About this Weblog

These are the photos you don't see in the pages of The Detroit News. They are outtakes. Extra shots taken between assignments. Images that caught a photographer's eye for one reason or another -- their wit, their action, their compelling content, their universal appeal. We asked our Detroit News photographers to post their favorites to this blog and tell us about the circumstances under which each was taken. Taken together, they give you a good sense of what our staff photographers are up to.
