For my first exploration since moving to New Orleans, theshortestsim, urbexkeith, and a couple of their friends took me to this amazing location! It was early, it was hot, but it was so much fun and this is a great group of people. Totally worth the dehydration and fatigue.

Lots more in the Flickr link at the top of the post. Thanks for looking!

OK New Orleans is definitely on the list for the next America trip.

I still need to get back here and shoot that theater. Nice job.

Looks like you had some unique although creepy finds here; between the dolls and the plastic covered cribs definitely weirded me out a little. Thanks for sharing!

Is that human tissue on nr 25?!

23 looks like a very primitive Sonic Screwdriver.

Excellent pictures one and all. I really need to make my way down there one of these days.

Thanks, everybody!

Yes, yes it is.

Photos like this make me upset i don't live closer to NOLA. Lalani these are Awesome! The machines, the tools, the meds... Really cool!

Thanks!

Great stuff here, Lalani! There is even power in the building in case your phone is low on juice

I see that you saved the best one for last...
What is that on #27? Fancy play with light angles, or are those devices hot with power running through them?

Thanks, man! That room was one of the last ones we saw and the lighting was beautiful. Those lights were powered and on, and the windows are tinted purple, so together they created a pretty cool effect. That's my favorite shot from the trip!

Too much work to obscure the patient's name on 25, eh?

Great shots and atmosphere. Love abandoned hospitals/clinics. Neat to see machinery, implements, etc.

Damnnnn! I need to hit this one up asap.

DANG...this is a COOL location! Wow..all the stuff you found is photography GOLD!! Did you find any patient files? I'd love to come across some of those to read through! Great compositions as well, I love the one of the group from the hallway mirror!

Thank you! I actually didn't look too closely at most of the paperwork. I'm always more intrigued with the items that are left behind.

Fucking. Awesome.

Daaamn! I love all of the little objects <3 And was the lift actually still operating?

Didn't try it. Security is really tight, so we had to be extremely quiet the whole time. Didn't want to make any unnecessary noise!

Fantastic set !!

#27 is my fave too
