Detroit Dream Project

David Kyte — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:04:47 +0000

The Detroit Dream Project’s “Temple of the American Dream” was built by volunteers in the Brightmoor / Old Redford (Grand River and Lasher) neighborhood of northwest Detroit in June 2008. This community art and peace park is open to all, shaped by all, and the hub of many of our dreams for what Detroit can be and what Detroit will be as we create together.

Detroit HDR Photos

David Kyte — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:54:48 +0000

HDR, High Dynamic Range is the process of taking a series photos with a digital camera of the same subject and adjusting exposure to get good detail in the shadows without blowing out the highlites. These overexposed and under exposed images are composited into one image with color, detail and optimum exposure.

These photos were taken in the Old Redford section of Detroit where someone has been decorating the buildings with lots of colorful paintings.

Not far from where I live in Detroit is a rather tattered area of the city called Brightmore, in fact some call it Blightmore because of the abandoned and burned out houses. But amongst all this is this impressive bit of building art on the side of once was a bank. Next to it is a field slowly being cleaned up as a small park.

Driving around my hometown of Detroit I often spot scenes of beauty among what to some is urban ugliness.
