Hi Jon, thanks. You are correct, Henry Ford II was the main driver of the project, to help revitalize Detroit in the late 1970s. Today there is alot of activity in the city, a nice improvement from prior years.

Great image Peter! Curves, lines, tones, a sense of perspective - it's all there!Originally Posted by Peter De Smidt

+1 - that works really well, Peter. I like the way that the table on the bottom right acts as a reference point for the building in this image.
Thank you, David and Chassis! It was a challenging shoot. I was on the side of a hill.... I set up and then had to wait a couple of hours for the light. When it was time, some people walked into the shot. Luckily, the exposure was long enough that they didn't show up. The building is meant to resemble a ship, and most of the lines are curved.

Nice ones chassis and Peter.
Peter, I am curious if this is the full sheet of 8x10? It almost looks like you have front rise because the vertical lines are relatively straight, but I can't imagine you could've got much from a 120mm SA. Just wondering.
Bryan, you're right. I had no choice but to keep the standards square, which resulted in the camera being pointed up. As a result, I had to use perspective correction in Photoshop which crops some of the image. I would've preferred to have my camera higher up, but this was as high as I could go with my tripod.

Ah, of course, that makes sense. Nothing wrong with using digital tools! I once did a bit of perspective correction in the darkroom by lifting the easel up of the baseboard on one side.
