Merry Christmas, heading into 2012, a year I never thought would come. Meanwhile downtown Detroit, a streetside window on Woodward sends it’s bright light holiday chill into the air. Plenty of seats left for singing, souping and lecturing.

Scorned on the 4th of July
A couple images of abandonment, not in architecture, but humanity. Downtown Detroit at a July 4th celebration years ago…
Bigfoot, Pint Size
Sasquatch of the garden center; Detroit, MI.
Photobook “state fair” Now At Blurb
UPDATE: “state fair” Winner 2011 PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris, Bronze, People’s Choice
My new photobook “state fair” available at Blurb. Photo documentation of one of the last State Fairs held in Detroit, Michigan (2005) before funding ran out. Photographed with a Leica M6 on Fujichrome Velvia 100F 35 mm slide film, cross-processed into negatives.
Detroit Painting
Nestled there in the pines off of Woodward Avenue, downtown Detroit, a lovely painting. Steps from the sidewalk, out of all context. Part of a DIA “out of home” display. Near the Fox Theater.
SuperChurch Detroit
I see from South Woodward Ave. a new spire going up. If you could look around to the side of this construction you’d see that it spans a dozen or so football fields. I mean this is going to be big. HUGE.
International Bigtime Wrestling Selects
Finally, a few selects from last year’s International Bigtime Wrestling event in Mexicantown, Detroit. There was wonderful food, fake blood (no really), fantastic showmanship, and some menacing escaped convicts just hanging out with the kids. Originally posted about this back in July, 2009.
Start A Juicy Day
At the counter of an area Coney Island. A hint of health behind (or in front of) every chili cheese fry and coney dog.
Service Call
A lone service call in the middle of an empty Motor Mall in Warren, MI. There are several lots around here, linked together by similar No Trespassing/Electronic Surveillance signs.
Downtown Detroit Deer
Downtown Detroit, 2009: a herd of deer were spotted in chalk on the side of a building badly in need of rescue (both building and deer). Much like the lion van below, these creatures are penned safely behind a fence. Of sorts.
