Abandoned? Hardly...these images are animated with the despair and hopelessness of the many who endured there. Well done!

wow. I thought places like this only existed in crappy horror movies. Now lets see you shoot it at night!

Great shots, Shaun! Looks like a place where you truly need a respirator.

Are they HDR or did you just dodge and burn?

2nd to last is great...love it. All of them are really good, actually. I truly feel the loneliness and torment that the building has. Very nice work. I'd love to see more in B&W if you have any

I like that "quiet" room # 202.
This is some great photography Shaun.

Interesting, intense, surreal processing and distortion (which fits very well).
Just one psychiatrist's opinion.

The emotion and trauma that building has witnessed are captured very well in your photos.
Good work

Nice set of images.

I like the "unreal" color.

My Favorite is #3.

The padded room looks...stifling. (good idea to take the respirator!)

The dentist's chair room looks...terrifying.

"Howdy Cola!"

A very interesting view of the place. Thanks for posting the images.

absolutely, amazing shots, very eerie.

A few friends and I used to play paint ball at an abandoned mental hospital in Staten Island NY. These photos remind me of hunting down my enemies in halls very similar to those in your amazing shots.

On a serious note, one can only imagine the suffering that occured in these institutions and like Darnay said you captured it extremely well.

I like that kind of trip ! Very nice job even if I'm not fond of some of the distorsion/perspective effects.

Do you have a web site where we can see some more ?
