The graphitti gives a surreal appearance.

Well, I'm at work,day before Thanksgiving. A misty day.
Just finished my liverwusht sandwich.
Think I'll wait an hour then have a plastic cup of ice water.

Ugh why do vandals even bother with shitty graffiti?

I never post comments but I am a regular visitor to Opacity and I have also learned a lot from Lynne. If I have a question about a photo I just scroll down and look for her name!

Could have been a security guards room or could have been a homeless person that moved in til he got caught and made to move on.

Pizza's done....

serenityjane, you could be right, id much rather have a person draw out their thoughts then actually act on them, there are alot of mental and emotional problems that effect people of all ages these days, some need professional guidance.

LucieLoo..........maybe this WAS a kind of therapy!

that's what it is probably.........a fetish. But I teach kids who come out with some really shocking stuff, namely regarding death and torture. By making jokes about it they are just exploring their own reactions to it....and sometimes they are the first to get scared when faced with frightening real life situations. Maybe these drawings are the same. You know what they say, it's the quiet ones who you have to be careful of. (the ones that keep it all hidden inside).

Mr Motts,

As a long time fan, I'm not sure if your photos are art, social commentary or a bit of both with a dash of something else as well.

I do know they are freaking brilliant and I'm going to keep pushing for a book or a museum showing!

The sado-masochistic theme is a little bizarre to find on these pages. It would appear that someone had a fascination with it...with the control that dominating a woman would give them, someone that obviously had absolutely no control in a place like this.

I notice that the boots are drawn with care. They are stilettos and always at a certain height. I'd say s/he has a boot fetish as well.

But, that's just me.

With the way those light above are positioned I don't think they'd give that much light. Of course the windows help but still at night it would be dark there. Scary. Oc course I'm talking back in the day.....now it would be totally dark.....the tagging is sad though.....

Yeah thats one large support bean isn't it. Its really nice....to bad all the graffiti artists had to tag it all up huh....what a total shame......

Yeah, this is a nice shot of the staircase....love it Motts. Yeah, since I've been in the photo section at this site......I myself have loved reading Lynne's comments as well esp on the 'School for Girls'....whatever happend with that building Lynne. I appericate everyones comments here. This is a wonderful site. I just got to get on the Forum yet......I read alot there but still not on it to post yet.....Everyone here is awesome. Of course, Motts, too and his wonderful photos.......

Personally, I think those curtains are kinda scary looking. All the peeling paint too.......but this is what happens when buildings are left to there own....they fall apart......how sad......
