Niece had her first communion this morning.

First shot was a test shot getting my settings right. Had originally setup for flash, but found out that was out. Still had the camera on f8 while I cranked my ISO to get a good setting. This one just popped in Lightroom

Had a few hours to kill yesterday,When heading south into downtown Detroit, Michigan, there is a point which an old church and the GM Renaissance Center align. It's tough to find a good vantage point to take a shot.

Here is my attempt.

Only half of the lights are on during the Spring hockey training season (ends this weekend). Snapped a few before he wraps it up for the summer

I'm a bit late. Shot quite a bit these past two weeks, here are some favorites;


I've been learning a bit about Street Photography recently. Had my 35mm film camera out and about one day and ran out of film (the struggle is real :) ). Used my phone for this one.

From the same day with the Hi-Matic F and Tmax 400

One from the last roll through the Minolta XG1 for a while (Kodak Gold 200). I really enjoy the X-700 much better

Paid a visit to the Pontiac Silverdome this weekend. Former home of the Detroit Lions and Pistons.

I was there in the 70s for the open house when it was first built, attended countless Lions & Pistons games, monster truck shows and concerts. Home of Superbowl XVi.

Fast forward to 2015. Long abandoned and no longer protected by the inflated dome, it sits in decay. Suburban Blight is real.
