This guys face seems to come through the window..notice the black frame!

i think motts will agree withme on this one but the lone chair shot is just something u come to expect everytime you go to an abandon building. as random as it is there is always at least on Lonley chair

A place to live takes priority before it's aesthetics.

I dont know Motts, why would the homeless want to come to a place where there is so much lingering sadness?

It's so true, in every old abadoned building there will be a chair
all by it's self, as if just waiting for the people to come back again some day

Stagnant lives and stolen childhoods

in a sick way, this is a fitting tribute to the Institution

Oh Lord, this one makes me want to cry.
Damnit Motts, your too good at this, thank you for the images, as haunting and disturbing as they may be

Meloncolic, you can almost see the lost shades waiting for anything more than what they had been denied
this wasnt life, it wasnt even an exsistance..it is hell

Fragments of the past, scattered to our feet

disturbing Motts, very much so

Forgive me for putting it this way, but the shot is so amazingly staged it could be used for a "Children of the corn" sequal

Beautiful and haunting, brillant and cold

The lone chair is very Session 9 -esque, I love it. It always makes me wonder, if the place was abandoned, why do these chairs end up empty and randomly somewhere?

creepy , probably one of your cohorts, lol

i love how the walls are peeling and obviously old, but the exit signs look very modern..like they would fit in a modern school

just a random question...do you take another person along with you when you visit these places, and how do you get "clearance" to enter and take photos
