The Exceptional detroit

On Tuesday next week this page will begin to reflect my dedication to present the exceptional individuals in “Detroit”.  I’ve started this project featuring people I know and believe in, with the hope it will lead me to others I don’t yet know or know about.  This adventure was conceived over two years ago when I was looking at my first subject’s shoes.   The procrastination has finally come to an end and starting Tuesday I will be featuring a new individual every week(hopefully more often)!  As with any project I’m hoping it will continue to develop and grow into something unexpected.  During the last decade I’ve gotten to know a variety of exceptional individuals doing incredible things and making the city a better place.  

I believe exceptional people come about when they discover what they were truly meant to do.  This project is about people I know whom I believe have made that discovery.  These are the people I feel compelled to photograph as I see them.   

***I’m sure you’re all wondering why Detroit is in quotes up there and that’s due to my belief that Detroit encompasses all of southeast Michigan.  That means some individuals that I will feature may not live or work in the city proper, but I still feel that they are integral to what’s happening in Detroit. As always you a free to disagree with me but I just thought I should let everyone know where I stand.***
