About Derek Farr ( DetroitDerek )  

Thank you for coming to my wife's and my page. We greatly appreciate everyone that views/comments/faves our pictures and enjoy looking at our contact's pictures as well!

I was originally born in Toronto and live now in Detroit ( by way of Niagara Falls and Southend/Shenfield in England ) , - my parents were originally from Holland
( Oosterhout ) and England ( Dudley ) so I got a chance to visit a lot of places when I was younger. I am a 20+ year veteran musician who has only recently gotten into photography ( really the end of July 2007 ). Which sucks. I've played with P-Funk, Tom Jones, Rev. Right Time, The Providers, sat in with the Temptations , opened for Fishbone and many other bands and guess how many pictures I have from that era? 3. Argh. And I'm 40 pounds over weight so you'll never see them.

I like history, especially old buildings and even more importantly signs painted onto those buildings. My wife KERRY has started to join me on my photographic safaris so you will also see some of her pictures here ( Kerry's Pictures Set ). I try to put as much detail and history as I can about each picture as well as map it when I remember. I'm left-handed but play bass and cut with scissors right-handed for some reason ( random useless information ). A lot of my photos are about showing off the beauty, grit, grime, and personality of Urban Life ( especially Detroit ), sometimes all of them in the same picture. Hope you like them and thank you again for everyone that views/comments/faves our pictures!

One quick note- if you want to use my pictures for books, blogs, magazines, etc - please - just ask me BEFORE you use them. I'm not that hard to work with. Thanks!

I'm Male and Taken.
