More Urban Relics

a few more, what a beautiful place.









Urban Relics



Michigan Central Station
A cool workshop I attended yesterday in Downtown Detroit, absolutely LOVED it!
The old abandoned rail station and an old bridge abuttment with graffiti and a homeless person (felt horrible), it was an amazing experience. Here's one I've edited so far, more to come later.

Skateboarders, silhouette, and black & white





These skateboarders were great fun to watch. Below I was playing around with black and white, and the hue slider.




This is a statue of a family, and the the girls went up and pretended to be part of them.

A Few Shots of a Birthday









This party was 2 weeks ago and I just got around to preparing the photos...which is just what they are, family snapshots for scrapbooking...but I wouldn't have missed this for the world. A fun group of kids, Kokomos, and a limo to get them there because that was the only way we could fit 12 kids into a vehicle. Most of our parties are NOT this elaborate but we needed a special one this year...Hope you had a blast Abby!

One Day During Lunch....












I am fortunate to work in such a beautiful city, where I can escape from the stress in just a few minutes time and relax and enjoy the world around me. There are parks with water and birds of all kinds everywhere. Here's a few from the other day. I'm trying to work again with lightroom for my processing, looks like I may have blown a few whites... back to the drawing board!
