Labor Day weekend in Detroit

The two end of summer festivals in the Detroit area are the Jazz Festival in Detroit and Arts, Eats, and Beats in Royal Oak, MI (many years in Pontiac, MI.). On Friday afternoon I was able to spent a few hours looking and listening. I captured shots of performers at 6 different venues and here they are.
All of the talent was professional, and polished.

Pre – Woodward Dream Cruise

The famous Woodward Dream Cruise will be on Saturday, August 21, 2010. As usual the pre cruise crowd has been showing off their machines many days in advance. Here are a few symbols that represent someone's pride and joy.

 

 

And last is one that might have hauled some of the cars to the showing.

 

See you on Saturday. All photos taken with a Canon 7D and post processed in Lightroom 3.0

Another visit to the Heidelberg Project

Every two years the Heidelberg Project holds a party and showing for the community. This year featured all of the works along with music, food, crowds, and more. Despite the threat of rain, people stopped to look at and marvel. The advent of the digital camera gave almost everyone the chance to capture shots of both the art work and the people. I saw camera phones, point and shoots, and high level DSLR’s being used to shoot anything and everything. Here are some of what I captured.

 

Who and what the project is about.

Newly planted garden.

 

 

Is that the Ozone hole over Antarctica?

 

Thanks to all of the nice people that I met.

Detroit – East Grand Blvd.

Detroit had a manufacturing base that was second to none in the world. That was many years ago. Now the remains of that title are empty old factory buildings and vacant fields. Here are a few examples that I shot yesterday.
