It’s difficult seeing the pictures of the once stable city of Detroit. Now Detroit is in bankruptcy and in a state of decay. The photographs captured what Detroit was before it all went down hill. It had what many other cities had such as hotels, doctor’s office, libraries, and many more. I think the photos are amazing since the two photographers were able to catch Detroit’s former glory as a city of prosperity. You can see that the architectures took their time crafting beautiful buildings that would make the city unique and stand out. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to bring Detroit back on its feet and build it as it once was.
