The colors in true life were pretty wild, I guess it's all lab chemicals mixing together on the floor!

We still do that where I work. The steam plant whistle blasts out codes for missing people, fire alarms, indications when it's safe to return to the buildings, other disaster drills, etc.

By far my favorite chair shot. The light on the ground really makes it. The colors are so wild and alive. How do you do that?

You got balls being on those slate roofs to take the some of the best photos that I have seen. The angles, the black and white photos. You got talent, carry on brother and keep up the work, the world needs you to keep the memory fresh in a medium we all can all relate to. You have enhanced my life with your grasp what it's about. John.
Exquisite architecture and going to dust.
Can you imagine the feeling of suffocaction behind that cold unforgiving door. The suffering of mankind.
Of rack and ruin, no more no less.
Great photography.
This was the morgue in the Main Bldg,. where they performed the autopies.
Remember the few times that I brought bodies in the middle of the night to this particular morgue. Their were two in the complex, one in the Main bldg, and one in Haskell.

This wasn't the theater, in fact it was the gym. A funny dusty little place that noone really went to. I once had a boxing match with a friend and a fellow staffer there, It was a strange place.
I played a intense game of frisbee with a mad man named Mercury in this courtyard. Those are all wards that usually surrounded the courtyards.
Esthetically a time and place loser. Out of context but reality.
The agony and the estacy but the grandeur of it all.

The organ was up just beyond mezzanine where you can see. Occasionaly I would go up there an sit and do a joint and join the ghosts of my choosing. It was never melovolent but they usually appreciated my company.
