He plays a convincing dead. I think I can smell him.

I so want that sign to add to the random collection of stuff my brother and I have "borrowed" over the last 20 or so years.

So umm...

I'm not trying to be rude or anything...

But does all of Detroit look like that?

Those pics of Ford Field in the background make me miss when I use to go to Lions games a few years back. Wonderful stadium.

Great job as always. Some of those would look great as a desktop background, or even up on my wall. Excellent stuff.

From what Ive heard it's quite a run down place in the most part due to the decline in the motor industry.

But I have never been so I maybe completely wrong! I would love to visit though.

Two of those black and white shots of the buildings downtown look like they're from the set of a King Kong movie.

Nice work, though! There's some really neat ones in there.

As far as Detroit goes, there are parts of it that are rather nice, and there are parts of it that are run-down, much like any city, IMO.

The rat photo would make a good "FAIL" poster...

Very nice shots!

Very nice work yet again man. You have a tendency to frame-in your photographs like I view my environs with my mind's-eye...so I truly appreciate it in that capacity.

Nice.

Yup, you're about right.

With the motor industry falling out Michigan as a whole is just bad (not necessarily crime wise in all parts, but financially). It's really a shame too. Just a beautiful state and IMO home to some of the nicest people.

There are some parts are very beautiful... and some parts that are very unsettling.

...But Saint Andrew's Hall, The Majestic Theatre, and the Magic Stick make up for it.
