Lafayette Building Revisited

Great!! I'm just coming back to see this descomposition of Lafayette building "heritage". I like the contra-position between this destroyed building and the one (a parking??) in the left side...

Weird sensation. I really like this serie but at the same time it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful building go.

I like this image ! You had a great point of view !
Like you, I hope it will lead to something new and better !

Lines everywhere.......Well done...

I hope it arises too.

Great POV, you did a wonderful job with the shots of this building, Ralph!

Excellent shot of this building. Or what is left of it.

Like a big chunk of birthday cake..eaten and consumed.

Very clever angle, the lines everywhere crossing in your compo and that missing body, this is really strong again

Strong image with strong message . Great BW !

a like the comment of Ken on this one ....nicely done Ralph.....

Terrific composition and the tone and detail are outstanding. A grand building.

Ken's right...looks like Paul Bunyan has been by and got a bit hungry.

Interesting perspective. I like this angle to show what was... and what is not any longer.

Shame to see such a building in such a state. I'll wager that any replacement won't be quite as grand or last as long.

A nice composition in B & W and that facade with a quarter of it removed is very intriguing to me. I like the inclusion of the "Guggenheim" parking garage. :-)

excellent

very powerful black and white, i really like this. A piece of Detroit's history is missing, and little by little, the Lafayette building will be no more.

Another apocalyptic picture.
I'm sad for Detroit but glad you can share your view with us Ralph.

It is interesting to see the difference between the orderly deconstruction on the left and the demolition on the right. Makes one wonder.

wow! this is a superbly captured photo! i love the B&W here. just amazing to be able to capture a scene like this. :)

hey jonsey, you seen the movie 'the road'?

that look like GODZILLA is back!!!!!

Ralph is it coming down? It.. doesn't look like it's going up yet..it does look like repairs are being made on the side.

This is just too sad, like watching limbs being pulled off.

A very good image, Ralph - nicely produced. The walls - would they talk - are now hushed - forever.

Worse part of all this is bringing out the tons of garbage from this and have it shipped somewhere to be dumped.
