I’ve been looking at a bunch of great images lately, especially as this is Denver’s “Month of Photography.”Looking at my digital and film archive is always illuminating as it cracks open my vault of memory. I find myself saying, “Wow, I took that?”, and sometimes, “Why did I take this one?” I’m going to share a few photos that may not always be works of art but they resonate with me on many levels.
