January 3, 2008



It's really cold tonight. And after listening to stories from 89-year-old Doris Terranova last night about sleeping on the open porches at the State Sanatorium, on uncomfortable beds covered in snow, it makes me wonder how those patients got through one night, let alone an entire winter.

I took the photograph on my first visit to one of the abandoned buildings at Zam. An old gurney. Sunlight pouring in through the window. More to come.

Even though the sun is shining in, an eerie feeling still creeps along the surface if my skin thinking of what occurred inside.
