Sometimes you are asked to explore something you thought you already knew and understood. That's what happened over a past weekend in December. We were out exploring the underbelly of sorts of the I-70 highway near the Globeville neighborhood in Denver. There was little expectation and even less premature excitement over the prospects.

In those moments it's a welcome surprise when a location turns out to be as unique and specifically interesting as to prompt some fresh ideas. Not just fresh ideas; there are plans to return and execute some really impromptu portraits, light painting experiments, long exposures, multiple exposures. Ideas are flowing thanks to a short visit in the middle of the night to a location that could have been greeted with higher expectations and still have them surprisingly uprooted from whatever blasé place they come from.

Below is a selection of images that will remain a more permanent fixture on the website portfolio all thanks to an invitation to explore the underbelly of a Denver that the city hopes to demolish for an even more typical and, albeit, white washed experience.
