Abandoned Healthcare

[zander303]

I took this shot through the window of an old rundown house. Liked the way the cupboard was showing it's contents, one door missing the other gone.
I would appreciate your thoughts on it

Strange construction. The flowered wall decoration looks like tiles (though it is peeling, so it can't be ceramic). The lower stuff looks like very thin pressboard. The cupboard has a door on its left side, but no door on the right, and, judging from the snaps on the outside, can't have a door on that side. The door on the left has a latch on the bottom edge that has no receiving lock on the cabint. And the cupboard, on the right side overlaps the door, so the door can't be opened. Oh well. Why am I worrying about this...?


Aside from these trivial details...
I like this kind of picture. Makes you think about the random moment after which nothing was ever touched again in the cabinet. Why the bottles ended up in that configuration.

I've always found medicine cabinets intriguing. Such a personal tidbit, so often in a downstairs bathroom where visitors to a house may be and may potentially look. To peek, or not to peek. ;)

This one has its doors thrown open (and off) like a lunatic running down the streets with his shirt ripped open. "Look at me!" and the funky tile-esque wall paper...burmuda shorts on that lunatic for sure.

Hey Julie - I think the latch on the bottom is actually a handle to pull the door open. The latch / clasp are on the outside of the door/frame just below the level of the (glass?) shelf.

Okay enough rambling... Thanks for the fun photo! :)

Funny you should mention that Photojag, the house does have some weird history to it.
Sorry about my description, it ment to read 'one door missing the other one open' :oops:

Julie I enjoyed reading your detailed description of the image, I see your a person who takes everything in.

Athena I loved your take on it: This one has its doors thrown open (and off) like a lunatic running down the streets with his shirt ripped open. "Look at me!" and the funky tile-esque wall paper...burmuda shorts on that lunatic for sure. :lol:

Thanks for looking.

I work for a bank, have for 15 years now. When I first joined the company there where five floors of human beings that occupied our “main” office. Being the early 90’s the company seemed like a throw back to an earlier age, more like a family really. Over the course of years four floors of humans have been laid off. One day I decided to explore the abandoned floors and what I found was amazing. There where offices completely intact, desk set up as if the employee had just got up and left, everything in place anticipating their return. Desk calendars with appointments long past, work neatly piled which would never get finished. I got some captures, but they never quite captured the emotion. Just looked liked empty offices. Your capture evokes the emotion I tried to get. Who put those bottles in place, why did they leave them?

Good capture, I like it.
