Detroit Window

Today two friends and I drove around Detroit and checked out a few areas with abandoned buildings. As a kid, and even now, I was always pretty fascinated by what I could see out my window. On our way up to Boston from Virginia to visit family, I remember my favorite part of the drive was through New York on I-95 because of the landscape. I know cities have their good parts and their rough parts, but Detroit is ridiculous right now. I think I saw more houses burned down, vacant or dilapidated in some way than occupied homes. These photos were all shot through the window while riding in the back seat throughout the city.

I like the idea of shooting as a passenger in a car, something I ought to do. I frequently come upon scenes while driving that I wish I could shoot, but it's hard to grab a camera in time at 35mph in traffic. #18 would be one such scene.
