went downtown yesterday with a buddy. we saw some crazy crap, and i dont want to get into it. but heres a few pics. the old building im inside is the old packard building. its where they built packard cars way back when. its filled with homeless at night from what i hear. but we didnt see anybody there. i know the lighting is all blown out, but i think it adds to the feel of these pics.

EDIT. HERE ARE THE REST! this photobucket thing resizes everything funny. i dont understand it. probably because my pictures are actually different sizes. ah well, here goes.

7. shot of tiger stadium. they're tearing it down soon. its been closed down for a few years. some dude was gonna charge us $20 to get in to take pics, but we didnt bring cash with us, for obvious reasons. rofl.

same old camera. rebel XTi with the kit lense. same stuff if you were to buy it from best buy. i'd like a new lense, and a different editing program, but im still learning the camera. baby steps. i am happy with the results this time around.

Very nice pics.

Now go back for some night shots! lol :hahano: (kidding)

I've done some "urban spelunking" before. It can be fun, but it's usually not a good idea... most of the time you're trespassing to do it. :-/

Damn you should be in an art show. Thats real good. Just give the pics nonsensical names and call yourself "Rudolph Blue"

My friends and I broke into an old parking garage once when it was raining and set up some ramps so we could skate...and my friend was telling about about the week before where saw a hobo and just pulled a knife and stood there staring at him...

Safe to say the homeless people never bothered us again.

very cool pictures. 15 looks like it's a third world country or something. What editing software are you using?

BTW, if you set your max image size at "2 megabyte file size" on your photobucket account it won't screw with your sizing as long as the file size is smaller.

At least you shot the nice areas in Detroit. Seriously that shit is way too common in Detroit. I still go there every year for the autoshow, but what a shithole. Unfortunately we are there in the winter and it's not as easy to access those type of builders for shots. Plus it gets dark so early. The shitty areas aren't exactly the type of places you wanna hang out at night with $5k of camera equipment with only two people...

Oh, nice pics BTW. ;)

just photoshop elements. i dont even have the real version. the only thing i really did to all of them, is desaturate them. they came off the camera pretty close to how you see them.

thanks guys. and just a little history, the place, packard auto company closed down in 1958. its been sitting ever since i suppose. they used to have guards keeping people out of the building. but i guess in the past 6 months or so, they stopped the funding for them. so you can walk right in like 50 different doors throughout the outer perimeter. which makes it easy for ANYONE to get in. i suppose that adds to the creapy factor. we're planning on going to another place on sunday. gonna try and get atleast 2 more people to go with us this time. we were at this building for like 3 hours it seemed like, and we didnt put a dent in it. which is effing crazy. so we'll bring some more experienced guys with us that can show us around. rumor has it, there is an old motorhome somewhere on the premesis that some bums live in. and they had a section that was turned into a paintball arena. all sorts of shit to discover. im hooked.


but again, thanks for the comments. and thanks for looking.
