without bounds, connected to the world and to its vast country by an aquamarine strait nestled between five of the world's largest freshwater lakes. its capital, industry, and population developed so rapidly that it imploded under the pressure of social strife, and today Detroit stands as a living urban document of the capabilities--and failures--of the American people. But the city chugs along, and its million-odd residents continue to embrace the city's many cultural and historical vestiges--those links to the past that may, one day, be used to revitalize and reignite the city's vibrancy and industrial prowess. already signs of that reemergence have appeared, and its only a matter of time before the city's majestic structures, occupied and abandoned, end up as a pile of rubble or an icon. 2007 - 2011. the city on the strait, Detroit. a city without bounds, connected to the world and to its vast country by an aquamarine strait nestled between five of the... commercials http://www.gsgfilms.com/commercials http://www.gsgfilms.com/following/gsgfilms.com/commercials Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:29:12 +0000 geoff george - cinematographer - photographer 3052969 Chevy "Secret Walls: Kevbee"Director of Photography Chevy "Secret Walls: Fel3000"Director of Photography Detroit Zoo "Vitamin Z: Anteaters"Director of Photography with JB Carlin Chevy Corvette 427 "Candles"2nd Unit Director of Photography (establishings & wides) 1st Unit DP: Keir Yee Nickelodeon "One Direction USA Tour"Director of Photography Chevy "Secret Walls: Kevbee"Director of Photography Chevy "Secret Walls: Fel3000"Director of Photography Detroit Zoo "Vitamin Z: Anteaters"Director of... torino-detroit http://www.gsgfilms.com/torino-detroit http://www.gsgfilms.com/following/gsgfilms.com/torino-detroit Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:36:15 +0000 geoff george - cinematographer - photographer 2021755 The Detroit-Torino Urban Jazz Project Visit the website May 2011 photography exhibition and musical performance with Piero Ottaviano and the Detroit-Torino Urban Jazz Project in Torino (Turin), Italy. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/mostra-ogr-rett_600.jpg" width="600" height="434" width_o="1378" height_o="999" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/mostra-ogr-rett_o.jpg" data-mid="10050799" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/pano-mostra-ogr_600.jpg" width="600" height="231" width_o="2048" height_o="791" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/pano-mostra-ogr_o.jpg" data-mid="10050802" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/lato-dx_600.jpg" width="600" height="309" width_o="2048" height_o="1056" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/lato-dx_o.jpg" data-mid="10050793" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/lato-sx_600.jpg" width="600" height="289" width_o="2048" height_o="988" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/lato-sx_o.jpg" data-mid="10050795" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/teatroregio-dtujp_600.jpg" width="600" height="334" width_o="790" height_o="440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/teatroregio-dtujp_o.jpg" data-mid="10050803" border="0" align="left"/> Founded in 2006 by internationally-acclaimed jazz saxophonists Chris Collins (of Detroit) and Emanuele Cisi (of Torino), the Detroit-Torino Urban Jazz Project (DTUJP) is a music and multimedia project that highlights the parallels between these two sister cities, each united by a shared history of an automobile industry that has been forced to deal with drastic changes in the modern industrial world. Cisi and Collins founded the project initially as a musical exchange between themselves and the universities for which they work (Cisi at G. Verdi Conservatorio in Torino, and Collins at Wayne State University in Detroit), but soon they were joined by Furio Di Castri of Torino, one of the world's most skilled bassists, and Sean Dobbins of Detroit, among the foremost African-American percussionists on the U.S. Jazz scene. The project, funded in part by the Universities as well as the cities, has over the years acquired a broader scope than just music. Now, the project is truly a multimedia exchange, and acclaimed photographers Geoff George (Detroit) and Piero Ottaviano (Torino) have joined the project to offer their definitive photographs of their respective cities as a visual counterpart to the original jazz music. In 2010, Mayor Dave Bing of Detroit and then-mayor Sergio Chiamparino of Torino gave their stamp-of-approval on the project as the official means by which these two sister cities express their friendship. In May of 2011, the project reached a pinnacle when