About My first "series". While roaming one day, I "discovered" an abandoned facility that housed the mentally disturbed. It has been closed for about 25 years. Inside, the maze of halls and rooms were filthy, rotting, and creepy beyond words. There were disturbing reminders everywhere, of the lost souls that inhabited, and I believe suffered, here. I'll try to post every few days.

Great shot. Too bad you didn't have a stormy sky with well defined clouds to enhance the mood.

Very moving...must have been an experience to just enter this building ..let alone all the creepy feelings.. well done... good choice to do in BW as well.

Excellent light, shadows and angle. A great sense of desolation with the tangled weeds and ivy.

Brad, you are one brave soul, I give ya that. This place looks absolutely creepy! Scares the heck out of me just looking at it-but I can't help it. You've done well in capturing the essence of this place. I can almost image the people staring out of the windows, some just staring, some screaming... The whole series is beyond the rating scale. Just excellent~

Great series this. Personally I think it's beautiful as a space. I love it when we let real estate "go".

very well chosen angle to picture this disturbing building

Hi Brad

Just revisiting your asylum series. Were you able to just wander up to this place and rock on in or did you have to covince people that it was good idea that you photograph there.

When I say this is genius, I sincerely mean it. I think this is the best series I?ve seen on usefilm. I would consider getting it published. I don?t think this shot is a good ?stand alone? shot although, I feel it?s a perfect ?reference? shot to start out this journey through the building. I?m going to try to make it a point to comment on each of your photos in this series when I find the time. I have an unusual attachment towards asylums for many reasons actually, I?ll explain why in future posts. I loved your comments describing the building, I?ve been in places like this, I can relate to the sense of history a person feels while roaming the halls long after the patients and staff are gone. That smell, that musty smell, of an old an abandoned building, really nothing like it. you can almost feel the history there. Great series brad!
