Metro Detroit Photo of the Day

[Jasoncw]

I finally got around to uploading some photos from when I went to the Guardian Building over Christmas break, so I finally have something to contribute here. Unfortunately, I had just gotten the camera, so all of the default settings were on, which included a time stamp, bad light settings, and some kind of delay thing. So most of them are messed up, but for this one, I was able to salvage it. I made a desktop out of it.

Oh yeah you were right Jason. That's a bit more grimey than I remember.

It's been awhile since I've been through Milan. Very nice. That whole fork in the road down the street throws me off when getting to the freeway though.

The Montgomery Ward Building in East Dearborn. Montgomery Ward closed its doors in 2001 and the city bought it in 2005. There has been several proposals for what to do with it including making it the headquartars of an unnamed company which would bring 500 employees.

Looks like the Tower Center in Detroit. This will make an a great reuse.

When I went to Royal Oak I also drove up to Clawson. 4 downtown Clawson buildings date back to 1920 and 1 to around 1910.

Saline

[Jasoncw]

uh oh, bandwidth exceeded.

I think you should put them on Flickr instead.

[ZachariahDaMan]

I use flickr too but I didn't know you could post them from flickr, how do you do that?

[RustTown]

The same way you post any photo, here, with the image tag.

I'd be lying if I said that helps....on photobucket you just copy and past the thing but where do you go on flickr to get to it?

[andrew.w]

Pick the "all sizes" button above the image in flickr to show all sizes of the particular photo. Choose the photo size that you want to use and scroll to the bottom of the page. You'll find the url there.

[ZachariahDaMan]

Awesome, thanks Andrew

[Jasoncw]

And if you're using FireFox, just right click on any image and click on "Copy Link Location" and you'll have the url. In Internet Explorer you can right click and go to properties (I think) and it will be there too.

[wolverine]

Uh, and this whole time I thought you were posting all your images from flickr....

[dtown]

I like my flickr account, but i hate the small upload limit, but i also dont want to pay for a pro account. So i guess im SOL.

[wolverine]

Is $25 a year really that bad though? I think its worth it. I'm hooked. At this point, I don't know what I'd do without flickr since I enjoy taking so many pictures.

Although, I'll admit that most of my pictures I post here on urbanplanet aren't from flickr, rather my u of m webspace, cause it's free! errr I mean paid through tuition.

Dude, i have 12 dollars in my wallet and no job yet, but im going to try to get one next week. After i finish cough*cough* drivers ed cough*cough.

BTW- How long do you get to keep that U of M webspace after graduating? One of my teachers has a site from MSU, and she graduated like a year and a half ago.

[Jasoncw]

I don't think universities "kick you out" after graduating or transferring. I think you just have some kind of inactive status or something. I transfered from Grand Valley State to Eastern Michigan, and all of my stuff from Grand Valley is still there.

[wolverine]

You get the space forever.

dtown, I always here you talking about how you work retail so I figured you had money in the bank

On a good note, wolverine is going to be a baller when he gets his tax return.
