The former Fever/Chest Hospital, Wellington, October 2011: The Fever Hospital was built by the Wellington Hospital Board in 1919 for the treatment of infectious diseases. In the 1940’s tuberculosis broke out so the hospital primarily focused it’s treatment on TB patients. I found out in discussions with my father,that my great Aunt Patricia spent some time there… As a nurse she had contracted TB herself and actually had it on two seperate occasions… Canon EoS 30D/18-55is/24-70 f2.8 L/24-105 f/4 IS
Striking images – the empty chair in the empty room always evokes such strong emotion.
I couldn’t have put it better myself- cheers!
What great photos. And so evocative. The first ones with the muted colors set a certain stage, and then the shock of the colored photo, which brings me back to a more modern day. Love the empty chairs in the photos. And the last photo with the man. Just a wonderful set of photos here. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great images Fergus! I really enjoy the second photo with all the light coming through the windows. But also, I like the way you captured the ghost having a break on one of the chairs in the last image : )
Do I detect a fixation with chairs? 🙂
An excellent series; I really like these. Very moody and lots of chairs which I love.
