Detroit’s downtown is undergoing a grand resurgence. It’s not hard to see why. For a big city, rents are affordable. There’s a lot of vibrancy downtown these days. Even though Detroit has a whole has been bleeding population for some time, downtown has actually seen a 59% increase of young professionals moving in over the last 10 years. There’s a great mixture of new and old architecture that simultaneously reminds us of its past and points the way towards the future.

It’s precisely this mixture that makes the Detroit skyline so unique. There are a lot of details present in this panoramic. Starting at the left is the Ambassador Bridge, the busiest international crossing in the country, and ironically where you go south to get to Canada. Approaching the river bank you can see the Detroit Princess cruise ship, lit up for its nighttime activities. This particular night the River Days festival was in full swing, making the riverwalk area all around the Renaissance Center a light show all its own. Moving through Greektown and to the right the glow of field lights from a Tigers baseball game at Comerica Bank finish lighting up the night sky. Even though this was captured on a summer night, haze was remarkably low helping add to the clarity of this picture.

This panoramic was created by combining three separate images into one. This allows the details to clearly come out and makes it possible to print on a large scale without compromise. The art paper used in printing is a textured watercolor archival paper, which adds incredible depth and richness to show the colors in this photo.

This is a giclee (pronounced Gee’clay) print. The ink and paper used are of museum archival quality and specifically for fine art prints, ensuring that they will not deteriorate or discolor in your lifetime. The paper used in printing enhances the richness and depth of the image. My printer sources his paper from mills in Europe where they still believe in high quality old-world craftsmanship, and have literally hundreds of years experience in the paper business.

In other words, he uses only the best.

I use the same person (located in the United States) exclusively for the ultimate in quality control. Each file is reviewed by him personally before printing to ensure optimum quality. I deeply care about providing quality images and want you to enjoy them for years to come.

Please note that I do not keep a stock of my prints. They are only created upon your order. As such, please allow up to two weeks from the time of your order to receiving it at your shipping address.
