Last Stand State Hospital: Part III

(Continued from Part I and Part II) The final set from here picks up in a building that seemed to have larger patient rooms, atypical of the whole shoebox-with-barred-windows. Parts of the layout in here confused me a bit. I tried to

Last Stand State Hospital: Part II

(Continued from Part I. Click for Part III.) I wanna pick up where I left off with my set from this place. The next building we visited was a bit different. Modern, and full of offices. Everything in here, visually,

The Land of Ice and Snow

Last fall, I was trading stories with a photographer I met in another abandoned asylum. With two state schools under my belt, he suggested a third. “I’m done for the year,” I told him. “Maybe I’ll go in the spring.” He said “If you
