Description
My first experience of a Self Storage facility, taking one of my new student lodgers to collect her stuff.
Surreal and bizarre!
I was reminded about the man who cut up his wife and stored her somewhere like this in Nebraska.
Kevin Miller was convicted in April 2015.

I like it!
My first impression was a maximum security prison. I just can't imagine being there and the lights turning off automatically after a certain number of minutes. The photo sure creates a surreal impression. But, the place isn't odor proof! So no storing of ex-wives here! Keep up the good work! :-)
Cool !
Interesting series of shots. The ones I've seen all have doors opening from the outside, no interior hallway.
Excellent perspective shot!
Great POV down the corridor Andrea :)
We put our furniture and belongings into climate-controlled storage when we sold our house and went on the road, and then had everything shipped to Texas when we bought the little place there. It was much like this, only with roll-up bay doors and wider hallways. It's kind of an echo-y, strange feeling to be in there, and you've captured it perfectly! I like the one with your friend as a purple specter, btw. :)
Very nice capture Andrea. It looks like a maximum security prison.
Very good
Spooky kinda place. Great work, Andrea.Hugs. Di. xx
Nice shot but the place looks clinical and unwelcoming.
All the pics have an aura about them!!!
remind me not to go
Think of all the worthless junk behind those doors. The key to freedom is getting rid of your stuff! :)
looks like the long walk!
Looks like something out of a horror film.
Quite good POV !
Stunning capture and post work Andrea. God bless.
Yes, it does look like a nightmare :-) I like the postwork.
Brrr. Kind of creepy place! But an excellent capture and PW!
I love that you ended your description with a report on a grisly murder---and then that the guy was caught. THAT'll wake up your customers. So this is your first experience with these fluorescent inner hells? I've been in a few, and they're like long eerie morgues. I expect to find dead bodies in all the rooms. Your 2 flickr shots are equal to this, and the one with the purple person, the inner-hell apparition? Terrific. This shot captures the whole essence of these neon-feeling hells: The semi-terrifying overhanging ceiling. The overdone laboratory light. The sterility. The lonnnnnng halls (and no one in them---who would hang out in these hallways?) The always dayglo colored somethings---in this case, the doors. ("It's Decor, madame.") The always silvery glows of the walls and floors. The always encouraging signs---like "Electric Shock". (I was in one that had a sign for a fallout shelter. That makes ya feel good.) And you got the lonnnnng reflection on the floor---that long white river of light---which makes the hall look like it's made of water or glass, and the apocalypse is on its way. And the angle at the front---where the wall juts to the right?---the perfect end for the piece. You captured it. This is how they look. Terrific work, Andrea.
(When I lived in Manhattan, I was in the Lower East Side, which---then---was a run down leftover from the migrations at the beginning of the 20th C. Dilapidation to perfection. And there were apartment hallways just like this. And lobbies. And subways. Grungy but eerie neon silvery white places. And they were like that 24/7, and people lived in them---homeless, as well as druggies and some hippies. And when you went into these place, you smelled grass (marijuana), opium, and god knows what else. And people would undulate to music, and make the place feel like a bacchanal from before the Flood. And---like here--no windows, no inkling of an "outside world". Manhattan felt that way, back then, a transported little universe, hermetically sealed from reality. That's what your picture feels like, and your postwork atomizes it to sci fi specs. You got it perfectly.
