The Message Never Sent ( Tribute to Brian Day )
( EXPLORED!!! ) This is a tribute to a good friend of mine ( stop changing your name already though, yeesh ) Brian Day/B.Plus ( www.flickr.com/people/brianday/ ) . I've taken the liberty of doing this in color ( as Brian rarely posts in color ) because quite frankly I think my red Detroit shirt with the Coca Cola type script is just downright cool. Brian has been a big influence to many of us here in Detroit, as well as a ton of people across flickrland and beyond. He and I share a passionate interest in the history of this city, as well as it's future. A big thanks to another friend of mine and one of my favorite shooting buddies and a helluva photographer in his own right Tony Lafferty ( www.flickr.com/people/tonylafferty/ ) for crossing over from Nikonland to trigger this shot on my Canon. :)

very nice... Brian would be proud. We should be doing tributes to you as well. Your knowledge of the history of our city is incredible!

This just screams Detroit...I've enjoyed your photos and the vast knowledge of the city's history you share with us.

She [
] is right man. You are one of the most
knowledgeable cats I've ever met when it
comes to this town, and I've learned a lot
from conversation and from your posts here on
Flickr. We each have our own way of
expression through these images, and while
I'm a long way from anything worthy of a
tribute, I am honored at the kind words.
I've got a lot of respect for the folks here
that have a sense of community and bring
minimal ego to the table. You are a great
example of both, and it's a pleasure to call
you a friend, sir.
Oh, and sweet shot! I've developed the flaw of overlooking great colors in a shot because I'm thinking in b/w. You make me want to go back to the drawing board. haha

A very apt tribute to one awesome photographer by another awesome photographer. Both of you are true scholars and institutions in your own regards. In my inner circle of friends, I have named you "the living Detroit encyclopedia".

Three very cool dudes from what I've seen. I know Tony personally and you / Brian through your photos on flickr. All I can say is that you guys are mega talented photographers that have hearts of gold when it comes to this city. Keep up the great work!

Stopped by here today and a guy on a ladder was tearing the bricks apart and was stealing the sign. If you're hoping to shoot this after today, the odds are the sign will be gone.

Is nothing SACRED to anyone in Detroit?

he was very open that he was taking the sign to sell it and did not want us taking pictures of him or his truck
