My friend Ruth turned me on to this
photographer Chris Payne and his Asylum images a couple weeks ago. The colors are amazing. I really love old, abandoned buildings so much for some reason. This is a room of old file boxes...
I think the peeling paint is beautiful... some of the details in the architecture, amazing. This marble staircase...
And these
Eames chairs kill me. What a collection of colorful seating in this abandoned autopsy auditorium. You could design a whole house based on the color palette of the chairs alone. I'd love to raid a place like this to see what I might find.
Isn't this bathtub so
Girl, Interrupted? All these pictures are so creepy, but beautiful. They evoke an almost physical response in me.
So, it was an odd coincidence to see this next one hanging in my boss' house at a party last weekend. Her's was by
David S. Alee. Two different artists, but capturing very similar images – of asylums as the subject. Apparently they
photoshop'd a gurney out of this one, as it was off-putting to potential buyers, which I find a shame. If I remember correctly, this was a pharmacy.
The central glare is from my camera flash, but on my computer at least, the rest of the colors are pretty true. Oddly pretty and interesting.
