I think that it is a disgrace that housing is to be built on-top of St. Margarets Hospital

i have seen this up close it says have another twinkie. im not kidding.

I believe it says "you've another i want", all the "angels" are going into the "devils" mouth,it wants "another". right under the halo is a "T", although it looks like a "K". It's not twin, it's "I" "WANT",it's just screwed up because the "artist" was spraying it at a slant , and they were more than likely drunk, or 13 , or both.

MOTTS THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I wish a had a ounce of your talent!!!!!!!!!

Motts~ I have to say that this one, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful ones that you've ever done.
The many different shades of red in it and the contrast that they are to each other is just beautiful.
The little shock of white snow at the bottom makes it all the more striking, and brings out the colors even more.

That must have been one helluva flashlight, or a fairly long exposure, that place it really lit up!

According to several good sources ie: actual contractors involved in demolition and a security guard of my acquaintance, the tunnels are back filled 15 feet on the ends. That tunnel I believe is the tunnel twixt Bonner and Kirkbride buildings. If the slant in the tunnel is any indication. The asbestos suits are covering the pipes that run along one side of the tunnels. We used to have captains chairs with wheels. We used to go over to the Kirkbride building with junk on the chairs. Then we'd ride the chairs back to the Bonner building. occasionally we'd have timed races. The tunnels were well lit back in the day

Thanks Mr Motts for clarifying that. I got all excited for a moment... The lighting is magic. I have just seen the DVD here in Australia (Session 9), a friend bought it for me for Xmas because I rave about your photography. She got sick of me saying all thru the movie "but Mott's lighting is sooooo much more atmospheric!! " Anyway, suffice to say the psych nurses here in Australia love your work. Bless.

Hi L,
Nothing good. I think they have her drugged or broke her spirit or something because we called her on Christmas and she didn't even remember who we were. She's had no one to talk to for so long that her mind seems to have shut down. :-(

Thanks for asking though.

Any update on Long Island's great aunt?

I love this place, I went there with some friends about 2 weeks ago, i was so pissed it's complteley torn down. PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO GET TO THE TUNNELLS, OR WHETHER OR NOT THEY STILL EXIST, PLEASE WRITE BACK TO ME.
