Now this is architecture...

Had a busy weekend with out of town and local friends running around taking photos. I shot three new rolls of film at this location that i'm excited about getting developed sometime in the week. For now here's an older photo: this is a sunbridge on the wing of a kirkbride that connects the very last ward to the rest of the wing - the only way to get from this ward to the others is by going to the 2nd floor and opening the door that leads to this suspended, curved corridor - I don't think ive ever seen another kirk with anything similiar or as beautiful. Traditionally the wards fartherst from the center or administration part of the kirkbride is suppost to hold the most violent or dangerous patients, I don't think this was the case here as this last ward had nice fireplaces, wood paneling, large day rooms with recreation equipment, etc - I think the sunbridge and controllable isolation is what helped it to be used for a different purpose.



The new film set will be posted sometime in the next few weeks to [info]rana__x
