Holga Tower Detroit
Last one of the Holga Tower, photo by G0Da.
G0Da likes water towers and his holga.
For those who may not know just what the heck a “holga” is, here’s the Lomographic Society International’s explanation of the Holga:
Did you think your eyes were open? I’m afraid to say that until this very moment they have been closed. The unassuming Holga is here to save you from a future of digital pixels and images shared on small screens on cameras or phones. We have all become numbed with photography, there is no denying it, but a chunky camera made almost entirely of plastic has been put on this Earth to save us. It will reawaken your vision, fill you with joy, make you see beauty when you thought it had disappeared forever, and bring out sunshine on a cloudy day.

World Series in Detroit
World Series in Detroit, photo by UrbanTiki.
Bobby Alcott’s photo of Comerica Park was taken before Game 1 of the 2006 World Series from the top of the Fox Theatre parking garage. The detail on this photo is incredible. Click above or check it out on black.
While Game 1 wasn’t very happy for Tiger fans, Bobby got a great shot of Kenny & Pudge at Game 2!
Maybe this will be available soon You can order a copy of this photo of Comerica Park on Opening Night of the 2006 World Series from Bobby Alcott Photography!
Detroit Nighthawks: A Detroit Alley at Night
Anastacia Campbell says this photo is best viewed large.
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.

yummmmmm – EXPOSURE.Detroit October Show
yummmmmm, photo by vanessamiller.
The next EXPOSURE.Detroit show takes place next Friday (Oct 20, 2006) from 7:00pm – 10:00pm at Karras Bros Tavern, Detroit, MI and features “CAVE CANEM”, radiospike, rckrawczykjr and vanessamiller. As Ms. Miller is the only photographer from whom Michigan in Pictures has not yet featured a photo, the choice of who to pick out of these 4 talented artists was easy!
As this photo from high up in the abandoned David Whitney Building demonstrates, Vanessa seems to gravitate toward abandoned buildings and is not at all afraid of heights. She also free-lances for The Real Detroit Weekly.
Jagged end on Belle Isle
Jagged end, photo by mainegal.
Is this photo of leaves like this photo of leaves? If it is, does that bother you?
This photo is from a new group on Flickr called Assignment: Detroit that assigns its members a location or theme to photograph and present their best pictures. The first assignment is Belle Isle. It sounds like a lot of fun and we’ll try and check back in at the end of the month!
Be sure and view this photo large because it’s amazing!
House of Tiki
House of Tiki, photo by “CAVE CANEM”.
I assume that Tiki is UrbanTiki who, like many of us, is a huge Detroit Tigers fan.
Be sure to click the photo to see it large and appreciate the awesome shadows from Comerica Park on the walls of Ford Field. (also makes a GREAT background)
The Tigers continued their struggling last night. Get a whole bunch more Tigers v Yankees links, stories & photos at Absolute Michigan!