the Jazz musicians were joined by the Torino Filarmonica "900 for a performance at the Teatro Regio in Torino, with original compositions for the orchestra by Carlo Boccadoro of Torino and James Hartway of Detroit, and photo & video projections synchronized to the performance by George & Ottaviano. Accompanying this performance, the photographers displayed selections of their photography at a week-long exhibit at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR), an former locomotive factory-turned-exhibition hall in Torino, as part of the Esperienza Italia events taking place in the city for the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Italian Republic. Currently, the DTUJP is seeking funding to replicate the Teatro Regio performance & OGR exhibit at similar venues in Detroit, with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, for 2012. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/dtujpgroup_600.jpg" width="600" height="397" width_o="1349" height_o="894" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/142759/2021755/dtujpgroup_o.jpg" data-mid="10051335" border="0" align="left"/>From left to right, Geoff George (photographer), Furio di Castri (doublebass), James Hartway (composer), Emanuele Cisi (saxophone), Damian Iorio (conductor), Chris Collins (saxophone), Carlo Boccadoro (composer), Sean Dobbins (percussion), Piero Ottaviano (photographer) at the Teatro Regio after the May 2011 performance.

These images offer views rarely seen because photography & exploration are strictly prohibited and severely enforced in the industrial districts surrounding the river. They were taken from the public waters of the Rouge & Detroit rivers with the permission of the Coast Guard.The River Rouge is a place where industry & wildlife clash in a stunning juxtaposition. Turkey vultures pick at the remains of dead fish along the concrete banks of the river. Just beyond the concrete, the riverbanks sport a narrow band of cattails or grasses, where Canadian geese and blue heron spend their time. Sparrows nest in cocoon nests tucked away between the steel beams of freeway overpasses. Beyond that, enormous factories loom like whales or ships, and barges pushed from as far as Halifax and Muskegon cut through the 180-foot wide waters. Where the Rouge & Detroit rivers meet, the brown hues of the riverwater collide with the aquamarine-blue waters that dominate the Great Lakes, coloring the water with varying rusty & tropical tones.The industrial landscape of the River Rouge was shaped almost entirely by automobile tycoon Henry Ford. His enormous River Rouge complex was the largest integrated factory in the world at the time of its construction in 1928. Here, Henry Ford's assembly line has been perfected: iron ore is melted down to steel and shaped into auto bodies. The frame is pushed down the line towards the end of the complex, and along the way various components are added, from seats to dashboards. At the end of the plant a finished automobile is rolled off the line & numbered and placed on a freight train or semi trailer to be shipped across the world.

And in the river next to the mansion, Henry Ford & Thomas Edison created a hydroelectric dam that doubled as a gorgeous waterfall. It is amazing to travel the length of the river, from where it meets the Detroit River at Zug Island, an enormous center of steelmaking, past the Rouge plant where steel is turned into automobile, to Ford's mansion in the woods, just a few miles upstream. Henry Ford, in his push to become the world's greatest industrialist, aided in the destruction of the same bucolic and utopian lifestyle he created for himself at his Fairlane Mansion and Greenfield Village museum. Whereas Ford created a village with tree-lined streets sided by the historic workshops of Edison & the Wright Brothers and traversed by a tiny steam-powered choo-choo, and built for himself an artificial waterfall at his provincial manor in the woods, the industrialized portion of the River Rouge and the wildlife that call it home are surrounded by criscrossing freeways, piles of deposits, train crossings, and heavily polluted factories. The people who live among the behemoths of industry along the river in the communities of Delray and River Rouge hardly experience the small-town feel of Greenfield Village or the beauty of Fairlane. And one cannot help but think about all those cars, many of which originated from this very spot over the decades, and of all the freeways, stripmalls, tract homes & drive-thrus that have consumed the American landscape as a result. The River Rouge is truly a metaphor of Detroit & its industrial history, and a stunning example of American capitalism & one man's control of a way of life.
