Motts, everytime you post a new gallery, I'm awestruck by your development as an artist. You've matured so greatly from your early shots, and you're continuing to mature. I am really inspired by you. In my own photography, I find you to be a great inspiration and influence. Really. Great job.

These images are beautifully eerie. You are such a talented photographer. I would love to see more information on the camera settings you used.
Best wishes on a wonderful new year from Austin, Texas.

They look like warmers for sheets and blackets.

Sorry - off and about. Bill wins the prize - they look like the mattress sterilizers we used to use. Don't know if they use them anymore anywhere - we just chuck mattresses when they are the least bit nasty these days, now that the state actually purchases enough extras to sleep a thousand. :-)
They look a lot like chicken nests. Not sure why they would have those though.

They do resemble chicken coops, and if the hospital were to be raising it's own livestock for a means of food, well Roasted Chicken is a great meal.

I'll take the park over &**(%$ WalThief any day of the week. At least it would pay its workers.
Great site - I'll be back to browse often. Thanks for saving what may be the last vestiges of these places. At least the future will have some frame of reference when speaking of "state institutions for the insane".
