Thank you I hope to start publishing soon, I think I just need to focus on a small portion of my work.

Thanks, there was actually plenty of light in these rooms, as no boards were secured to the windows.

I agree-wallpaper please! Amazing shot! Thank you as well for sharing these amazing images-book please! Pretty please?!?

Right- for patients that were so sick they couldn't get out of bed. My husband had his aortic valve in his heart replaced, and post surgery had some complications. He ended up having 5 more surgeries(ironically enough the complications weren't with his heart). Anyways, when he was so sick(he almost died) the hospital had to weigh him in bed. Of course now they have scales built right into the beds.

I miss Lynne! Hope she comes back soon!

Itnis so sad to think of babiesnin the hospital. I wonder what the baby/infant TB survival rate was back then. As a mother myself, I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would have been to have your childn in a TB hospital...inassume contactnwith your afflicted child wouldnhave been minimal as TB is so contagious...

NatStarr-I'm with you-he does kinda look like Johnny Depp! :)

Actually-wouldn't it have been a vaccine that replaced it? I wonder what the heating bills would have been like in this place with all the large windows...

Love this....wallpaper?!?

I meant struck! Fedz struck again!

Maybe Fedz stuck again...sorry, couldn't resist that comment!

I rally think Motts should create a series of coffee table books with his images. I don't know about you guys, but I would buy them; I collect photography books and would love a compilation of Motts' work...come on Motts-blurb.com! I am sure lots of us would buy them!

Even though wit was a TB hospital and not a psych hospital, there is something I like about this shot...I usually hate the thought of graffiti in these places, but for some reason this is really striking.

One I meant. Silly iPad...

I love the old solariums. Wish I had ine!
