    "It is expensive to be mediocre in this world. Quality has always been cost effective. The tragic mistake in history that’s always been made by the well-to-do is that they have feathered their own nests. Today we know that society does not survive unless it works for everybody."

    Select photos from the 1st Jane Jacob’s Walk in Detroit. We explored the communities of Sherwood Forest and Green Acres Woodward. I was reminded of the days during undergrad when we just couldn’t take any more of studio and would slip out to explore these neighborhoods. Simply gorgeous and the community members were so gracious and welcoming. I could definitely see us living here one day…

    "The electricity in the room wasn’t black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Chaldean. It was Detroit, of all colors and ages coming together to give feedback on one of the most important decisions this council will ever make."

    "We shall not cease from exploration
    And the end of all our exploring
    Will be to arrive where we started
    And know the place for the first time"

    NAIAS | January 2012Photos from the 2012 North American International Auto Show. Was hoping for more concepts but overall I like the more subdued, design-driven, consumer conscious move the industry is making. Some really nice looking options this year.
