Boat Magazine is a bi-annual publication that moves to cities with big stories to tell. We went to Detroit to create our second issue.

Photographer / Film maker Jonathan Cherry spent a week capturing the spirit of the city. Set to a poem by Edgar Albert Guest, resident of Detroit in the early 20th century and Michigan's only Poet Laureate.

    Chrysler just put out a new commercial. I think you should sue for infringement! Your version is much better.

    Will do. I need to finish some work for a client that's been dragging on a bit. I can't wait to get stuck into the 5D footage. Had fun messing around with the depth of field on the lens that I had on it.
