Back From Detroit

I flew out of Detroit back to Boston last night.  Driving back from the airport felt completely different than any of the times we were driving though Detroit.  There was a calm and relaxed feeling that I was thrilled to feel again.  We hired a helicopter to take us over Detroit and the Packard plant specifically the last days we were there.  Here are a few shots of the Packard Plant from the ground and from the air.

More of Detroit

I must say I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity I have to be in Detroit right now.  It is an experience I will not soon forget; the city is like no other I have ever been to.  Despite the daily fires and multitude of vacant properties most people here are rich in pride of their city.  Every street we turn down has a person with a detroit shirt, and every vacant structure we explore has a hat or a flag or a poster of a once prosperous Detroit.  It is hard to comprehend, on an average night several vacant buildings are set fire to.  The empty Packard plant has a new fire in at least one part of the 3.5 million square foot facility at least once a day.  At times they burn for a week because the fire department has deemed the property structurally unsound, therefor the policy is to let the fire burn itself out.  The firefighters I have talked to give a multitude of reason the properties catch fire, local kids; evicted tenants seeking revenge; illegal tie-ins to electric lines; scrappers burning away materials for easier access to metals to be sold in junk yards.  It is most definitely an experience I will not forget.

Detroit

I am in Detroit for a job and get to spend a few extra days to photograph some of the abandoned buildings.  Within the first 20 minutes of being here we saw a police motorcycle run down by an SUV and an abandoned house that was set on fire.  While at one time Detroit must have been a magnificent city, many of the awe inspiring houses and buildings have been left empty.  Now these buildings are in various states of deterioration.

Tech Scout

Today at work we went to look at a location for an upcoming shoot.  The location was an abandoned shipyard that at one time was a Navy facility.  It has been abandoned for years, but still has many interesting remnants left.

I have a wonderful dog and a wonderful camera.  I don't play with either anywhere near enough.  I am going to start taking my dog on longer walks and road trips to different parks and ponds.  While I do this I am going to take my camera and photograph the things we see.  Every thursday I am going to post a photo of one of those things.
