That same bleak, rundown quality of a once thriving city of industry, however, serves as inspiration for various painters, writers and photographers.<br /><br />Classic theaters, demolished landmark buildings, now empty factories of automotive companies, abandoned schools, rundown homes and once lively neighborhoods - especially Brush Park-- are captured and immortalized by many, including these six photographers and one painter.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9582U50knxxkPepJZl8roHQSQy8ydsOC8Fy9SP_hEfQZn8cmrujtXbsk2HttSmTobm-FJBFLvmp38rObOtT-ovdkCyhr3mkmIZMs7x3YIHaOmznhOMz0wqLgKosaXFC1r8WQDDMgSlc7-/s1600-h/abandoned_house_7.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434510923659842626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9582U50knxxkPepJZl8roHQSQy8ydsOC8Fy9SP_hEfQZn8cmrujtXbsk2HttSmTobm-FJBFLvmp38rObOtT-ovdkCyhr3mkmIZMs7x3YIHaOmznhOMz0wqLgKosaXFC1r8WQDDMgSlc7-/s400/abandoned_house_7.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 534px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: one of Kevin Bauman's more than 100 abandoned homes</span></span><br /><br />Whether the artists were born and raised in Michigan or relocated to the area (two of the photographers are actually French), they were moved enough by the present state of the city to document it in their oevre. Clearly, the wistful ruins of the city serve as a muse for these following talents.<br /><br />You may notice that a few of the landmark buildings and abandoned houses have been shot by more than one of these photographers, so what may seem like duplicates are just the same subject as captured by different people.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">David Kohrman</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCQo3kx1CA0AlR-DCVP31Q5vssHdsfY6PlTq_eRl2EwaiVeQkVZUsxqJMpqpB-f_lKZV8pJmQkjsshcKqMgae18wjOkjSQ4vbiczEjB0_CevC9YeY7LqoGoJo_W9PORwl-qOx-fg_bXYx/s1600-h/Picture+1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434493682779847442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCQo3kx1CA0AlR-DCVP31Q5vssHdsfY6PlTq_eRl2EwaiVeQkVZUsxqJMpqpB-f_lKZV8pJmQkjsshcKqMgae18wjOkjSQ4vbiczEjB0_CevC9YeY7LqoGoJo_W9PORwl-qOx-fg_bXYx/s400/Picture+1.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 370px;" /></a><br /><br />First off, <a href="http://www.davidkohrman.com/">photographer David Kohrman</a>, a Western Michigan University grad, drawn to the ruins of Detroit, created a site in 2001 named<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://www.forgottendetroit.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Forgotten Detroit</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> A self-proclaimed lover of history and architecture, he had taken an interest in the historic preservation of landmark buildings.<br /><br />In his own words:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"This site is a presentation of the historical and present day information I have compiled on some of these buildings. I have spent a great deal of time digging up facts and photos of these places. In 1999 I was fortunate enough to tour many of the major ruins. My intent with the site is to preserve the memory, and hopefully shape opinions in favor of the preservation of these landmarks."</span><br /><br />The site (which has not been kept up, much like Detroit) features intensive sections of various demolished and existing architecture including historical and present day photos of hotels, theaters and more.<br /><br />However, David has continued to pursue architectural photography and he now has <a href="http://www.davidkohrman.com/">his own site which features more beautiful architectural photography here.</a><br /><br />Some examples of images from David Kohrman:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9aMYCAw4cgGMON0EHMBYN1GeSUI7EBo0VsW-DgWrzDLnRprr_zPMErl0XEeF-e7jf_ghKSU1fixH_TOjY9NUYTRlK2-4VZPtPrOhBKmOZqgguxWTpQJPaG430Islr3D6RA7v4bXh0lFY/s1600-h/delray.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434490914501681394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9aMYCAw4cgGMON0EHMBYN1GeSUI7EBo0VsW-DgWrzDLnRprr_zPMErl0XEeF-e7jf_ghKSU1fixH_TOjY9NUYTRlK2-4VZPtPrOhBKmOZqgguxWTpQJPaG430Islr3D6RA7v4bXh0lFY/s400/delray.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
