Plans

As the hot days in Denver start to wane, I will be returning, with Sam, to photograph the street corners in this project. Sam and I photographed Wazee Street last September when the weather was really delightful.

I would like to conduct a few oral history interviews this year with business/building owners, longtime Denver residents, architects, urban historians, other photographers, like Kim Allen--who has done some beautiful work in the same neighborhood.

Sam is interested in photographing LoDo at night, and extending the project above 19th street. Once we're finished with the current streets, I think that will be an excellent idea. He can re-photograph those streets in 10 or 20 years! (This could be endless).

In the meantime, I consult in Denver and often walk through downtown to catch the bus to Boulder. I continue to be amazed by the vibrancy of life in downtown, although the mix of buildings still looks pretty random to me.
