As a social worker placing inmates from the state mental hospital in the seventies, I was appalled by the inside of the hospital. I saw many scenes like this one. I am following the “suitcase project” online. It’s the recording of the contents of a state mental hospital in New York state. There is a man on WP who is contracted to photograph the suitcases and a separate website for the same project online. http://www.suitcaseexhibit.org/ and here: http://joncrispin.wordpress.com
The story online is interesting. I ordered the book too. Where is this place in your photo?
Great subject and composition.
