I stumbled upon an amazing collection of photographs of Detroit, MI today. All the photos were taken within the last 5 years, all within the City of Detroit, MI. Amazing!

These seven artists have been working in the city as explorers, adventurers and pioneers for years to capture the city as it changes, evolves, devolves and transforms into something unbelievable, profound and heartbreaking. In the end they hope as a group to show Detroit as it is, not what it should be or what it was, but how it is. This in itself a provocative gesture as there are not many who feel content with the Detroit of today.
