More 313.



working printing only. More to come, just trying to get through the edit. We shot a lot of material this time around. Hoping to have the project completed by end of the year and get things underway for publishing and then exhibiting the work around.

rockbottom city




Just got back from some more photos in the D. My brain was sore after spending only a few days in Detroit. It's hard to understand the depth and breadth of the situation there unless you really go. I actually enjoy it there because there is something very raw about the city. It's almost like driving in the country; open, desolate and lawless. I never really think of it this way but a great dude at the lab I use sometimes coined the phrase "rockbottom city" and I suppose it's true. Still, it is sad to realize that beyond the visual stimuli and the decay, people still have to live there everyday. It's a tough place and I think many people would like to see Detroit really persevere and rise up again. We'll see.
I'll post some outtake shots and some video soon.
