dont ya feel like alice in wonderland when she shrunk down looking at this photo

motts cant wait for your book to come out i have been looking at your photos alot for a while and have just recently started commenting them and they are fricken sweet and trust me you will have noooo problum selling copys (hell i'd buy 15 just to scatter around my house)

what disclamer?

am i the only one here who looks at that photo and automaticaly think of zombies and vampires?? anyone anyone at all?

hey motts why are you trying to keep the location "under wraps"

Thanks, I've shot film a long time ago but never in an abandoned building... I'd love to try but I just don't have the time or resources to do so nowadays.

Hi Mr. Motts great shot(s). I was wondering: did you ever try to take some pics with a film camera? I'd be curious to see if using film could make different colors or different sensations.
Congratulations for all your amazing and talented pictures, i really like them all and i think as u just said that there are no softwares to turn a bad picture into a great picture. Your brain and your eyes make the difference and the way you cut the scene when you are about to shot and you picture the result in your mind to imagine how the pic will come out.
Never stop doing this!

I always loved the Austrian taffeta, but the straw? It makes me feel ambivulent.

Wow I am speechless and mesmerized. Cant stop looking at all these fantastic pictures..... I hope the book goes through!!

that's some major bashing on your husband, deb. i sure hope he doesn't see what you wrote, poor guy. (he really piss himself??) and what is with the editorials on this page? good god, no i didn't read them, but hell, that's a lot of writing. pretty soon i'm gonna have to write one myself ;-)

sometimes i complain about my dorm bed in my room here at college, but after seeing this pic, jeez my bed all of a sudden feels like a puffy cumulous cloud!

that ceiling is in ruins. like the fact that a light is still hanging on by a thread.

oh man, this doesn't even look real! not to say that it isn't, but it's so surreal. what an amazing perspective this is. just...wow. really i can't find words to describe this. i've looked at alot of pictures on this site, this has to be one of my favorites if not the one favorite. top 2 or 3 no question about it. and i really agree with that description as well. all life has simple ceased to exist inside the chamber, a bird's eye view without the people, without the souls, without the time...

the color is just great in this one. first fading tan, then further down a pink hue, and the blue room at the end just makes the picture. that room looks so inviting compared to the rest of the pic, haha i'd be running towards that last room!

huh.. great picture with the moss growing on the floor

jen,
I agree with you, I come back to look at this pic often, its very haunting!
