Description I found this room in a deserted hospital. The hospital has been empty for some 20 years now. All the windows have been broken, the undergrowth from outside has crept through and entangled itself onto the chair. Even the floor tiles have started curling up! I can imagine some patient sitting on this chair staring out the window.
This shot is a combination of two, one exposed for the outside, one for the inside

I too love derelict places, so much mystery and untold stories lie hidden! Thanks.

Lovely shot! Very nice colours. Like the story that goes with it too! Red that you want to make a book about this kind of pictures! Great!!
The lighting is so nice, it makes me think of the paintings of Johannes Vermeer, one of my favourite Dutch painters (see my avatar)!!!
I would like to fave this picture with more than 1 , so its going to be a !!!

Very very nice photo. Love the colours of the walls and the way the ivy (?) is creeping along the floor. And as you've already said in the description, love those floor tiles

kevinbishop In reply to Urban-Explorers [2005-09-04 11:23:09 +0000 UTC]

Wow. If you went back and set it up,
you could take a picture of one of your friends
and a picture of the empty chair
and you could put a ghost right in there.
That would be so cool.
Do you know what I mean?

kevinbishop In reply to 109cita [2005-08-12 21:25:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I know what you mean, a good idea! I would need an elderly person though, and to get into that place was very difficult! Thanks!

109cita In reply to kevinbishop [2005-08-13 18:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Was it difficult as in climbing over stuff
or difficult to avoid security patrols, etc?

Security and fencing.

Ah, then the idea of having an old folk in the chair would probably not work.

I can't believe I actually said all that in one line!

Very nice shot... I like how it looks as if the past owner sat in that very chair and wondered where they'd be in 10 years... or if they would even live there... Who knows what we will all be doing or if we will enjoy doing what we have chosen in life... me for one I try to live with as little regret as I can... I haven't totally escaped it... but I hope I can keep it to a minimum... lol.... later...

Great shot.

kevinbishop In reply to crystalfalls [2005-07-17 21:30:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! If you expose for the interior, the window over exposes and visa versa, so by metering for each, then combining them in PS, you get the desired result.
