Does anyone leave there? ><

Wow.. nice shots...
But Detroit looks ery Scary this way! :P

The 3d picture is the best I think.
Great collection.

Nice job portraying the economy in Detroit. I feel sorry for the motor-city families.

Amazing shots! Love them all, especially the second one (from top to bottom). I wish I could have them in wallpapers size to set 'em in my desktop :)
Parabéns!

Pretty shots!Like this style of photography

Wow, awesome pic!

Great pics... reminds me of the ghost towns in nevada!!

Oh Detroit...you can only go up from here.

If I may, here are a few images from a couple of urban exploration trips I've taken in Detroit. The city, or what's left of it, is a truly scary place to visit.

D-Town always reminded me of what gotham city would look like, especially in the winter time. Its sad Detroit was once a great city now fallen to ruin.

I actually live a few miles from Detroit in the suburbs, and do appreciate these images as many are places I have grown up seeing. It is interesting to see, however, that they show such a gloomy portrayal of the city- yes the city has an enormous amount of abandoned buildings and houses and "the D" has been portrayed as one of the most dangerous cities in the US. People don't realize these area of Detroit aren't seen by many visitors and that downtown Detroit is actually looking better and a reasonably safe area.

The photography though and the ability to capture the run down areas is amazing and I would love to something similar with my work- perhaps portraying both the run down aspect, and the new downtown.

Damn is it me or is detroit dead? damn what a mess..

Nice pictures though, its cool to shoot at that sort of locations!

Don't be confused by these pictures. Detroit is a great place. These spots are old factories and alleys for the most part. Places like this exist everywhere. Don't be afraid of Detroit, you will not find any love like you will in Detroit. We makes zee Techkno =D

YES I agree with Will all of these pictures are of the dirty abandoned part of detroit I live here and there is a lot of growing that is it going on through out the city, beautiful buildings, parks and creativity that bring people to the city... I think some of there pics are very cool but all of them are showing the nasty dirty part of the city... I can't say that, thats an original idea... Detroit is a lot of fun with a ton of history I would watch I think we all are going to see some great things come out of detroit in the next few years... PKV its you because detroit is defiantly alive and well.

Could you MAYBE find a few photos of Detroit that don't make it look like a war-torn Iraqi landscape? There ARE areas of Detroit that are beautiful and Michigan isn't all slums, ghettos and abandoned buildings.

Thanks for making it look so crappy. Assholes.

Excellent photos. Really shows the decay that was hit Detroit hard. Sad to ses this and know so many others are living a life of luxury. Go figure...

Enjoyed these shots immensely. Prefer the black and whites. Color in a photo has its own power and often overwhelms the story as it tends to do in these images.

I used to live close to Detroit in one of its Suburbs, and yes every year Detroit gets worse and worse, it is really a shame since they tried on many occasions(I.E. Built new casinos, New Stadiums for Football & Baseball, also GM has tried to rebuild the so called Waterfront, ect...) to bring more people down to Detroit to help re-vitalize it but it really is a lost city in so many different ways and honestly needs to be scrapped and just start all over again from scratch.

Wouw amazing shots! Detroit seems like ghost city.. :$

capitalism at its finest

First 3 are of the train station. I have been there. Very sad to see that great hall fall to pieces.

The Saranay Motel and Luxury Lanes are not in Detroit. The Saranay is in a nice area and although I do find your picture really cool and nice your giving off the wrong message.

Yes People still live there, termapix. I live nearby. It is a great city for urban exploring and the downtown is safe.

The central terminal is a popular and interesting shot!
Few months ago I was there and took a photo and did some photoshop manipulation to it.

The third picture, of the train station, reminds me of an old song from a long time ago, a few years, but whatever. (:
Look up this song:
Stay together for the kids - blink 182
Look for the old new verision. The station looks excactly like the abandoned building.

Reminds me of Asbury Park New Jersey, a few years ago.

Haunting images of the abandoned areas of the City of Detroit. Excellent thought provoking photography. Drive down any main thoroughfare in Detroit and you will find this kind of neglect everywhere. You can also drive a few miles and you are in a nice neighborhood in Detroit. This is not the entire picture of the City of Detroit.

The Saranay Motel is in Royal Oak, MI and Luxury Lanes is in Ferndale, MI. These are prospering communities north of the City of Detroit.

The 16th photo of the abandoned store fronts with the tree and overgrown weeds is unbelievable. People need to see something from Robinwood Street. A photographer's photo set from Robinwood Street: http://www.flickr.com/photos/buckshotjones/3555047473/in/photostream/

I have rolled through Detriot before and yeah its pretty bad. There were bums on bunkbeds under the highway viaducts.

Its is really sad.

Yeah, this is the RUINS of the city. But it has a lot of great places too. I went to the Red Bull Air Race there over the weekend and it was a blast! Here are some of my pics from the trip, a much nicer Detroit. :)

Fantastic animation! Very charming :)

I am back to SOCIAL FASTING, after having too many boring conversations with travellers that are fishing for that "You are so intelligent" compliment from other travellers.

I really want to learn Japanese language but the thing is I dont know how to go about it. The main problem is I dont have any disposable money due to being unemployed at the moment, therefore leaves me with alot of free time. With the free time I have I would like to do somthing productive with it (besides looking for a new job which is proving to be quite difficult at the moment) and learn Japanese.

When we went looking for an apartment here a couple years ago, we had two primary considerations in addition to the usual ones: walking distance from a Red Line subway stop, and fiber-based Internet access. The latter is easy to spot if you know what to look for, starting with too many wires on the

How do you count almost 40 million handwritten paper ballots in a matter of hours and declare a winner? That's a key question in Iran's disputed presidential election.

A coworker was just talking to me about a new type of savings account the Canadian government has set up for ‘09, called the Tax Free Savings Account or TFSA.I’m not much of a financial expert, but here’s what I know. An RRSP has limitations. While the contributions are tax-deductible, taking money out is taxable.

What's the cheapest anyone here has actually gone for a year on without really having to work & what kind of places were you able to go? I'm just asking basically what would be the cheapest you could do an RTW on?

Hi,
Earlier I posted a “solution” to a problem where I couldn’t export. I searched high and low, running through DLLs and assembly references. I thought I had it working by changing the DLL of one assembly reference the to version 10 reference (CR 2008 is version 12). I stopped the post there. Later, I realized

at least they have a good hockey team?

makes me so sad to see the city in this condition. real sad thing is it looked like that 20 years ago when I left.

thanks to Detroit for inventing TECHNO!

I like how any place could look amazing with the right touch of a photographer. This is very nice!

Seems like an awesome place to go urban exploring. If I had the chance I would defiantly ue there.

Awesome photos.

Hauntingly beautiful
