Detroit Nocturne

In many rust-belt cities like Detroit, people's lives often hang in the balance as neighbourhoods support and provide for each other through job creation, ad hoc community involvement, moral and spiritual support, and a well-honed Do-It-Yourself attitude. With all the media attention about Detroit's rebirth and revival, it is important to note that many neighbourhoods throughout the city have managed to survive against the odds for years, relying on local merchants and businesses that operate on a cash only basis who have stuck it out through decades of economic decline. These nocturnal images offer a chance to view the locations in an unfamiliar light and offer a moment of quiet and calm reflection.
