Present day Downtown Denver lies where Denver City was originally founded in 1858, on the east side of the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek.  Instead of gold, I am lured to this present-day mini metropolis to feel humanity; its confined geographic boundaries focusing my vision.  People from all walks of life, from international tourists and returning office workers to sports fans and residents at leisure, all snake and pulsate their way through the canyons of a concrete checkerboard.  The towering glass buildings reflect and amplify the piercing high altitude light, illuminating the masses far below.  It is against this ground-level backdrop that I observe the ebb and flow of civilization on the city streets.

Most of the images are from 2021 to present.
