I revisited some of the sites I shot for my newly released book,Detroit Revealed: Another Look at the Motor City. The weather was perfect, and I enjoyed wandering around the islands and visiting the newly renovated conservatory.

Photography Hint:

For a high contrast image, one with dark shadows and bright whites, try taking the image with your phone.

Sometimes, the phone is better at negating the challenging lighting. Just be careful, because your phone can make the image look
