Read about the background for the demolition of Tiger Stadium in the following link: Tiger Stadium Demolition Resumes
Here are a few more photos taken on June 23, 2009.
That is me (shadow) using the fence as a frame.
All photos taken by Glenn Kujansuu with a Canon 40D camera and a Sigma lens.
On Monday June 8, 2009 the final court order was issued to remove the remains of Tiger Stadium in Detroit, MI.
Here are a few shots taken this morning. I was not the only one looker. Both photographers as well as ordinary people with a memory of the Stadium were witnesses.
Here is the Michigan Ave. view with the box office missing.
These two shots are also along Michigan Ave. and familiar entrance.
The remains along the 3rd base line show the exposed steel. This appears to the next point of the work.
The machines used for the demolition look like some prehistoric beasts.
Photographer and other witnessed were recording the final days of the the old Tiger Stadium.
Thanks to the use of the ladder above, I was able to capture this great shot.
I hope to capture more photos of these final days.
“The N.O.A.H. Project is a collaborative effort between Central United Methodist Church and Family Service, Inc., non-profit organizations believing the needs of the community, and the families who compose the community, can best be met through the cooperative efforts of those with diverse experiences, skills, and talents. The N.O.A.H. Project provides a nutritional bag lunch on Mondays and Thursdays between 10:30- 12 each week. N.O.A.H. also provides hygiene kits, clothing, referrals, spiritual support, regular workshops on a variety of issues, as well as creative arts programs on Mondays. Staff include a Project Coordinator/Social Worker, Parish Nurse, Bag Lunch/ Creative Arts Coordinator, and a Donations Coordinator.” This quote is from the web site - http://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org25310.jsp
I believe that one should volunteer both in their own community as well as the region that one lives in. I have the opportunity to use my photographic skills to help the N.O.A.H. Project . The idea will be to capture the faces of clients of this project and use these images in some meaningful way.
Below are some general shots taken the first day of my involvement.
Both a bag lunch as well as take a ways such as bread, potatoes, and fruit are provided to the clients
The meeting hall provides space for eating lunch and socializing.
Volunteers provide help to the permanent staff.
