Hi andrea, I'm not sure what you're talking about but let me know if I can help in any way!

Hi andrea, thanks! I don't have that information for each photo unfortunately, but it was taken with a Canon 5D with an exposure of about 10 minutes around F8.

ps..what i meant by i didn't know was before you asked me.
i am not sure what you saw... but i am very respectful. that is all.
i admire your work.

i stopped the 1st time you asked. i didn't know...but i never would go against what is asked -or once i know.

Great! I was wondering if you have a place where you tell what camera you use for each photo- and the settings etc. ?

Brilliant captures of "what is in" the word/s below.
As always - exceptional photography.

What happened to previous comment taken down?

Beautiful and if in right hands could be re-used for any purpose. In Dedham MA they did old prison into condos when they built new one in between 2 parts of rte. 128! Beautiful and went for a high price, well built stone not like junk for $500k for crap near RR and tons of traffic. Lots of unused buildings in state w/great architecture could be repurposed. They say insulation but then politians buy it for nothing knock them down and pu up $1,000,000 mansions a waste.

Although I havn't worked their for so many years , and long sweot up in the dust bin of history, I never can forget. I burned in memories and images of every ward , every door that I experienced in my fourteen. Going back to Opacity again and again, it repeats itself and I fee; that I have never left, and I havn't even If I wanted to. It stirs feelings in the very heart of me that only Opacity can conjure up. I love you guys, may you last forever, and ever, and ever, and ever. {The Shining}

When I worked nights I would go up to the balcony and have a toke. The ghosts I would fee; amd hear were fasamorgorical.

Oh! Such a pleasure again to visit my dreams. Forever haunting.

Fascinating architecture

The painting does indeed look like one that K. D. would have painted. I worked there in the early 70's as did my parents. My parents were very good friends with K.D. and have several of his painting to this day. He was a attendant nurse, and he painted pictures like this over the hospital walls.
