Artist's Comments

I've had the oppourtunity in the last week to visit an old school in a small town North of me.... I took a ton of pictures showing the decay and scenes from the past there... I loved it... However I learned my lesson today as I went to it and ended up speaking to the police for over an hour... As it had been bought by a private citizen it was trespassing to go inside (which we did)... In all fairness is was wrong of us to go in without permission, but the sucky part was that the reason they had to come see us was that there had been vandalism and people doing drugs inside before... The police seemed sympathetic, and understood that I and my friends were only taking photos, not destroying what I consider a piece of history, even in it's current state... Time will tell if I get charged, but I'm hoping for the best....
In the meantime, I want to share this wonderful, sad, pitiful, amazing place with you... At least I was able to get some photos... :)

One section was more destroyed than the others... The roof had developed leaks, so the moisture broke the ceiling down, a bit at a time...

very unpleasant to see in some form, but too a degree, this image is so beautiful.

This picture seeps with desperation, in a sense. The way the overhead lights are close to falling, the position of blinds in the window, the emptiness of the cabinet. So much of a melancholy feeling that overwhelms the heart.

Beautiful.

The way the floor is full of books makes it seem like everyone left suddenly... as if the everyone went on a daytrip but never came back.

I sure hope you won;t get any more hassle from the police!
