of all the sad pictures on this site, this one kills me the most...
it really makes me think... if I were in that circumstance and died and my belongings were in this very heap... I want to cry just thinking about it. all the material posessions that mean something to me or have sentimental value... left to rot. since they couldn't be given to their owner's families or taken with them, I can only pray that this will be their grave and not ransacked by vandals or thieves. I doubt that, though, and sooner or later this place will have to be demolished... it makes me so sad...
EW. this brings back bad memories. see my mom and I were just recently cleaning out an extension to my garage that is just like a little house, we had left it abandoned for a number of years and finally decided to clean it out and use it again, my mom told me to move a shelf for her and I didnt want to because I knew we had rats in there at a time (we live behind a lumber warehouse thing, so we always have damn rats in the yard and garage) I protested but she made me move it and indeed there was a giant mummified dead fucking rat that looked just like this!! only it was definatly a rat and it was SO gross I can never look at my pet rat the same way ever again!!
as a projectionist of the old school(20 Min reels, carbon arc's and log hours in the semi dark I rekon its a pity about these beauties, bird crap and no use for some while could mean that they may never work again, which is a pity. as the scene could well be damp and that wont help!! (its in the blood)
You're digging too deep I think. When I saw it I simply thought about his/her mental illness... because mental illness can be described as dancing to the different music (other people do not hear that music). It may be a brilant metaphor I like it very much
