Coffee

Stopping at Daz Bog coffee near the Granite Building and in the hotel helps keep up the momentum. Also, Tattered Cover before the trip back to Boulder.

Moving forward on the project

Have been photographing a lot in Denver, although dealing with sunlight and shadow. We may have to redo some of the views. Currently trying to cover all of Lawrence St., 14th to 19th. Saw a really interesting show on the local Comcast netw0rk last night about the D&F tower. Will look for views of the tower with the department store "wings," torn down in the 1950's.

We've done 90 photographs. Wynkoop and Wazee were fun; Lawrence and Arapahoe and Curtis more challenging since there are no landmarks to hang your hat on from the 30's and sometimes few from the 70's. The parking lots of the 70's are mostly filled in, it seems, sometimes with parking garages! I'm glad I waited till now to do the project since the contrast with 33 years ago is quite profound. There's been a lot of buildout.

Next time to photograph: Sunday, 3/6. Supposed to be warmer in Denver and partly cloudy (hah).
