About the Old Abandoned Nazareth Hospital in Mineral Wells, Texas<\/h3>\n

The old abandoned Nazareth Hospital in Mineral Wells operated from 1931-1956 but, I think the building may be older than that. It was considered a clinic and opened shortly after the Crazy Hotel opened its doors in 1927. For more information about this old building, check out the write up<\/a> I did on my personal site.<\/p>\n

About the Image<\/h3>\n

When this shot was taken, the backside of the building was in the shadows so it was difficult to get the details and the angle I was looking for. But after a little cropping and post processing, I am pretty happy with it. For more images of the building, check out my article on my personal blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shot taken with a Sony Nex-3N\/B<\/a> w\/ E 16-50mm f\/3.5-5.6 OSS PZ kit lens<\/a>. I then processed it with Adobe Lightroom<\/a> to crop, straightened, and remove dust spots from the image. After that, I post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity<\/a> to add more texture, remove shadows, boost brightness and contrast.<\/p>\n
