2013 PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris - Silver Award Winner, Professional Fine Art, Architecure

In the early 1990's I spent several years documenting historic churches for a book project called "A Threatened Legacy: Detroit's Historic Churches." The purpose of the project was to document historic structures that were being threatened to be closed and sometimes demolished due to the severe population decline of the city of Detroit. Now over fifteen years later I have decided to revisit many of these places (among others) that have since fallen into decay.

Although City Methodist of Gary, Indiania is not specific to Detroit, it is a prime example of the demise of such places throughout the rust belt.
