Morgue

Beautiful.

Wow... as awesome as this is, it is also very chilling! Your work is amazing! Very deep series, Murray... very well done.

Pain, nothing but pain. Wow great job of capture and speaking the truth with your art. The pain the people who had to be there due to illness, and the pain of those people who really wanted to help others but were also trapped in the hell with them and could not.

Murray, this photo series is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. They are all classics and should make you famous, if there's any justice in the world. But of course, there isn't, which is why such places exist(ed).

Artistically this is a masterpiece and somehow reminds me of one of my favorite William Merritt Chase paintings...the structural elements. On the emotional side this is the kind of place I have spent my life keeping our son out of and writing and speaking and lobbying so that these kinds of congregate dying places cease to exist. Monitoring the alternatives is not easy either! Good luck with your project. A picture is worth a thousand - or more - words.

Murray, this series of photographs is chilling - right to the bone! I do believe in ghosts, and I'm sure that there were many there with you when you took these photos. They were probably guiding you to take photos that reflect the horror of their time in that very ugly place. I have a feeling that even at its best, it was an ugly place! Do YOU believe in ghosts?

Your choices of shots in this dilapidated building impart both a sense of propulsion toward the dreadful entity that this was as well as a quiet, searing critique. In the case of this building, it's as if the deterioration is a revelation about its role in history.

I love this series. It really tells a story the world needs to know.
