I really like the way you use light in your photography. Simply breathtaking.

So cool! :D

Mind if I charge my iPod in an outlet? XD

Thanks for sharing @Claudia

Ok, not gonna lie, I checked out that book Women in White and am reading it right now.

I would love to have a piece of old medical equipment, such as this. So many stories to tell!

The lighting couldn't be better in this shot. Very nice. :)

How'd those cards work out for ya?

That orange color and the bright blue remind me of those bed covers also. But some of the other stuff looks like it could have been the curtains that were on the ceiling rails so you could give a patient the illusion of privacy.

That blue thing is a plastic urinal which for some unknown reason was called a "duck". Plastic ones could be discarded post the patient discharge.

The hospital that I worked in had a special cart called the "morgue" cart that took bodies away. The cart could be raised to help get the "dead weight" of the patient onto it. There was a rectangular frame about 2 feet above the metal cart (no mattress so it could be cleaned easily). This frame was covered with a muslin cover that went almost to the floor. The cart above may have held a body at one time or another, but I think this hospital probably had a specialized cart for morgue transfers.
