The Inn on Ferry Street

In early 2011 my good friend and design colleague Mike Savitski at Savitski Design made me an offer that I didn't want to refuse: take my camera down to a block of wonderfully restored Victorian-era mansions on Ferry Street in downtown Detroit and take as many interior and exterior photos as I could. They would be used in a book he was in the process of designing for the owners of the buildings, which are collectively known as the Inn on Ferry Street.

The book was published at the end of 2011, and over twenty of my photos made the final cut, including the photo on the left-hand page above (the cover photo is by another photographer). Mike found out last week that the book, printed by University Lithoprinters, will receive an Addy Award at the annual Ann Arbor Ad Club party in early February.

A selection of the photos I took can be seen in the Architecture section of the Photography portfolio: http://hammonddesignco.squarespace.com/architecture/the-inn-on-ferry-street/
