Charity Hospital

A few months back I took this shot of the old Charity Hospital.

Charity Hospital

It’s abandoned since Katrina, and there’s talk of using it for residential purposes. My grandmother learned nursing at Charity in the 20’s, in the old wooden buildings.

These buildings (or this building) has served since the building sprees during the great depression, and remains as an iconic sense of art deco architecture, and/or of loss, depending on how one looks at it. It’s huge, and inside the hospital is made of of long wards in many areas. Covered in mildew, and rotting at the seams, it stands as a silent witness to indecision.

But why not look at the bright side: it’s got lots of potential.

City Hall

City Hall.

You can’t fight it. But you certainly admire it’s majestic beauty.

Can’t you?

The Talker

This guy. He just talks to the pedestal all day.

It makes one wonder… and give thanks for life’s blessings.

The Red Tree

The 365 Project continues.

I snapped some photos through the day, and the big things happening today were a fiesta for Fr. Bob, who is the alumni of the year at Holy Cross School, and the Saints game.

This red tree is down the street from a friend’s house where I watched the Saints game. Dunno why it’s red. Didn’t want to ask when they came out to marvel at my taking a picture of it. Didn’t have any other pics to post, even though I tried to make this a bit interesting and artsy. I tried!

I was tempted to use this. It’s a light bulb that reminds me of an old TV show from the 60’s called the Prisoner. There’s a huge white bulb type thing which comes up from the sea, and… that’s about all I remember because I never did like the show. For some reason it also reminds me of Dr. Who.

But, the Red Tree it is for today’s exercise.

Shalom.

Thursday's Picture

Well we can see what happened here.

I took a picture Wednesday night, posted it Thursday on my 365project site, and am just getting around to posting it here tomorrow. That is, today, because yesterday today was tomorrow, but now it’s history. Of course.
