Detroit Nighthawks: A Detroit Alley at Night

Detroit Alley at Night

The Detroit Nighthawks group says…

A city isn’t just one place. It changes by the hour. The boarded up derelict at midday becomes the heaving nightclub by midnight. Places you simply don’t notice in the thronging crowd can appear majestic in the darkness. Theatre lights wink on and off unwatched and the crosswalk lights command only shadows.

Detroit can be a challenge to the late night photographer, both acquisitive street folk and inquisitive police are just waiting to happen. But if you’re out at 4am and wandering streets through which only drifting steam moves, then Detroit appears lonely, powerful and alluring.
