remains of old military hospital

Back to Angel Island Tom. I walked around there several years ago, but had only a point and shoot (alas no IR then). Good looking comp.

Looks like an interesting location, Tom. Love the textures. And, shame to say, I am a fan of decay.

Tim - thanks for the comments.
Scott - it's okay to like decay! the rest of the island is not too good for shooters. nice bay views, but this is the only interesting building that photographers can get into; we keep hoping that they do not 'restore' it.

regards, tom

A perfect location for a fashion shot session.

m... good thought! the more I think about the idea, the better it sounds.

Nice, I'm a sucker for peeling paint...

Al, we all have our strengths!
thanks, tom

Interesting angle, and I, too, like the texture. On a lighter note, this hospital looks pretty sterile and clean, even in its state of closure and decay!

T-bone - mighty dusty in many spots!
regards, tom

Great framing tom. I love the texture of the peely walls as well. Adds to the feel and depth of this image so much.

Got to have more pictures from this place Tom.
Looks like a fascinating old building

eric, Lazlo - thanks for the kind comments. I'll look in the trash and see if any other are printable (!).

regards, tom

Fascinating places, these derelict buidings. I wonder how this would look a tad darker (for the ambiance) and with grittier textures ?

santos - funny you should ask about darkness. on my calibrated screen my images always look a little darker that those I post here. but you are right, the darker images are better (to my eyes).

Hi Tom, Love this image. I, too, would love to see this with more contrast and maybe some 'excessive' sharpening. Seeing the detail in the peeling walls, floors, and steps would add to the "loneliness and abandonment" that you must have felt when you were there.

Danny, gads! I may have to return to the drawing board, with my dark pencil and sharpening pen!!!
thanks for the comments.

Mado - thanks for the kind comments.
