Pics like this make me see how much of a monster asylums are. :(

I'd hate to say it but I think it may be a cell. Because the Asylum in my town has rooms like that in the basement with heavy doors and they're ment for realy violent patients.

why are u ppl goin so crazy about a tree in a cage. does it really matter?

Thanks for the research Taubin, much appreciated!

Jenny Wade was the only civilian at Gettysburg killed. Many other civilians were killed in raids by conferderate irregulars, even close to the Canadian border

Jenny Wade was the only NORTHERN civilian killed in the civil war. There were many who died directly or indirectly becuase of war in the south. In Vicksburg there was a baby put near the entrance of a cave (to get air) where people had gone for shelter during the seige who was crushed by a cannon ball.

Now you're getting into the swing, Taubin! ;-)

After working in a dental supply company warehouse for 3 years, the tame stuff like drills doesn't bother me one bit. I can't count the number of times I've picked something up while packing boxes and said what the hell would ANYONE need something like THIS for let alone a dentist.

Them people can get their hands on some really freaky stuff... *shudder*

I about fell out of my seat laughing at the title. My co-worker 2 cubes over came over to make sure I was alright. Priceless. Love the photo and love the caption even moreso

The man behind the camera for all the pictures on this site, is the awesome Mr. Motts

Cleaned up a bit, this table could be ALLOT of fun. Of course, this is coming from someone who used to have a fully functional dental chair in their bedroom... Man I miss working at accubite ><

Not only that, but, how could the evil, ugly medical people charge by the pound when they were obviously starving people to death sheesh

= )~

*wanders off mumbling*

This was driving me nuts, I did a little searching and found this:

" Make It Custom , Inc. is one of MarkMaster retail web initiatives. MarkMaster was established as a Marking and Identification manufacturer in 1934. Founders Armando and Virginia Govin were children of Cuban Immigrants who came to Tampa in 1905 to make a living in the thriving cigar industry. Located for many years in front of their home in downtown Tampa, the company has expanded into all types of marking and identification products including rubber stamps, daters, name badges, name plates, signs and banners."

I know this thread is kinda old, but, I couldn't go on without attempting to clarify this a little. It was probably used to make nameplates like you see on the outside of offices. It would make sense for a hospital, or school to be able to make these for the dorms.

**disclaimer**
I'm not guaranteeing this information is correct by any means, but, it would make sense to me.

Not to drag up old threads, or subjects, but, there were also spectators at the civil war. People would come out to some of the battles with picnic baskets and make a lunch of it. I always thought this was interesting, I never thought of war as a "spectator sport"

One of my favorite shots that I've seen on the site so far. It reminds me of leaving a dreary place, into a calming light. There are very little markings/paint peelings visible on the other side of the doors. Maybe I'm just in an odd mood tonight, which is possible, or the soothing celtic violin I'm listening to, but, this just really struck me as beauty from darkness for some reason. Motts, you sell prints correct?
