Urban Explorer-Photographer program
by Rebecca Higgerson 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Last night Brandon Library hosted a fresh perspective on the city of Detroit, and it was very well-received by our enthusiastic audience of 24. The program was presented by urban explorer and photographer Robert Huston, who, as @detroitunseen on Instagram, has over 5700 followers. Robert is a passionate advocate of documenting Detroit’s abandoned architectural history and rebirth. The program is 1.5 hours and he charges $200 (plus mileage if in wide-flung areas of the state). I highly recommend this unique and engaging program. bobhuston66(a)gmail.com For more information on his Brandon Library presentation: http://thecitizenonline.com/detroit-unseen/ Thanks, *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 248-627-9880 (fax) *“We enhance and strengthen community by providing open access to educational information, recreational materials, and programs that enrich lives and promote lifelong learning.”*
