched walls, (not to mention the original bed used by a former patient) the image has such a gritty, stark setting which creates a scene of her in solitude and instability. On another level, her wings - symbolising an angelic quality, although seemingly challenged, have a curious interplay with the moon and stars painted on the door...

I cannot comment on any one individual photo in this gallery. It's more like reading a book to me ... a complete story of strength, sadness, desparation and lost hope.

Thank you very much, Motts, for delving into a new way of showing off a fabulous Urban Ruin.

Candace, more than thanks to you for freezing your ass off and being the beautiful, tragic person you've portrayed in this set. I'm awestruck by your ability to convey raw emotion without saying a word.

Dash, thanks deserved to you as well for being the unseen.

Wow ... just ... .wow.

I think having someone alive in these makes these buildings more alive, in a cosmic sort of way.

She is so perfect for this gallery. She looks innocent, yet (dare I say gothic). I'm sure I'll hear about it, but I'll stick by my comment.

She is so photogenic. I am jealous.
