Compelling Realities:
The Photographic work of Brian Day, Jon DeBoer, and Jeff Gaydash
Compelling Realities recasts the city of Detroit through viewfinders of Brian Day, Jon DeBoer, and Jeff Gaydash. The show – featuring portraiture, architectural abstraction, and urban landscapes – utilitizes formal black-and-white photography to allow us to shift our attention away from the known into the tangential world of the untold. The images suggest a re-evaluation of our sense of place as hard surfaces collide gently with atmosphere and memory through the seductive quality of the artists’ image making. In this show, the photographs transcend the idea of the photography as documentation and present the viewer with a departure point for new experiences and perspective on Detroit’s built environment.
December 9, 2011 through January 15, 2012 at Studio Couture Detroit

Rouge Series Receives 2nd Place in the 2011 International Photo Awards
I am pleased to announce that my ongoing series of industrial photography Along The Rouge River: Detroit's Industrial Mecca has received 2nd Place in the 2011 International Photography Awards in the 'Industrial Architecture' category.
Industrial photography has long been a passion of mine and photographing The Rouge in the post 9/11 era has proven very difficult. It is satisfying to hear that the frustration and difficulties I have encountered shooting along The Rouge has received some international recognition. I am now convinced that it has been a worthwhile effort. Stay tuned for more industrial work in the not too distant future.
You can read about my experiences while shooting along The Rouge in this previous blog post.
Images from the series can be seen here.
