Horatio Alger Center for the Mentally Impaired
Just a couple shots. This is one of those places that is very very epic, but also tricky to pull good shots from. The woodwork we saw was astonishing, though. Tons of fun visiting this one.

Norwich State Hospital on Film
Another set from Nahhhhwich, this one on Fuji Pro 160S. These were shot on one of the Canon A1s I was shooting with to try and lighten the load. These are probably the majority of my favorite shots from here, and I believe this was my last trip.

Built near the Metropolitan State Hospital campus, the Gaebler School was created specifically to address the needs of children with mental illnesses. As with many institutions of it’s type, the stories of former patients who resided within these walls are not always pretty. It is chilling to walk the halls of this building, passing seclusion…
