Detroit - Some find you ugly, I find you beautiful

speedracer04

Up until this last weekend I have never really explored Detroit, I spent a lot of time finding cool locations in Cleveland while in school but never Detroit. I know it may be strange to some but I really find beauty in old forgotten places. Here are a few of my photos, I hope to start spending a lot more time exploring soon.

Agreed
I 100% agree with you. I LOVE Detroit and all of its beauty. Maybe it's because I grew up in Michigan and know its history that I love it. Either way, your pictures are spot on.

If you find that beautiful, you would have loved the South Bronx in the late 70's, early 80's.

From the photos I have seen I really would have. I know a lot of people don't feel the same way I just love the whole idea of the storys the buildings and locations could tell, this then just lets my mind go wild. Plus I sort of think of it like how a parent (almost) always has unconditional love for their child and always sees the best in there faults.

Number 4 is quite the cool capture!

#1 and #4 are really cool!

I like the shoe in the foreground in #1 - as beat up and abandoned as the building. Maybe a little more contrast? It seems a bit bright, but that could just be my monitor. Also, try B&W.

I like the juxtaposition of the graffiti and tires in #4. And the composition is excellent.
