The Urban Landscape of Denver
the breathing dragon
fire and smoldering smoke
canvas of stucco
writing on the wall
the clone on the loading dock
weeds pushing through cracks
the perimeter
protected by eleven
strands of barbed wire
cinder block message
the walls are talking to me
providing respite
exploring denver
alleyway by alleyway
hording its treasures
The Urban Landscape of Denver, Colorado
living life so well
death will tremble to take us
thinking and drinking
life on the front range
the good, the bad, the ugly
showing you Denver
The Way I See It

To be honest, I have hundreds of images of Doors that I have yet to share. Thousands waiting to be made into projects, and tens of thousands that probably need to be deleted. I keep hearing that storage drives all eventually fail. If that is in fact a true statement, then I need to start seriously considering making a collection of prints to save.
Hope you enjoy the door.

Abandoned in Denver
Denver Street Art
I think what draws me to street art, or graffiti, or just anything thrown up on a wall in general is the fact that I always wanted to do something like that. I loved to draww as a kid, and that has followed me throughout my life as well. I just never had the determination to make anything out of art. As a kid, I actually even sold a charcoal drawing of a cocker spaniel to a math teacher in middle school who just happened to love those dogs. You would think that would encourage me to believe that my art was good enough to make a living on, but it didn’t. I have always struggled with self-doubt. I basically gave up on drawing and painting because I knew deep down in my heart that my stuff would never quite be up to snuff. I still draw with my daughter, and if there is a writing utensil and a scrap of paper around you can be sure that I’ll be doodling on it. I appreciate Denver’s Street Art scene because I know the skill and dedication it takes to create something like that. I literally have thousands of images of the street art around town. I just don’t know what to do with it all. there is already a photographer out there archiving it all. I feel like I am just repeating his work. If anything it seems as if these images will serve as memories of the wonderful times I had exploring Denver’s crazy good street art subculture.
