Boarded up office in Ellis Island Abandoned Hospital | Limited Edition of 10
Empty room with a radiator and window in an abandoned room
Within the abandoned hospital on Ellis Island, I came across a hauntingly beautiful scene - a boarded-up office that stood frozen in time. The peeling paint and cracked walls bore witness to the countless stories and lives that once filled these halls. The faded remnants of furniture and equipment hinted at the long-forgotten functions of the space, inviting the viewer to reflect on the passage of time and the impermanence of human endeavors.
The abandoned Ellis Island Immigrant psychiatric hospital. The historic facitity was the first public health hospital in the United States. The hospital was opened in 1902 and operating until 1930.
Ellis Island, located in the Upper New York Bay, was once the busiest immigrant inspection station in the United States. The abandoned hospital complex, now a part of the National Park Service, stands as a testament to the island's rich history and the millions of immigrants who passed through its doors in search of a better life. This photograph captures the eerie beauty and poignant emotions that linger within these hallowed walls.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
