Big crowd to see Lupe Fiasco

[Michi]

That's some holy crap.

[nofunk]

Damn, I was gonna post my Lupe Fiasco photo...

[wolverine]

I'll just ruin your plans again

Elevators of the Fisher Building too:

I love this thread, a lot of you can take just a normal view and bring out everything that's great about it and really make it pop. Some of the Comerica Park photos i've seen are amazing. Anyway....

Let's say I want to get into photography. I know a tiny a bit, not too much, certainly not enough to really take pictures like you guys do and know my way around an SLR. What's the best way to get into photography and how much coin would I have to drop on a decent SLR? Should I go the book route?

Yes train show, but it was down at Cobo over the weekend.

Seriously that stuff is awesome. He should build a bunch of copies and put them up on ebay. They'd probably sell for a few thousand each. Probably only a matter of time before the creator of these pops up on this site, since he's an active member at skyscraperpage

[Zissou]

Really cool stuff. I had seen the Stott and Fisher buildings before, but not the Penobscot. I really like that one. I agree about the copies too, I imagine some people would fork over money to have a minature Fisher building in their house.

[wolverine]

Hmmm, I should make miniature models of Detroit buildings using U-of-M's laser cutters. Just make one computer drawing and have it cut out 100 copies, sell them, and pay off my tuition.

Now thats thinking Ian.

Heres a shot from the 17th floor of the Radisson in Windsor. Those streaks of light are the Detroit Princess passing by.

[hudkina]

That's the Fisher Building.

[Michi]

Inside, they have a really big pond that you can launch motor boats and cast lewers into.

Here's one from last Feb.

[Michi]

Looks like it's tipping over.

[Zissou]

Could be knowing how those guys drive.

[wolverine]

Ironic, because I saw this today

I think ridership would increase if hydraulics were installed in city buses.
