Sometimes when I look at my desk I feel overwhelmed - then I remember this picture by the amazing Harry Rhoads and get a little lift. He was always able to get a smile out of people - and he had an excellent eye for framing and lighting a photograph, not to mention telling a story. As "Denver's Phototographer" for more than six decades, Harry Rhoads knew how to take a picture.

The enlargement demonstrates the capabilities of our new software, which now allows users to examine the detail in images like never before. The preview version of the image often hides amazing surprises, as demonstrated in the second set of images, by another of our reknowned photographers, Louis C. McClure. Because of the sharp resolution in glass plate negatives, our high density scans reveal almost microscopic detail upon enlargement - showing here the tiny hairs and pollen in this bowl of anemones.

Thomas Torlino, a Navajo Indian, demonstrates in these before and after pictures the change he underwent in the Carlise Indian School in Carlise, Pennsylvania.

Someone must have had some fast reflexes to get out of the way of the wood spear! Looks like lots of onlookers for this freaky and strange accident. I'm sure we can all make up some great stories!

People have always known how to have fun getting dressed up, and Harry Rhoads was a photographer who knew how to capture people having fun.

We've all encountered messes in our life. Here we have a young woman cleaning up after her mess. And it truly is a mess!

Climb up with these fire fighters and you will most likely enjoy a spectacular view. But don't look down, especially if you have a fear of heights!

With the thousands of images I see every day, using the '3 second rule,' if I find myself needing to look at a picture any longer than about 3 seconds - I'll share it.

Does our lovely lady know who will be in the chamber after her?

Comfortable (with a warm coat) and cozy in winter, but just a puddle in the summer. It was probably a very beautiful sight to see at night, illuminated by lights.
