Never, ever have I seen the water that high at that spot. Did the water ever go over the tracks?

My word... This is where I lived in MKE back in 2008 - 2012. I was wondering how that neighborhood held up to the recent rain. I'm glad to see the walls did their job.

Thank you very much 🙏🙂

Burtynsky is amazing. His work has influenced my own in more ways than one. His visual narratives are second to none.

Same to you 🙂
I went to school just to learn the monochromatic process. It was my first true photographic passion. I believe the lessons learned in black and white can be applied almost anywhere else across the medium.

Be well 😁

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 🙂

A photo of film director Andrew Ilk sitting at a derelict piano for a smoke break inside the schoolhouse music room at the abandoned St. Agnes Church of Detroit, Michigan in 2012. I was here with Andrew as he filmed the documentary "Lightfall" in which he followed my brother, Nathan Ortiz, and me as photographed several abandoned historic architectural sites throughout the Rust Belt region. Andrews's film won a 2012 Midwest Student Emmy in the College Student Production - Long Form category for the finished piece he submitted.

“I would not want “post-card” realism, but I would enjoy “enhancements” of the colors which I fear is not possible with conventional material today.... The scope of control with the electronic image has not been explored, but I feel confident astonishing developments await us in this area.” —A.A.
