To see my Detroit stories visit:
www.projectdetroit1.blogspot.com - Jan.2009. What happens to a motor city when the cars stop driving off the line? What happens when a people struggling to overcome a strong racial divide lose their already menial or low paying jobs? What happens when corruption and political unrest and a gun and drug culture, takes precedence over community and ethics? For more than three decades, the City of Detroit has faced an economic and industrial crisis of astounding proportions.

Once one of the most populated and beloved cities in the country, Detroit remains a virtual ghost town. As the automotive industry hangs in the balance, the city plunges even farther into an economic abyss. From expansive foreclosures to streets checkered with burned remains of what was, the city stands as a reminder of all that has gone so terribly wrong with bigger, better and faster. Project Detroit makes the connection between the weakened housing market, a failing automotive industry, and the people who have been affected the most along the way. The images attempt to look past the overarching economic crisis of the entire country, to focus on the crumbling foundation that the city was built upon.

During my 90 days journey into the West Bank I depict a portrait of a society at the mercer of another country. Drawn into their life thanks to their amazing sense of ospitality i have been able to gain access to incredible stories of beauty and pain.
Put it into a diary form, with diagrams and paintings i try to give to the viewer a different way to read a photographic story.

Unemployment and poverty are the main issues why people get drunk.With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990 the unemployment rate become critical and the drinking problem started.

Romantic and filled with adventure, the scenes seem to encapsulate a place in time that existed centuries ago. A time where drunken nights spent with prostitutes in dreary huts served as a reward for long and treacherous journeys at sea.
