On my way from Toronto to Chicago, I decided to swing past Detroit and go crazy with the camera. I’d heard that Detroit was looking pretty surreal these days, with rows upon rows of abandoned buildings everywhere, and nature slowly creeping back and reclaiming the land.
I spent about two hours there just shooting stuff… I fucking love this camera, and I’ve been having a ton of fun with it; expect more stuff like this coming up for Badlands and Yellowstone.
Big ups to Rus from Savannah who hooked up the info to locate good spots to shoot. This is Detroit today, a snapshot of the decaying America we all hope we never get to see.
what must i do to be saved?
Well that’s an uplifting way to start my day.
side note: when Detroit did their bid to get the superbowl, they took a night photo of the skyline and photoshopped bright windows on to abandoned buildings.
That is a really dope video, really well put together and digging the slow motion shots.
The bag…. it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw….
Seriously, that Mad Max stuff is scary as all hell.
You’re lucky to be alive. Because of the recession, urban Detroit today, is mostly populated by hordes of bloodthirsty cannibalistic killers, homeless people and werewolves. Get out while there’s still time! (Also stay away from Chicago. It looks exactly the same as this.)
^ I happen to know for a fact that C.H.U.D.s and werewolves don’t get along.
love the video music synchro at 2:14
