小心D means be careful
有 means have
鬼 means ghost
so 小心D 有鬼 means "Be careful. There are ghosts."

forever doomed to illiteracy

Someone wrote a phonetic approximation for me once, but it was way too complicated for me to memorize. When the characters are not symmetrical, I can never remember how to write them- for example, "woman," the simplest and most essential character- can recognize, but never replicate.

ghosts

Out of curiosity, were you in the school on a job or just poking around? This post raised the hair on the back of my neck because I too find abandoned places evocative. One of my favorites is an old summer camp in North Carolina, the walls and rafters full of graffiti from kids starting in the 1920s. Their dreams of romance, the flush of excitement from being away from home - always makes me wonder if they return to that place in their waning moments. Little cabins gravid with memories. Haunts me.

Forgive me a cheeky moment, but is the number behind your head '1' or '3'?

Both times, I was there on a job. The whole crew had to climb through a hole in the fence and pull through these giant bags full of designer clothes, and tripods, and shit in after us. Some people on the crew were openly and vocally afraid to be in there!
Glad that you like the photos. Check this shit out.
Though I'll be spoiling the mystery for others like you, I need to know: why on earth would I write 3? Of course it is #1. "Elyse Sewell is #1."

I believe what the anonymous commenter above was referring to was your totally unwarranted 3rd place finish in ANTM season one. Cheeky, indeed. The rest of the world, however, knows Elyse Sewell is #1!

Hee - yep.

Lovely pictures - you've a nice eye for texture. Did you crop these or are they as you took them?

The second image (2893) I particularly liked, although I'd be heard pressed to articulate further at this point. I copied it to my computer for further contemplation - don't know if this is bad manners on this forum, but I won't pass it around.

And since I'm feeling like a parasite, have a look at http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=935305440205&photoid=568658111205 There's a neat story behind this picture.

That first picture is so cool... the second one too, of course, the but the first one is just eerie and amazing.
