Want to see Detroit from an unusual perspective? City photographs were taken by a young extreme, Dennis Maitland, of the “dark abyss at the edge”: most often from the rooftops of buildings, but also in the parking lot and in the elevator shaft. All city photographs are built according to the same compositional principle: a dizzying view downward, plus the author's hanging legs. And in the hands of Dennis Maitland at this moment - a camera and a flash. It would seem, why such an inappropriate extreme? “Someone will think that I am young, stupid and careless, - says the author of city photographs. “Perhaps sometimes it is. But I still like to test myself in height and contemplate my native Detroit."
