Area 53 (2011) - Photo 15 - Skylink Detroit River

Only a two minute walk from my house is an old school that is now known as Science City. Outside it's front door is an old cable car of sorts with the words 'Skylink Detroit River' on the side of it. I haven't personally gone inside the building to learn more about it thinking I could easily find it on the internet, but so far have been unsuccessful. This is all I could find: In front of the Science City building on Marion st. Windsor Ontario Canada. I assume this is prototype of a cable car which was proposed to span the Detroit River between Windsor Ontario and Detroit Michigan. So that's all I've got for you. My photo of the week is my attempt at being artsy and that crap, the other two are just so you could see the building and the whole skylink in front of the doors. Enjoy! t

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 14 - Hoot Hoot

This is a macro photograph I took of a U.S. dollar bill. I've zoomed in specifically on the '1' on the front upper right side of the note. If you look closely at the top left corner of the frame around the '1' you can see a very small owl. This may seem very small, so imagine how tiny it really is when you hold a dollar in your hand. The dollar is covered with images that suggest different things regarding the 'Illuminati', 'Freemasons' and 'New World Order' such as the all-seeing eye and more. An owl is the Pagan symbol of wisdom. It also sees in the dark, another layer of the owl symbolism, to assure its initiates that the Illuminati does its bidding at night. In fact, the landscape of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. perfectly resembles an owl from an aerial view. I couldn't make this up. Google it. I didn't believe it either, then I was taking photos of the Chicago Public Library from outside and it has giant owls perched on all four corners as well as the sides of the building's roof. Coincidence? Well, it's everywhere in America. So why is it really on the dollar bill? Read up on it and you decide. t

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 13 - Barry 'Short'

Although Barry Sanders rarely fell short in the yardage department, he's 'short' in this photo because he's only 6" tall. I decided to try a macro photo of an action figure after I really like the one I did a couple weeks ago of A-Rod and the Yankees manual. For some reason this one was far more difficult. I had to set up table lamps all around it to fix the light situation or lack thereof, only to cause even more shadows than I started with. I almost gave up. This is the result. Barry stands in front of a souvenir mini Detroit Lions helmet. t Click here to see Cale's photo(s) of the week.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 12 - Sunset Ditch

Cale and I actually went out together to take some pics.
We didn't think the sunset was going to amount to much but after some aimless county driving it proved us wrong.
There wasn't enough time to really get anything I liked except for this one, which is actually the first photo I took all night.
Cu next week.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 11 - Sauce Funky

This is a photo of John Rodgers from the band Mic Lordz & Sauce Funky from their performance on Monday night at the Hayloft in Mt. Clemens, Michigan in support of Cen Dog from Cypress Hill. I messed with the saturation on this pic and colourized it a little bit to give it an almost sepia tone with only a hint of the green from his gloves and headbands as well as the red from the light shining on him.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 10 - Party's Over!

This is a photo I had to ask permission to take of what used to be the Party Warehouse on Walker Road in Windsor. Which is why I named it 'Party's Over!'
The building also housed The Clean Depot and Champion Products.
Arrests were made and I understand they were charged with arson.
Hope you like my happy photo of destruction.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 09 - Playing With Myself

Cale is always big on doing self portraits, and me, not so much. Except for the one I did of my reflection in a glass of Dr. Pepper, remember? But I don't think it qualifies. This is an idea I had for a while but needed the time, set and the know-how to pull it off in Photoshop. I took four separate photos on delay with the poker table and all the props set in place not to be moved. I changed between each photo. Other than that, I had to think out what each player's hand would be and ultimately what each of the four of me would be doing in that second of time. Otherwise, I learned how to use stacking and masking to make it all come together. This is my test image, I'm going to go back and improve on it for sure. I hope you dig it. t Click here to see Cale's photo(s) of the week.
