Outside The Comfort Zone
This year, I’m embarking on a project that will take me out my comfort zone have me going against my own rules of photography. The final goals are not just to have an interesting and creative exhibit with my collective, but also to expand my horizons as a photographer. What is the show about? The title is “The Velvet Divide: Breaking The Burlesque Taboo” – and throughout the next 7 months six other photographers and I will be shooting within our comfortable architectural spaces and learning the subtle art of working with models and performers.
Michigan Central Terminal
The Terminal (also known as Michigan Central Station) was built in 1913 for the railroad and was Detroit’s main passenger depot until 1988. At the time of construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world and today it is still a visible, albeit crumbling, architectural icon on Detroit’s lanscape.
