in researching the post below, I stumbled across The Motor(less) City an amazing photo blog which got me thinking…

“What does the world of the book ‘The Road‘ (soon to be a motion picture) actually look like.

The answer: Detroit.

Go over and check out The Motor(less) City it’s well worth a few hours (and likely safer than actually visiting in the real world :) )

quote of the day


“You have to watch out for missing manhole covers. People steal them for scrap metal. Last year we had a dog fall into one,” Jim Heck said as we walked along what used to be an alley behind a brush-choked lot that used to be a home site.

It’s pheasant season, in Detroit

Going to a Bond flick and complaining about the lack of a plot is like going to an Episcopalian church service and complaining about the lack of strippers.

Pinhole photos with a digital camera

Les Jones has a post on using your DSLR to do pinhole photography.
This is one I’d taken last summer with my Canon EOS 20D.

The “bars” in the photo are the window screen.

well now, that didn’t take long


Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

…but I’m sure the Newtm Assault Weapons Ban will only be for the “urban centers” right?

question of the day

will there be a glut or a run on these?
