Caught this woman taking a break on the lawn before I left a wedding recently. The light attracted me to it, and then the smoke made me pick up my camera.

I went on a “post-modern safari photo hunt” along Colfax Avenue in Denver two Saturdays ago. There sure is a lot to take photos of – interesting stories and characters. The gallery opening of Colfax Love is at Neopolitan Gallery June 14 at 7.

Walking around Bryan’s new neighborhood in Denver, I came across Roy and Twila sitting on their front porch. The afternoon wind was whipping around, cooling down the muggy air a bit, as rain clouds hovered above but never released. Roy, in a dirty wife beater, sat in the corner – ivy framing him on the porch. Twila, a small, elderly lady who liked to talk, sat swinging on the porch swing, with her walker resting in front of her. I stopped and talked with them. Twila bought the house 43 years ago with the money she earned working at a rubber factory for 30 of those years. I took their picture, and left before realizing my lens was on manual focus. So – these shots aren’t perfectly in focus, but I still liked them, kind of.
