Love your Damasch pictures. I have always been facinated with the mind and mental problems associated with it. I went to Damasch about 2 years ago, it is in the process of being demolished. I saw in person some of the things that i saw in your pictures. I saw the nurses station. I found a towel with Damasch Hospital on it. I kept it as a souvenour. So Love your pictures and love your web site.

Thank you, Debra

Amazing subject matter! I find the location fascinating and your use of natural lighting superb. It lends an eerie quality to it. I wouldnt mind haunting these places for a while :)

First off, I like the graphic quaility of the thermostat, the color and composition are very illustrative. The images from Dammash are compelling and are by far the best in the series. Wild subject matter, great color, contrast and composition. You are definitley finding the moments, or creating them as in the 3 Ghosts shot. Well done.

Thanks for the look Bob, I think we'd be lucky to end up there, especialy since these places are now some of the quietest and most pieceful around. However as a patient, maybe a different story, but no worries cuts in budgets mean you can sleep on the street instead of an isolation room. Who doesn't love the great out doors anyway
