A Week in the Motor City

Last week I was in Detroit, Michigan to photograph the 2016 North American International Auto Show. In addition to this I was eager to explore the Motor City and document some of the unique landmarks and attractions to put together a brand new photo series. From the birth place of Motown to the factory where the very first Model T's were produced, I had a lot on my list.

The resulting experience was pretty incredible. I was traveling with my Dad and we had a lot of fun just wandering around the city. The Detroit Auto Show itself was worth the trip, but over the week we saw and did so much more than that. The result is Motor City, a brand new collection of travel photography that I'll be sharing throughout 2016 as part of my Middle America photography series. In the meantime, check out the preview video above for a few highlights from the auto show and stay tuned as this series unfolds.

Million Dollar Theatre in Los Angeles

Constructed along Broadway in downtown Los Angeles in 1917, the Million Dollar Theatre was one of the first movie palaces built in the United States. Before he went on to build his Egyptian Theatre and Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, the Million Dollar Theatre was Sid Grauman's first movie house. It officially opened in February 1918 and remains in use today.
