Where did you spend new years? I spent it in 3 insane asylums!

[LostInPa]

For years now, i've been staying over at old insane asylums on new years as a humbling beginning to the new year.
This year, i spent it at 3 different asylums located in CT and on Long island.
One of which, was featured on VH1's Halloween spook series seen HERE:

Spooktacular! Really love shots 2, 3 10 and 12 especially. That's the most 'out there' way of ringing in the new year that I've heard so far. Thanks for sharing.

I really like this stuff. #1 gave me a chill

Kinda freaky but I loved them..... I will look from afar cause you would never catch me in there. Good job.

Nice stuff...We have an old place called Riverview near here and I think I've procrastinated long enough, I'm going to call, maybe they'll let me do a shoot out there. Maybe I could just check in with my camera

Wonderful!

Abandoned mental institutions are quite an experience, aren't they?

I was lucky enough to visit Camarillo State out here a couple times before they tore it down for the new school. I only wish I could find more.

wow....i seriously love them

I like 10 the best.

Is that in Danbury CT? I work as a crisis worker in Mental health as my real job. There is a state psych hospital 30" away which is still operational that I keep meaning to get to for some pics, but haven't made it yet.
Nice series.

Wow, wonderful series. #5 and #10 are my favorites.

Tremendous series! Pic #10 is extremely beautiful, in a spooooky way.

Photo #1 reminds me of the movie "The Jacket" (with Adrien Brody and Jennifer Jason Leigh). I didn't think those "lockers" really existed in mental institutions, but I was wrong now it seems.

10 is by far my favorite, awesome shot you have there.

 

[WVPhotoGuy]

Great Shots! And I have to agree with everyone, #10 is my fav. too!

Nicely done. I particularly like the wheelchair shot and all those old equipment shots kinda freak me out a little..
