Hospital 02, May 2010
Up at dawn with my UE mentors, drove several hours, parked, hiked through field and swamp and bitterly regretted wearing shorts, fended off an attack by an angry snake (not pictured, but yes, that really happened), and crept past the security van into this (mostly) abandoned hospital. I’ve resisted the urge to caption all of the photos; they are probably evocative enough without my yammerings.

Finally sat down to take a really good look at the pics. I especially like the one of the dead bird. When Bill and I were in Brazil this last year, there was an installation at the Sao Paulo museum done by an artist who took photos of dead birds in all kinds of tragic poses. I can’t say I loved it, but it was (sickly) intriguing.
I also like the picture of the shoe rack. (I really need one of that scale.)
My favorite picture, though, is the second one – of the stairway that climbs up into the light. Great job!
Stunning photos, Jason. When I see them, I just get filled with “wonder what happened here” type thoughts. Hospitals, like churches and cemeteries, are filled with layers of death and hope and conflict and peace. Then I start to wonder how I can use the location as a movie set.
As you may have seen on Facebook, Nick “borrowed” one of the photos for his band “The Cutting Room Floor” – Great photos, thank you for sharing.
