It's always interesting to see the world through another person's eye, especially when he or she takes you into a world that few see; that is what Matt Lambros does on a daily basis. Fascinated by decay, he has put together an impressive portfolio brimming with abandoned structures. His Hospitals series is especially captivating because of its dilapidated health system connotations.

Like the scene in 'Titanic' in which the ghostly corridors are suddenly flooded with memories of life, these eerie rooms make me wonder about what they once held and the people who once moved through them.
Matt Lambros does a wonderful job capturing the essence of each hospital.
