My friend Dave Petering (aka: DP) did a little photo series on fire escapes and so I took a hot minute to catch up with him for a few Q and A's...
TS: (Total Schwarr): How did you get the name DP?
DP: I'm pretty sure you gave it to me, and then you and J Lew started calling me it.
TS: So how did you come up with this concept of capturing the escapes?
DP: I've always liked the look of fire escapes hanging off their buildings. They differ in their look and style.
TS: Where were the photos taken GR (Grand Rapids Michigan) and Detroit area?
DP: Downtown Grand Rapids mostly, in back alleys, old industrial factories. Their are a few from downtown Detroit.
TS: So you think this idea was kinda in the back of your head as a visual exit form of getting outta Wayne town yourself?
DP: Whatever gets you out, sure.
TS: Do you miss "The Beav?" (aka: Beaver Creek Tackle and Beer)
DP: Like heroin...
TS: How many Dark Horse cigarettes do you smoke in a day?
DP: Anywhere between 3 and 29.
TS: What do you miss more, TPF (Toledo Paint Facility) or the TA (Travel Center of America Plaza)?
DP: Sh*t, its like choosing between herpes and leprosy, one can kill and the other just makes you itch a lot.
TS: Awesome. Thanks for the time. Anything else you wanna add?
DP: I'm good, kinda like that mountain dew commercial.
TS: Word.
