Don't these places 'beat up' well?

[vmlopes]

Thanks everyone glad you liked them..........you never know how a bit of UE is going to be received

Where are the patients? I do hope the place is abandoned, though. But that pair of shoes might indicate otherwise.

Can you set this straight, please.

 

[flessas]

Perfect !!!! Where is Jack Nicolson ))

Good pictures!.....but surely it was a 'Residence for people with learning dissabilities'?

Uhh that might be the modern politicaly correct term, but it was officialy called a Lunatic Asylum

Did you see any rusty old Kievs or Zorkis in there?

Plenty of rust...........but no old cameras

We all have a niche that we like photographing.............mine is old Hospitals and Asylums.........I could show some right freaky ones.........but alas they were taken on digital

Thanks and good..........the 50mm definately gives it a different take, I normally shoot at 10mm on a DSLR, defo' makes you think and frame differently

How long are they keeping you in? The place looks like it's falling apart.
