Dear Mr. Dwag,
Judging from the answers you've given to other question, I will assume you are a bit of a rocker.
...a x,y or z Generation free thinker, a man of the world beside a point of view that is to say at once practical and exploratory.
To that end, may I suggest you activity to flickr.com. There you can search by the type of Detroit you'd resembling to photograph.
For example, you can search by DetroitAlley and up pops a mixture to choose from; likewise you can investigate DetroitDecay, DetroitBeauty, DetroitGarden, etc.
Flickr now have a feature where on earth the photographer can link their pix to google map, so once you click on a subject you will be able to find where on earth that photo was taken.
Pretty trim.
You don't have to sign up flickr to search, nor do you money to look at any of the pix. Essentially, you can use flickr as a scouting tool, thereby making the most of your time here in d-town.
I do suggest that you stir with someone else. As the shooter it is difficult to see everything and drive at matching time. There are groups -you can check yahoo groups or search the network - that get together for photo safari. If one doesn't exist you can start your own group.
Have fun clicking.
For a tie trip, back surrounded by 1997 or so, we all rode on this People mover. The buildings and the artwork be amazing, Worth every bit of the dollar ride. I takes you over the interesting parts, resembling Ford theater, the stadium, and other points of interest. Goregous when I was 17, so it can with the sole purpose be better now.
I'm not from Detroit but from what I own seen the best photo shots you can bring are of:
Downtown Detroit (Comerica Park , Ford Field , HockeyTown Cafe on Woodward Ave. , The Fist , Spirit of Detroit statue. & RenCen building etc)
Belle Isle park
Ambassador Bridge from either Winsdor or Detroit side.
Michigan State University
Detroit People Mover (if take into custody it on time)
Be sure to travel with someone. A few of these areas want one person shooting and one entity watchng the area, but most are locked in daylight unless noted.
Merely driving around by chance for an hour or two should find you a location.
Corktown and the area around St. Trinity may be fun for you.
Eastern Market (Russell St. and Gratiot).
Belle Isle.
Anywhere along the waterfront, i.e. Hart Plaza and the industrial areas.
Greektown, Mexicantown.
I once took an english prof. on a tour of the industrial districts contained by southwest Detroit and Delray. Oh Delray and Zug Island is a sight to see surrounded by the Southwest section. Take someone beside you because the area is hauntingly creepy.
There's a few cemeteries.
Wyandotte is worth a drop by for its industry and residential mix.
The Livernois rail yard and area around the forsaken train railroad station. John Kronk St. comes to mind.
The area of St. Aubin and Warren have a serene decayed allure around St. Albetus Church. Security useful but extra. Beautiful desolation and decay around said decaying church. Also, you enjoy an abandoned (afaik) stub of the GTW RR that once go from the river through Eastern Market (below street level, biddable pictures there) to Pontiac. I believe the rails of that stub strip have be removed in a portion of what is informally call the Dequindre line because it runs parallel to Dequindre over at hand. You are also near the Incinerator, an nouns that I've always needed to take pictures of.
Then in that are industrial districts around Highland Park and Hamtramck. Security recommended.
The Cass Corridor (Cass is a few blocks west of Woodward) has the GAR, which is right subsequent to the Leland. The GAR looks like a castle. The Leland houses Detroit's oldest, continually operate Goth club and a techno club, both of which are open enormously, very slowly. Cass will make the outsider get the impression unsafe if they aren't ready for it because it have a reputation for being intensely tough and desolate.
Avoid Royal Oak. Ferndale tends to enjoy a lot of colorful, artistic individuals hanging out along Nine Mile.
Of course, don't forget to bring a drizzly suit when you go to photograph South Detroit.
I agree with Bill. Go to Flickr.com. I'm not from Detroit, but I do own a friend from there. But Flickr.com have excellent photos of old houses and buildings.
The Heidelberg Project
There's plenty of historic areas that show the Detroit that once was
Some thinking in this community: http://community.livejournal.com/detroit...
Be scant :)
Nothing in actual fact in Detroit unless you wanna see forsaken buildings. Downtown Detroit is decent, the Renaissance Center & the riverfront on looking Canada.
