After weeks of planning, the gallery showcase finally starts this Friday. It'll feature my work depicting historic buildings in Detroit side by side with work from one of my good friends, Jon DeBoer, of those same buildings after the sun goes down. In addition to the art, I'll be writing a summary of the history of each building to add context to each scene. The show opens on Friday at the Vo**ur Bo****lo (5629 Michigan Ave, Detroit, MI 48210) from 6-9 PM. More information: https://www.facebook.com/events/4468891476709119

I’ve been friends with Jon DeBoer for a decade. We’re into a lot of the same things: riding bikes around the city, Detroit City FC, and photographing historic buildings around Detroit. He’s the most talented after-dark photographer I’ve ever met, and over the years we’ve both photographed the same buildings plenty of times. So, we're showing our work capturing the same scenes at different times of day, side by side, later this month in Southwest Detroit. I’ll also be writing historical narratives for each set of pieces!

Just a quick reminder about my work during the month of July and a few upcoming things to be on the lookout for! As always, if you have an idea for a video, please let me know.

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to my first guided history walking tour in Poletown East yesterday. We had beautiful weather, great conversations, and a lovely walk. Should we do another one? 👀

This week's video is a different format from usual, and I'd love to hear your feedback. It dives into three churches in my second-favorite place in Michigan (behind Detroit, of course) and how adaptive reuse can benefit the community at large without pricing people out.

I'm hosting a free guided walking tour of Poletown East this Sunday at 10 AM! We'll be walking over a mile and a half through one of the city's most unique neighborhoods, and the walk will last about an hour and a half.

We’ll start and end outside St. Hyacinth Church. Guests are encouraged to attend Mass after the walk, which begins at 11:30 AM. St. Hyacinth is over a century old and has, in my opinion, one of the finest church interiors in Detroit.

Completed in the late 1800s, this building at Moran and Leland has served as a church, lodge hall, community center, and neighborhood landmark. All the while, the nearby industry expanded, and today it's surrounded by Detroit's Faygo facility. Here's the story: https://youtu.be/sL1rpqso1A4

Part of this Eastern Market building collapsed onto the sidewalk in 2023, and the City of Detroit moved to demolish it. As you can see, that never happened. This week’s video covers the history of the Dueweke Grocery Company Building and how it survived. Watch: https://youtu.be/Z6Xgmo8IjiU

Here's some more B-Roll from yesterday's video on a former saloon on St. Aubin that was shut down during prohibition and has been standing tall for 70 years while the neighborhood around it crumbled and became more industrial. Check out the video: https://youtu.be/18HIIS12Gxs

This week's video is on a former saloon building on St. Aubin. By 1909, the structure was operating as a bar that was later shut down by police for serving alcohol during prohibition. Today, much of the surrounding neighborhood has been demolished. Check out this week's video: https://youtu.be/18HIIS12Gxs
