i am very jealous right now. until they started demolition the rotunda had already caved in. the closest i came to it was a hallway where i could kind of see through inside of it

Hey kids, it's not the horror, it's not even really the false history that we were given about these old wonderful places. It's what they are. a monuement of another time that has been preserved by a talent who had the forsight to memorialized them before the throw away American's could destroy them and make a profit. You be a good man. Motts.

High skies and reality, After so many years of following a great photographer, you just capture so much of the essence of your subjects. Noone has come close to you in the talent you have displayed. Fame is your final caption. What the hell does that mean?

This photo is so moving in it's lumninescence gloom. It takes this old man's breath away. Never can cease to believe the talent of Mott's. The best.

One day a man goes to his doctor and says, "Doc im feeling faint, depressed and agitiated." So his doctor gives him three kinds of pills and says, " ok take the green one with water every morning, the blue one with water every afternoon and the red one with water at night."
Man; " oh my god all those pills? whats wrong with me?'
Doc; " oh, you're not drinking enough water."
