Detroit Portraits
If you've noticed the onslaught of national media attention and the photographs posted to many tumblr sites and photo blogs...you might believe Detroit is already dead and decayed into ruins…there's no hope for this city…Detroit's too screwed up.
But I know differently...Detroit is not dead…I know this because I've been documenting Detroit's future...I've been photographing Detroit's people.
I believe strongly that the future of Michigan very much depends upon the future of Detroit. Perception matters. Photographs and stories can help to shape perception. Perception can become reality.
