Decay Detroit Rebirth

This article is grotesquely descriptive. The imagery Moore uses to describe Detroit is vivid and really gives a good picture of what parts Detroit may look like, while at the same time the description is vague enough for the reader to use their imagination. The photo, Walden Street, really shows what he is talking about. It is just overwhelming what nature can do once there isn't any human interference. The angle that the photo was shot at emphasizes the decay and re-growth of the land, that Moore is talking about. Moore's other photo, Blind Alley, has great perspective. The way it was shot makes me want to see what is around the corner. The brick really gives a great background in relation to the trees. Here too there is also a juxtaposition of new life in a place that feel void of anything living.
