*Note: This article was originally published on the TDP Blog HERE May 24, 2009. This post contains a couple of extra images. 🙂 Also, the building is not yet demolished – on the contrary, according to several articles it looks as if a restoration may be in progress. The most recent article I could find is HERE. With the restoration in progress, I thought it might be fun to look back…

Flashback: May 2009
What an exciting photo outing this was, thank you so much Kiah for inviting me! Kiah’s friends Brian and Ralph were great fun too – I loved talking photography and sharing ideas/comps. Oh, and Ralph you were a great model, we’ll have to get some pics to your mom for ya LOL. I have to say that while I am generally a portrait photog, I absolutely LOVE taking pics just for the sake of taking pics, and what a golden opportunity for beautiful images in Michigan Central Station.

It’s easy to lose track of time exploring this building, around every corner was another room or expanse, always with something different if not more beautiful. I must say, some of the grafitti was pretty interesting as well LOL – gotta love urban humor.
