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.
