Detroit Photo of the Day

[Michi]

Michi, you're becoming such a show-off.

I know. They are all photos I haven't shown before in any of my threads I've made. I wouldn't want then to go to waste now.

[MJLO]

Wow the Whitney is amazing on the inside. I can't believe there is all this unused space Downtown. These buildings are gems. When i'm a billionare, they will all be filled with my employees.

[Michi]

Well, what will your employees be doing?

Michi, you are a showoff. Awesome pictures!

[Michi]

I can't help it. All my photos will go to waste.

[RustTown]

Michi, that photo is AMAZING!

The Fisher Building is easily one of the most underappreciated buildings in the country when discussing the best pre-war architecture. You always hear about the Tribune Tower in Chicago, but never about the Fisher Building.

The spire of a grimy old water tower against the shining spire of one of Detroits most beautiful buildings. Excellent composition Michi!

[Michi]

Oops, nevermind.

Thank you, though!

Wolverine posted a few nice Whitney shots so I figured I would do the same from my excursion.

Now from the roof

Sorry about there being so many. I couldnt just pick a couple. I really do think that this will be the next dinosaur that gets redeveloped. Its in very good condition, and in a great location.

That's just friggen gorgeous. Unfortunatly, I don't know the backstory on why it is not occupied. Any chance somebody could give me a real quick lesson.

[tapezord]

don't you ever feel sorry about a spread like that... outstanding!

Damn, I would move in there tomorrow, electricity or not. That thing is spectacular. I hope something is done with it before the glass breaks and water starts doing damage.

[Michi]

Speachless!

Capitol Park has SOO much potential...its sad reallly. Hopefully things will change w/ transit terminal and BC/Lafayette.

That yellow cell phone add on 1001 was gone last night when I went to the tigers game...anyone know what happened?

[Michi]

Though that part of 1001 is great for advertisements, that banner was for the Super Bowl, and I'd imagine the contract to have it up expired with the city. I wasn't a big fan of it. The Ikea one in Cadillac Square looks better with softer colors.

WOW, those are gorgeous photos Zissou!

such a beautiful building

[angel]

AWESOME PICTURES Zissou!

[RustTown]

Great Pictures! Though, I'd like to see the original versions before the photoshopping.

[Zissou]

Not a problem Lmich. Here are the interior shots before I PS'd them. They are still good but I like how you get to see much more of the detail in the PS'd versions, which is why i did that.

[RustTown]

No, I meant of the ones that are the most heavily photoshopped, the last two.

[Zissou]

Bustin' my ball Lmich, bustin' my balls. I dont have the originals up on Flickr, ill do that then post them for you.

[Zissou]

Here they are. I actually used the same effect as the interior shots on these. Comerica Park was made a little more dramatic and I really just liked the surreal look of the skyline.

[hudkina]

Photoshopped or not, these are great!
