NOT MY PHOTOS BUT AMAZING TIMES WE LIVE IN...Detroit Today vs Chernobyl Yesterday

These are not my photos...and i rarely put others work up, but these images of Detroit are so shocking and amazing that i had to post them....then I started to think about when americans talk about the 3rd world, or disasters such as chernobyl...then  we should start looking in our back yard.

 

So i created this little montage!

These Detroit photos were shot by Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre

These are as haunting from as humanist perspective as they are beautiful from a photographic perspective.

I travel to Detroit 3 weeks out of every month and it's absolutely disturbing how run-down it is. The people area extremely friendly there, but the outllying areas (especially north of town, look like Beirut.

This is understandable that cash makes us autonomous. But what to do if someone doesn't have cash? The only one way is to get the business loans and auto loan.
