No comments for this image??? I don't know if you guys consider it rude here to post on older stuff, but i find the composition in the photo amazing.

The upper half of the photo is dominated by the bright skylight contrasting with the dark ceiling. While in the lower half the beam of light hitting the wall mirrors the skylight but in a much more diffuse way. And the pipe bisects the image in just the right way.

Brilliant Mr Motts. I'm definitely getting addicted to this website. 8 )

Hey, rich_edwards79, if you wanted, I could arrange for you to get a phone like that. I'm a member of the ATCA (Antique Telephone Collector's Association) and I'd be glad to help you out. Email me at: krasicky 49451 @yahoo.com (without the spaces, I'm hiding from spam and stuff).
Let me know what colour you might want, and it won't cost you a fortune. I have some good friends who probably have just what you want...

What kind of equipment? I'm a theater tech and find your theater shots fascinating (especially considering that most of the gear I work with is almost as old as the gear in your photos :p)

rich_edwards, Laserdiscs were one of the various video formats available in the '80s - they actually predate CDs by a few years. They are the size of an LP, and are recorded on both sides.

Omg, this shot it totally amazing. In fact, i think that this hotel totally amazing. If not for the graffiti in the pool, it's as if life in this hotel froze in an instant and remained that way untouched (well almost) until today.

I think it's amazing how this place is completely untouched. So far, i didn't see one smashed window or any graffiti. It makes me feel all warm inside =)
