some fun with photoshop

[Reverend_Smitty]

I don't know if anybody is familiar with the old train station in Detroit but it is one of the many old abandoned buildings of that city. I was in Detroit back in 2000 and I was just transfixed by this building so I took a couple of shots of it with my dad's camera through the window of the car. The pictures came out ok and I wanted to post them here and I don't have a scanner so I took a picture of them with my digital. The result was a bit of a washed out photo but I think that effect made them even better it sort of conveyed an "old timey" feel. Then I played around in photoshop with them. What do you guys think?



and here is the back of the building

1. Excellent. I miss the beautiful buildings and industrial

revolution architecture.

Here is my favorite Detroit site.

2. I see stuff like that and I think how neat it would be to acquire it

and do the same thing with it that they are doing with so many old mill buildings and other old industrial sites. . . rehabilitate it and turn it into housing :). How cool would it be to actually leave the outside of that relatively untouched and turn the inside into apartments?

I love the photos by the way :). They have character. They remind me of some of the photos you see from the earlier days of color in magazines and so forth when they didn't have the huge gamut of color to work with that they do now :)
