I did a bit of a similar book, back in 2007, about Finland called "OBSOLETE". The original intention for me was to go shoot this project in Detroit, but due to lack of funds / funding, I ended up shooting places in Finland.
I am happy that someone managed to get funding to shoot Detroit. At the same time I am also very disappointed that all the Grants I applied for would not want to support this idea. Even my counselors back at the University, said it would not be interesting. Guess some people were wrong?
And Detroit is just the tip of the iceberg...
Here is just a slight comparison, with what happened in Finland compared to Detroit.
Do you spot a certain similarity?
Here is the link for the Article :
