detroit: a tiny photologue :: 08 July 2007

last year when i went to the allied media conference in sexy, sexy bowling green, oh, i returned with video. i filmed (very shakily) the spoken word reception with mark gonzales and climbing poetree and part of invincible and finale's set during the music showcase.

this year, i had my video camera with me, but i didn't actually film anything beyond some footage that will only be useful as b-roll footage on some future project. what i learned at the 2006 amc was that it's almost impossible to truly be present and document at the same time, and i was there to participate, not document.

i did remember to use my crappy camera phone as often as possible, which wasn't very often. in other words, i have a handful of crappy photos of a very small part of detroit. enjoy?

all photos were taken with a crappy palm treo 600 cell phone.
