Artist's Comments

Just a secluded corner of an old church. Man, I love old, dilapidated structures... lol

I personally like the high contrast of this shot... usually that's a bad thing (and you may think so), but it seems to work?

I like this. I'd like to see a version of this with darkened colors and matting.

Have you any idea how ironic it is when someone calls someone a "retart"?

oh it works very nicely. :D

I like the old run down buildings too ;3 especially the furniture factories with all the moss growing on them around the graffiti :D it's really neat. =3 There's like...a huge section of a town near here full of them. xD

ANYWAYS, very nice shot. It really stands out and gives me this odd feeling...again...I don't know how to explain it. xD

Hey, I likey! Whaddayah know, I have a thing for old dilapidated buildings, too. You should head on over and check out ~VermilionMartyr's shots of King's Park Psychiatric Centre for a few chills and thrills. I really love them, but I'm morbid that way :p

Ah, yes, matting! I'm going to start that from now on! It'll be sweet! And it's thanks to you, man, for putting that forth, as well.

I should have done that years ago, lol! XD;

This moment is all that we have... Our perception is all that we see... Perception is relative... Relativity is devoid of absolute meaning, and is thus empty. I am pondering this at the moment...

Oh, my, those photographs are amazing... I would have so much fun visiting a place like that... I have that same kind of appreciation for subtle creepiness. I'm also fascinated by the sight of my own blood, but that's beside the point :XD: >.>

Ah, that's all right... I share that same morbid fascination... I must say, if you love stuff like that, do try and play the Silent Hill games if you ever get the chance. The entire setting is pretty much like King's Park, and it's full of interesting little psychological tweaks. I recommend the second or fourth installments the most.

And as a random thought, I had been really dying to go see Danvers State ([link]) since I found out about its existence, but they tore it down sometime last year, to my great disappointment =( I'll just have to go and watch Session 9 again....

I will have to try that series sometime. I've heard good things about it.

Aw, that's too bad. There should be an organization committed to preserving creepy places, like the National Park Association. Lol...

Ah, I've seen a few scenes from Session 9 and heard almost the whole thing from the next room over. I loved the soundtrack. XD;

Oh yes, it caused me many sleepless nights, but it's soo much fun. The game just throws curveballs at you every so often, especially during the end, that make you feel like you might be the one who's going crazy! That's one thing that movies can't do.

Hahah, that would be awesome! Like the Society for Preservation of Places that F*** With Your Head :XD: I'd donate!

And yes, for the love of things that freak you out, watch the rest of Session 9. It's awesome!
