DETROIT: Duality of the "D"

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

So much has been written about Detroit's glorious past and its current difficulties that I don't feel compelled to regurgitate it here except to say that beauty can be found in both the pretty and the gritty sides of the city. While "ruin porn" has become a dirty word to some, one must be careful to not take the grandiose pseudo-journalistic leap that urban decay represents the totality of Detroit. My photographs aren't intended to paint the city in a negative light or an overly rosy light either; they are simply captures of interesting places and moments in time.

Pow! The Joe Louis Fist sculpture welcomes you to the D.
