Get In The Spirit With Classic Robert Grant Photos From Western Colorado

These galleries are fun. These came from the second drawer of Robert Grant's yellow file cabinet. Sorry, those are generic terms I use to distinguish where these photos from his personal collection were located.

Some come from the box marked "Bob Photos Box A" while others come from manilla envelopes with no designation. This pretty much wraps up the hand-developed prints from Bob Grant's private collection. My next project: hundreds of thousands of negatives needing to be scanned.

On Second Thought

While reflections of Colorado winters tend to generate happy thoughts, there is a dark side to the season. Some of the photos in the gallery below feature train derailments, car crashes, and other catastrophes.

Please enjoy a handful of Robert Grant photos from around Western Colorado. Keep in mind, that most of these are at least 70 years old. Like always, keep your eyes open for faces you might recognize.
