Folded................"the paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more"

Zebra.......you`re so right.....it`s the result of a treacle enema........commonly given to the defectives.....using Fowlers Black Treacle and warm water.........think I`m joking .look it up ...LOL

Mr. Motts ....there`s a colony in Sussex, not far from Hellingly....it`s now a colony of poncy Londoners living in flats built within the old units lol.........you missed a padded room @ Hellingly........in the smaller building near the entrance to the site........the padding is gone but the floor is a strange domed soft linoleum -like surface........spooky indeed

ooooh a lovely shade of kak (vile smelly mold)

thats a light switch and they REALLY should make wallpaper with the look of peeling paint

Lynne....God bless you for the love and care you give to the people you work with.

Lynne how right you are abouthe age appropriateness. The same facility that i worked for had case workers that would come it and totally ruin holidays for residents. We would decorate the house for the holidays and the residents enjoyed it. ( kinda like they would do in elementary school) The thing is that was age appropriate for them most of them having the mental age of a 5 year old. The case managers would come in and rip it down and if they saw the residents coloring they would flip out and take al the crayons and the coloring books away, it truly is a shame. Just bc they are 50 and 60 doesnt mean they have the mentality of a 50 and 60 year old.

The company in NY that i worked for has its own rec facility that had at one point a swimming pool that the floor in it raised and lowered epending on the type of DD patients you had in it at the time. We also had the hydraulic lift ont he side that actually lifted the wheelchairs as well as the patients. The sad thing is, is there wasnt enough use being put into the pool, so they stopped using it. It wasnt bc of the patients bc they absolutly loved the water, well the ones without the phobias.... It was bc the staff didnt want to get in the water with them.. If they could reuse this stuff it think it would be great to give to the other organizations that just dont have the funding for it.

This reminds me of some of your older work. Very rich and somewhat disorienting. It plays with perspective.

One thing I have noticed, your most recent postings haven't been done at night. I kind of miss the mystery and excitement you capture in your night shots. I guess you really don't have the liberty in another country though. :)

Two words... Sports.Illustrated

That is just PRICELESS....didja get any pix of someone's finger trying to push it...or a .mov of that? Would be a GREAT animation for an icon!
