Jon Crispin's Notebook

I spent a lot of time in the Contagious Disease Hospital wing at Ellis Island on Wednesday.  The wards were set up much like a lot of the Kirkbride asylums in which I have photographed.  Some large ward rooms and some smaller single patient rooms.  This photo is from the autopsy room.  I took a shot from the lower angle which you can see below.

It is quite an evocative space.
