You from Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas. Saw it in the movies. In any case, I simply was wondering whether I could count on you for Detroit traffic reports.
Depends on which movie.
Full Metal Jacket - Texas
An Officer and a Gentleman - Oklahoma
See some green shoots of recovery there?
Traffic looks light
interesting blog posts sometimes, the person is a liberal too,
"Thats when she asked, Do you photograph the good parts too, or just the bad parts?
I really wanted to be able to say I photograph both. Over the years, I have photographed both the good and the bad, but the truth is, lately I primarily photograph the bad parts. Rarely do I focus on the good anymore. I know there are good things happening in the city, but I dont show them. I suppose its easier to just drive downtown with my limited time, and photograph the things that I see along the way. Which is pretty much what I do. Its partly convenience, but its also the reality of many peoples experiences with the city. Its hard to enter the city from any direction, on any road or freeway, and not be blown away by the amount of abandonment and decay. After more than thirty years of living in the area, I know I am still shocked by what I see in the city.
I dont live in the area anymore, and I find the same uniqueness, and grittiness that supposedly makes Detroit so great is everywhere. Grittiness isnt Detroits secret ingredient, its simply a nice way of saying its a hard place to live. Who needs that? Im happy for those who love the area, and truly feel they belong here, but life can be a challenge without having to fight dysfunction every step of the way."
