Mr. Motts, good call, LOVE this series! What cool 'eyes'!!

wolf, 105S really does look like a hand print. Kinda creepy...

WOW! I love this! The shadows and light are wonderful, a great black and white picture!
Mr. Motts, I don't suppose you remember what that black rectangular box at the end of the hall on the wall is, do you? Just curious. :)

This chair reminds me of the one my grandmother used to sit in to knit all the time. :) Of course, it was in her house....
Great shot, I love the door too!

This just hurts my heart. I can see the scratches on the doors from other patients. To think that a few decades ago, people were at that door just like her....
This is a fantastic picture though.

Really interesting gallery Motts, I love the "shooting" stars! :o)

Wow, this place is pretty big! I looked at this picture and felt cold...maybe the shadows or something. Weird.

I love this shot, the stars are really cool and I think the vines really add somethintg to the picture. :)

Motts, although this set was so different than what you usually share with us, it was also beautiful! I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing another side of your work with us! Candace did a fabulous job, and thanks to Dash as well!

Yes, I hope to make my way to Kentucky soon next year, Waverly is definitely an interesting spot!

Ah, you must be very passionate about it, your work is lovely I quite enjoy it.

Yes I don't think you'd much get to just walk into any of these places if you wanted to, and I very much would like too, I'm very glad you are able to enjoy your passion though, especially seeing as you have been all over the world. I hope to book a trip to the Waverly Sanitiorium up in Kentucky, if you ever get the chance you should try checking it out I've heard alot of interesting stories about it, some of them ludacris (Spelling oh my sorry.) but I have seen a few not so detailed photos of some of the hallways, rooms and the outside of the building it is a very big place and looks facinating.

I suppose someone wasn't confident in getting out, or perhaps didn't bring a flashlight, so they let loose a ball of string through the place.

Thanks, unfortunately this cannot be my career, as there is no source of income, only expenditures :-) So I think it remains as a passion more than a hobby.

I have gotten permission to photograph a few places, but usually there's a lot of sneaking around involved and risks to take. I think the legal system in the United States really prevents these places from being easily enjoyed.

What is the infamous string for Mister Motts?

Hello again first of all, I'm sorry if I'm a nueicance, and for my spelling.

I absolutly love this shot, I find morgues to be so fascinating, I'm not sure why. Could you tell me, how did you start this career path (Oh dear if it is even your career I'm not so sure if it is a hobby or not.) I also am wondering, do you get into these places illegaly or do you get special permission? I would more than adore being able to visit some place like this for exploration sake.

these a beatifully taken photos and I love almost all of them they capture alot of emotions I would really like to do a charcoal drawing of some of them if you do not mind
