LOL no I really, really, really doubted there was a connection, but I was just about to say I knew someone that actually had the Pete Moss xD

hello barbara
peat moss is a nickname i earned at a workplace in maine
would you have a connection there?

Oh my are you the Pete Moss from my old school? lol

yes there really was someone named Pete Moss...

it is simply amazing how quickly these places deteriorate once they are no longer inhabited. i can imagine walking these halls now, exposes the visitor to many hazards(lead paint and asbestos)

Cindy, let me get you some stuff, but I'll need several days. I have some great old posters for medications from that time period. As far as side effects, I also have a bunch of stuff on that too, since I used to in-service medication side effects for my staff.

I love the name of this photo. I can just imagine the squares of light moving around the room as the sun rises and then sets. If i were crazy - hell, we are all a little bit crazy anyway - i would want to spend my days watching them.

Fruit cakes have nuts, Go Figure!
We have a poop portrait here on this site.

I dont think blood and I am nuttier then a fruit cake.. what I think when I look at this picture is someone was trying to entertain themselves and decided to leave a finger paint portrait in poop.

ok anything that could possably stick out from the slat at the bottom of the door that could expell body fluids would be fair game to my boots.. Call me abusive, I myself have worn every body fluid known to man ......but........yuck.. the thought of some poor lost soul that has been stuck in a little room with probibly only a bed pan and no shower for god knows how long trying to launch body fluids on me just seriously grosses me out

Lynne,
My students are presenting One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for competition in March. They have begun the process of researching the issues of the sixties as well as life in state hospitals. During 1963, what were an orderlies' duties as well as a nurse's while patients were in group therapy? Also, I don't know whether you are familiar with the play/movie, but the patients range from nonconformists to the ill. What medication was given during this time? I am asking everyone's help here. What were the side effects of the medicine? My kids want to get this right and make these characters human, not caricatures. I have read, with interest, all of the comments. Motts, the pictures are haunting and tell stories. What a talent!

Talk about having to hug the wall to keep your privacy.

dignity dividers huh ?

This site has kept my attention for an hour now..I stumbled on it by accident.

You give new meaning to the term capturing an image... You Truly tell a story with your photos and i am lost in that world
