How much has downtown Detroit changed? I took the photo at left looking west on State Street toward Griswold (Capitol Park) in 2012. I took the photo at right from about the same spot a couple of years ago. #Detroit #UrbanRevival #Photography #StreetPhotography

A black cat with orange-green eyes looks at the viewer as his right paw stretches out as if to touch the viewer. A dark tortoiseshell cat stands near him on the floor, looking up at a window.

New camera, so more pictures of cats.

A teenage boy stands on a yellow and red fire hydrant. He is wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. His right arm is parallel to his body and his left hand rests on his stomach. There is a vibrant sunset behind him that is a dark purple to peachy shade of pink at the top and gradually becomes a vibrant yellow closer to the horizon. The blue of headlights from a car passing by is the best indication that the dark space to the right is a road. In the background is the silhouette of the Ambassador Bridge leading to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. There are multiple semi trucks on the bridge.

One of my favorite photos is of my friend Derek here on Fort St. The Ambassador Bridge is in the background with trucks backed up waiting to cross into Windsor, Ontario, because that's what trucks on the bridge do.

I found this last year on eBay of all places. It's almost guaranteed that my great-grandfather, or possibly even my grandpa, had held this in his hands at one point.

A matchbook cover laying flat on a blue fabric with silver lines and petal shapes. The long half has a white pin-up girl sitting with her arms resting behind her head. She is wearing a short blue skirt with white polka dots and a red and white striped bikini top. Her brown hair is curled at her shoulders and she's wearing a bow in her hair that matches her skirt. Below her in blue text is "CALL TO ARMS" and above the used match striking spot is the text, "Strater-Beitzel Co. Detroit, Mich"
The other half of the matchbook says, in blue text, "LOCKE LUMBER COMPANY Pingree 1860, 14701 E. Seven Mile Rd. Detroit, Mich."

It's #ThingThursday and I'm sharing this WWII era pin-up girl matchbook from my great-grandfather's lumber yard at 7 Mile and Gratiot in Detroit. It stayed open until the mid-1990s and I have memories of going there as a kid.

A Sigmund Freud action figure stands in front of a pink background holding a cigar in his right hand. Propped up in his left arm is a wrapped Tampax regular tampon that is as tall as he is.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

One of the goofiest photos I've ever taken.

The entrance to Star Theatre at night. A large red sign says "STAR THEATRE" above a line of warm toned light bulbs. Large red doors mark the entrance. A group of people stand to the left, mostly cast in darkness as they are backlit by the entrance lights.

I took the photo when we were marching down Michigan Avenue at Washington Blvd. The meetup was in front of the federal building at Michigan and the Lodge.

A crowd of people march east on Michigan Avenue at Washington Boulevard in Detroit during an emergency protest following the ICE murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis. A large apartment building has an eight story tall advertisement on the side that says, "Detroit voted for CLARITY. It's time for the Senate to ACT."
