For smaller town life in Colorado checkout Walsenburg

Visiting rural places is a common part of being a rural land real estate photographer. In the past four years I have been to nearly every part of New Mexico, and now this work is taking me into southern Colorado, which is where I found the town of Walsenburg. The client wanted photos from the town, so I actually got paid to walk the historic streets and wonder when the heyday of these places were. I strolled past diners long closed, new stores in old storefronts, and a movie theatre that must have been a lot more exciting in 1961 than 2021. I really like having the opportunity to see places I never normally would, and try and feel the memories of what used to take place in decades past.
