On to a new series away from the mountains. I went out on an early morning shoot in and around downtown Denver, Colorado. This is not really something I like to do, but something I choose to do. Going out to shoot in nature is generally easy. Creation has a natural beauty to it that is easy for me to get my head around. The urban environment... especially in and around a large city, is much more of a challenge. I have to remember to look past what "I" see, and ask myself, What do I SEE? I'm not a photojournalist or looking to document accurately just as something was. Rather, I want to take what "was" and reflect the idea of a memory, a story, and a past.
Like exercise, stretching isn't fun, but it does end up helping in the long run.
Happy Birthday to the United States Postal Service.
On July 26, 1775, the U.S. postal system was established by the Second Continental Congress, with Benjamin Franklin as its first postmaster general. Franklin (1706-1790) put in place the foundation for many aspects of today's mail system.

Produced 1986-1994.
Right hand drive allows the postal carrier to deliver mail into curbside/roadside mailboxes while remaining seated within the vehicle.
Photo taken in 2020 within West Garden Grove, California. That’s over a quarter of a century after the last LLV was made! It is true to its LLV (Long Lasting Vehicle) name!
Happy Truck Thursday!
