A patient bathroom at a village style asylum built in 1904 basks in the afternoon glow. I wonder how many patients bathed in this tub, looking out the window dreaming of freedom. Some folks spent nearly their entire lives in institutions like this. 100+ views! Thanks everyone!

“Lord of Paradise” by Skye Ryan-Evans features a beautiful wild Chimpanzee surveying his diminishing world. “Many people are unaware that the common African Chimpanzee is no longer common. They are a species nearing extinction!” 50% of all proceeds go to The Jane Goodall Institute. An incredible organisation that helps protect the seriously endangered African Chimpanzees (often mistakenly called “monkeys”). Jane Goodall through a lifetime of tireless researching, education and campaigning was one of the first Chimpanzee experts to bring notice of their precarious status to the World stage. Thank you for helping us to assist this incredible group of wildlife enthusiasts. Jane Goodall is one of my heroes and I donate as regularly as my art sales will allow. Thank you for caring about these magnificent creatures. Skye :o-) “

A great turnout of Redbubblers met at Gladesville Mental Hospital this morning for some photo opportunities. I love this old basin (not the first old washbasin to pop up in my portfolio!!!) in one of the delapidated buildings. Thanks to Philip and Kaz for organising the day. Gladesville Mental Hospital (formerly Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum) operated from c.1838- Surviving records cover c.1822-1985 In 1838 the lunatic asylum was moved from Liverpool to Tarban Creek, Gladesville and the first patients were transferred from Liverpool Asylum and the Female Factory, Parramatta. It accepted patients from Victoria up until 1848 when the Yarra Bend asylum was opened. By the mid 1960s the institution was known simply as Gladesville Hospital. In 1993 premises at Gladesville Hospital and Macquarie Hospital were revoked as hospitals, and were amalgamated to form the Gladesville Macquarie Hospital.

it’s easy to only focus on the sadness inherent in an old derelict building like teton. / when you know the misery in the history of a asylum, and you see / only the ruins of what it once was, you sometimes become blinded / by the macabre and morose, by thwarted hopes and unchecked corruption. / if this is all you see – in an abandoned building, in your own life, in the world around you / it’s easy to feel that perhaps it would be best to erase it all, to hide everything away / so deep that it can’t encroach upon your fleeting comforts and contentment. / but, in this place where such terrible, tragic things occurred / there is something else that resides there – sometimes in the brilliant green ivy / that works its way into cracks and crevasses the way lovers’ fingers entwine, / sometimes in the softness of the wind, or the stillness of untouched afternoon sunlight – or / the way gravity welcomes the falling rafters back to the earth and time / absolves its past in the oblivion of unmolested sleep. teton had such beauty – in / the sincerely charitable ambitions that built it, in the graceful forms of its architect’s true design, / in the naive hope of the many who genuinely believed it could bring a cure for the ill, / and in those confined who stole friendships and dignity from the greedy hands of / disgrace and neglect. if you can’t see these things, you’ll never understand why i do what i do. / photographs capture slivers of time. they preserve a point of view, a moment / that would otherwise be forever lost. if you seek truth through them, / maybe you can illuminate the soul of a thing, and maybe show someone else / the proud glory and splendor of the forgotten and forsaken. / the triumphs and frailties of human endeavor may now be heard only in echoes, / but i guarantee you if you are quiet and you listen / you will hear not screams of agony and anguish, but the sweet serenity of final release. / if you approach the past with humility and reverence in your heart you’ll realize that / immortality is not something anyone can ever capture – but if you are very lucky, / through a photograph perhaps you may capture a glimpse, / a fleeting moment of something that, in its own abstract and inexplicable way, / proves beyond a doubt that nothing ever dies. / —-—-—-—-—-—-- photo taken at teton state hospital / more of my work is on www.abandonedamerica.org / please check out my new book, filled with photos and text – the link is on my site’s main page!

Abandoned building at The Ladd Center in Exeter, RI. This facility was originaly named “The Exeter School for the Feeble-Minded”. It was shut down in 1993 after years of rumored abuse of its patients. I wouldn’t recommend visiting this facility today. Not only is supposedly haunted by the tourtured souls of hundreds of past residents, RI state police will arrest you if you are spotted snooping around. This image was captured using a Flipped-Lens Brownie Hawkeye camera and Arista black and white educational film. No digital manipulation was employed. “Abandoned” is featured in the Toy Camera group.

Welcome to the planet Nagoya!! / Now we are on the side where I used to live and work for about three and half years :-)) For those who is wondering what “TTI” stands for: “Toyota Technological Institute”. A little bit about how it was done. Using Nikon D80 with 18-200mm VR Nikkor lense I first took 23 NEF (RAW) files, then processed them with CaptureNX to make several different exposures. After that with the help of PTGui created a normal 360° panoramic image. With a simple trick I could use absolutely same control points and alignment parameters for all exposure sets of images, so final panoramas were almost 100% same. In order to avoid some tonal or contrast mismatches at the opposite edges of panorama as a result of HDR processing, I first created “planetoid” images with different exposures. And making the HDR and ToneMapping by Photomatix was a final step. / Final touch was done in CaptureNX as it has a unique tool called “control points” (it saves a lot of time), and also it allows saving the modified image in NEF format preserving all the workflow so that later you can open it again and modify some control points or other settings.
