Hi Radel,

Yup, this was shot on Fuji Reala 100. All my stuff from detroit is on film...I didn't even have my 20D with me. I just had a Canon A1 I bought used just for the trip.

This is a great shot, but the star definitely is the sky here. Nice.

That's too beautiful of a building to be abandoned like that, but that's the way Detroit is.

You always find these "Grandiose" angles.Good ability to turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

Blue Skies over MCS

The next stop for the Massholes after conquering the Wurlitzer was the massive Michigan Central Depot, also known as Michigan Central Station (MCS). With construction finishing in 1913, this imposing train terminal was designed by one of the early 20th century's most significant architecture firms, Warren and Wetmore, in partnership with another prominent firm of the time, Reed and Stem.
