This weekend, I was in my friend Brittney's student film for Biola. We went to shoot at an abandoned building that was once part of a mental hospital (which is now Cal State Channel Islands). The lighting of this picture adds to the general spookiness of the entire place since there is no one obvious source of light that can be seen. The white walls reflect the color of the clouds above them, a mixture of whites, blues, and blacks. The lack of green in the grass reminds you that you are in a place that once was habitable, but now only yellow, dead patches survive. The only hint of green is the weeds that soak up all the water that may have allowed for life. The dark gray asphalt leaves a sign that there is obviously a way to get out, with the tragedy that no one in the hospital was allowed to leave on their own freewill.

You can write a book or movie just from your description of the photo - very spooky and sad
