About
"That" pretty nurse, I don't know her name. Puts me in the chair.
Locked down..all choices removed.
The needle goes in, and the rage runs away...like a coward.
Cold, sticky liquid on my neck.
Voices reassure. No worries.
They move so swiftly. Like an auto mechanic, twisting nuts..tossing wrenches. They could do it in their sleep. Then they take their hands off me and turn the dial.
And my whole world turns white.
My teeth hurt.
I taste rubber.
And I never remember.
Her god-damned name.

Seems like a very dangerous chair - i prefere to stand up :))

On fire. Great full light.

Creepy, esp. here in the early morning hours all alone at my desk. The harsh contrast, no doubt like the treatment. Nicely done Brad~

I read your verse, then looked at the image...and felt deep cold surge up the base of my spine.

You can taste the ash of burnt memory here...sense terror and despair in the rusted iron. Like a rabbit harried by a mongoose until it loses the will to live, and stands mutely watching its end approach.

I always save your images from this series for viewing last, Brad. They demand a space of their own, deserve to be viewed in silence...it's impossible to see, then blithely move on. Their effect lingers long after the monitor's glow has faded.

Unforgettable.

Help Mummeee I am scared. I promise to be good from now on!


Janet B   {K:16139} 9/30/2005
Spectacular light ~ lending to make this even more eerie!
This is stuff nightmares are made of.
Well done again, Brad!

It looks like a treatment or torture chair for those who are not willing to adapt themselves to the rules.
the extremly hard light contrast emphasizes the feeling of threat and fear.


Ursula Luschnig   {K:21869} 10/1/2005
There are many methods of turture..this must be a horrible one.OMG..you captured it as cruel as possible.I mean the picture is excellent.
Really hope you will not return too often there...
Hugs,Ursula

Very poignant, Sir. The poetry is acerbic and brilliant: deprived of choices, rage, memory!


Gayle's Eclectic Photos   {K:91033} 10/2/2005
truly a rotten return on that emotional investment!...

the harsh light/contrast,tone and rusty details all work well here...like your little story,too
BTW,the nurse's name was Nurse Ratchet,or was it Wretched?...;>

good shot!
well done Bradley..


Michael Alexander   {K:5293} 11/4/2005
It?s a scary place brad, I like the HARD light and HARD contrast here, and it suits the subject. Primitive technology, primitive psychiatric methods. The image is disturbing, and that?s cool! But, This image cannot compare with how disturbing it must have been to be strapped down to that chair! This picture makes you really think, I have no suggestions on this one, I wouldn?t change a thing.

Michael, you're right... this chair totally freaked me out! The whole experience of several visits was extremely unsettling. The whole place has a feeling of "hidden secrets".

dear bradley,
"strong tobacco" as we say in german. your view has an enormous impact and power on me, not to speak of the vision your words are creating along with it. a picture that cannot be misunderstood in its outstanding alarm and warning. great1
happy new year
