[The-New-Tony-Detroit]

This is my first thread with my new camera, a Canon Rebel Xti, so please forgive some of the quality as I was being quite experimental to learn how this new baby operates. This should be my last Detroit thread of the year as I will be in Chicago next weekend and south Florida over New Years!

Enjoy!

Happy Holiday's Everyone! :banana:

[Michi]

I see Erica has made her forum debut.

Hooray for Noel Night!

The fountain at Cranbrook remains one of my area favorites.

Nice start with your new camera. They'll only get better from here on! :tup:

[MSPtoMKE]

Ohhh, Tony's got a new Camera! Keep that beautiful Detroit footage coming.

No standing?

[ColDayMan]

You got the trash part right.

[LMich]

I see you saved the best picture for last. Those Dearborn folks are lucky with that view.

MGM isn't looking half bad. In fact, I'd say it's looking better than half good. :)

But, the WSU shot is also tied as my favorite:

[Chicago Shawn]

Nice set. I can see you are having fun learning how to play with your new toy. Drop a line if your going to be in Chicago next weekend.

[Sulley]

Fuck. It's been almost a YEAR.

[Exodus]

One of the coolest holiday pics I've ever seen.
http://www.downtownmotown.com/dec%20thread/rochester01.jpg

You forgot to mention that these were taken from Dearborn. Damn good photography I might add.

[KevinFromTexas]

Very nice.

[The-New-Tony-Detroit]

Thanks for the comments.

The shots from Dearborn were taken from the Hyatt Regency near Fairlane - quite a view it offers!

[Bergenser]

Nice shots with your new cam! :D

[Exodus]

Thanks for the comments.

The shots from Dearborn were taken from the Hyatt Regency near Fairlane - quite a view it offers!I figured as much. I can see ABC Wharehouse, they have some really good deals there. Name brand stuff with 30-50 percent off of everything everday.

I also like this pic. Rough neighborhood, I know, I grew up in that general area. So I suppose you can call that sign ironic ?

[Paintballer1708]

MGM is coming along nicely.

Awww... it has gotten friendlier I'd say!

What area of the city were you from Exodus? I think you'd really be impressed with some of the rehab beginning to creep back towards that area of town!

[skeeter]

whoa, i haven't seen the new mgm till now. very nice, tony.

[LouisvilleJake]

Lovely, as always.

Detroit looks like it is coming along

[Michi]

...like, for a ride or something?

[oliveurban]

Great pictures, good job.

Detroit is beautiful and mysterious.

[Exodus]

Awww... it has gotten friendlier I'd say!

What area of the city were you from Exodus? I think you'd really be impressed with some of the rehab beginning to creep back towards that area of town!I grew up on the west side in the Michigan/Livernoise area. I've also spent several years on the southwest side around the Vernor/Springwells area. And I know about some of the infill between 32nd and 28th, because I grew up on 29th. The infill project is named Newberry Estates, after the school I attended.
