I have so much fun with the old radioactive lens ☢️ it's so weird and perfect for my weirdness Hopefully my eyes don't fall out #Photography #color #concretecalligraphy #meditation #Detroit #radioactive #vintage

Is it perverse to photograph a UNESCO city of design this way? I think not #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #ConcreteCalligraphy #Detroit

It was a beautiful sunset last night. Soon, this skyline will be changing significantly and this will be but a memory. Like everything. #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #ConcreteCalligraphy #Detroit

I return to the same things and places a lot. Observation of how I see the world through my current state helps me remember that my state too is a passing perspective. #Photography #color #motion #meditation #Detroit

I'm so excited to have this! Olga is excellent and her work really resonates with me. #Photography #Streetphotography #books #OlgaKarlovac

My 'new' radioactive vintage lens has arrived. ☢️ I'm excited to see what it adds to my weirdness, or, what is removes. #Photography #Streetphotography #vintage #thorium #radioactive #radioactivephotography

“There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism.” *Walter Benjamin The fountain at #BelleIsle is said to be 'opening' next year. #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit

I think I'm enjoying shooting at night more lately Its easier to be dramatic and abstract. Two things I love to manifest #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit

I've been finding myself in an abstract headspace - my favorite headspace. Sometimes it's there if I can quiet my mind a moment. "The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." - G. K. Chesterton #Photography #color #motion #meditation #Detroit #abstract #red

More from #AbandonedChairs Since starting my alley exploring here, I have noticed that I'm seeing chairs in interesting places #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit #chair

"The more things are subtracted, the more the meaning that survives subtraction becomes absolute." * Ad Reinhardt Always alone #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #minimalismphotography #Detroit #chair #solitude

It's been fun pausing at intersections when biking around. ALSO, it's a less conspicuous way to linger and observe, being on a bike. At least it frees my mind. #Streetphotography #color #blur #motion #city #Detroit #bus

What a big surprise to find at the #Riverwalk There's much French history here, now visited by the ultra modern. #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #cruiseship #France #Detroit

“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” - Arthur Schopenhauer Whenever I'm out biking, my minds eye shifts. It's been so fun letting it lead me. #Photography #color #motion #meditation #Detroit #art #dream #memoory

It's huge, very imposing. I was using my crappy 50mm which I almost never use but it was nice not having a foot long camera lol #streetphotography #monochrome #motorcity #Detroit #blackandwhite #ships #Viking

"The eye altering, alters all." -William Blake A view from the night Riverwalk #Photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #meditation #Detroit #music #ConcreteCalligraphy

“Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one’s sensations.” -Paul Cézanne Another gorgeous evening unwinding at Belle Isle, and it felt like a dream #photography #sunset #blur #art #detroit #color #motion

The print studio had half off large prints so I got a huge blurry pigeon print 🐦 It's fascinating how much it changes from screen to physical. Try it if you haven't, it's a great experience #photography #prints #art #blackandwhite #birds
