Arlene from United States
Interesting. Matt and I have been in sooo many examining rooms during the last two years that just seeing this puts me in one of the room with him. Such a simple pictures, yet it sure does evoke some powerful feelings in me.

@Arlene: I like the hall, truly lol ;)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I see a hall very similar to this one every four months; hope it was a routine visit and not a problem, sweet friend!
13 Sep 2008 7:56am
@Judy: No problem at all, just the usual, regular tests, some totally uncessary, some I don't go to, my doctor gets mad at me, I ignore it ;) lol I liked how the hall looked, well that day anyway!
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
With the title, this is quite a creepy shot....I too would be heading straight for the exit if they want to turn me into a blood-worm.

@Richard_Irwin: Tiny little pinch,nothing to worry about, plus I found the walls intriguing, no, no drugs ;)
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
A simple shot, but it really says it all. Hope all is well.
13 Sep 2008 8:18am
@GJC: All is well, just regular annoying stuff...but I liked the hall ;)
@António Pires: it was actually raining Antonio ;) but I liked the lines of the wall!
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Well seen, Lorraine. Great composition, making it a very pleasing image. (No problems with you, I hope.)

@Andrew Gould: Just the usual...boring stuff, but I liked the walls ;)
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
J'étais en train de regarder cette photo quand Franck passait dans le coin et m'a dit "ça me fait penser à un tableau d'Edward Hopper". Alors j'ai trouvé que c'était un beau compliment. Hopper est un peintre réaliste qu'il aime beaucoup, est-ce que tu connais ?
13 Sep 2008 9:27am
@Evelyne Dubos: Non, mais je vais aller voir, c'est sur lol ;) remercie Franck de ma part :)
John Wilson aka MontereyJohn from Salinas, CA, United States

@John Wilson aka MontereyJohn: Hey John, easy as pie...:)
Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
I agree this image is so simple but evokes so much feeling "run Forrest run"!!! I hope you are ok Lorraine?
13 Sep 2008 11:31am
@Kylie Greenan: I'm just fine Kylie, I think the blood test room is in need of money ;)
Betty from New Jersey, United States
This would be a really nice hallway shot... if it didn't have that title! Well done, Lorraine!
13 Sep 2008 11:38am
@Betty: What's wrong with a little blood, I kinda liked the walls, thanks Betty ;)
MJ from Delaware, United States

13 Sep 2008 1:09pm
@MJ: Isn't it a neat hallway lol thanks a lot Mj ;)
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Kind of ominous, and yeah, I know this feeling and similar hallway.
I hope all is well with you Lorraine.
13 Sep 2008 1:21pm
@bluechameleon: I'm just fine Blue, they're in cahoots you know doctors and clinics and stuff, they just want money, and blood is about all they'll get from me lol ;)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Well dear friend, I hope this is nothing but a routine procedure. Stay well, and many blessings to you from Bella and me.
13 Sep 2008 3:57pm
@Viewfinder: Hey Vf, hi sweet Bella, thanks so much, I'm fine, just regular stuff....the clinic needs money, and blood is the only thing they'll get out of me lol
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
cette photo me trouble énormément, car je ne sais pas l'interprétrer, et j'éprouve un malaise ...
j'espère que tu as pris l'"exit", sourire aux lèvres !!! et que tout va bien pour toi ...
il ne s'agit pas de la photo, elle est remarquable, juste mon ressenti, cela fait 4 fois que je la vois, toujours le même effet ...
bisous Lorraine
13 Sep 2008 5:07pm
@marianne: J'aime le corridor lol Bonjour Marianne, tout va bien ici, c'est du 'stuff' régulier...la clinique a besoin d'argent ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
umm, routine I hope. Still it gives one that awful feeling of anticipation when you go into a hospital for any procedure .. Good one Lorraine.
13 Sep 2008 5:15pm
@Marion: All routine and oh so boring, just a clinic though, thanks Marion ;)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A beautiful composition with lovely colors. Great observation to notice this one, Lorraine.
13 Sep 2008 5:42pm
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot Michael, I liked the walls with the silly colours ;)
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Yep, I'd be running for the exit door... hehe
13 Sep 2008 6:05pm
@Fliss: lol sometimes it's a good idea to run fast and far...I'm fine ;)
@Jasp: i think the colours are silly and the walls such fun to photograph, nothing ominous, unless you pass out on the sight of blood, I don't care...I'm fine, just regular stuff
@laughingwolf: ohhhh....go away
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Very coloured shot. But the title frightens me! Booo! Blood? No thanks, I pass.
13 Sep 2008 10:48pm
@Rui: Hey Rui, what's a little blood lol I'm fine, I think the clinic needed money, yeah, you have to pay for blood test, gosh!!!
alex centrella from California, United States
I keep looking at the EXIT sign ........... hope all is well..
14 Sep 2008 12:15am
@alex centrella: All is well, just routine stuff, aren't the walls awesome ;)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Nice wall sign, if you start to panic just run straight for the exit.
14 Sep 2008 2:21am
@Observing: Blood test doesn't bother me, just not being able to drink coffee pisses me off, so I had one anyway, I just drank it black ;) which is perfectly fine!
magiceye from Mumbai, India
simply stark. beautiful image. hope alls ok with you.
14 Sep 2008 2:29am
@magiceye: I'm fine, routine, boring stuff, I liked the walls though lol thanks a lot Magiceye ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Wow! This really hits home mon amie considering recent events and initiates some powerful feelings.
So simple yet so very effective!
14 Sep 2008 4:31am
@Janice Thomson: I'm sure it does ma chère, didn't bother me, I had a coffee (well make that 2) anyway, I jsut had it black, and the clinic-ian- thought it was just fine ;)
Margie from Auckland, New Zealand
Ok so...I've read all the comments now (quite a few!), taken note of the title, (pleased to hear it was all routine)... but you know what I thought when I first looked at this (before all the reading)?
"Wow, how cool, a fabulous signature shot...it goes so well with the name of her blog..."
:)
14 Sep 2008 11:30am
@Margie: lol I like that thanks Margie ;)
Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada

Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Couloir que je connais pas la décoration , mais l'ambiance .
15 Sep 2008 12:56am
@Siam: Merci beaucoup Siam, je te souhaite loin des corridors ;)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
beautifully ominous -- moody and secretive tones! great shot of the doctor's office hallway!!
15 Sep 2008 1:44pm
@dj.tigersprout: Just regular stuff, you know ;) lol
Barbara from Florida, United States
I like the colors and lines. It gives me a feeling that I don't really want to go to the end of that hall. That is for the blood work. I get it over with every few months too.
Proof you take your camera everywhere too.
15 Sep 2008 9:54pm
@Barbara: You got that right hun ;)
@terrorkitten: I'm staying Phil ;)
Ras from Plano, United States
Framing is spot on with the color matching the exit sign.
