Our Review

This visual chronicle captures a full week in the life of the Centennial State through hundreds of compelling photographs, offering an unvarnished, ground-level view of Colorado's diverse landscapes and communities. The project, part of a massive nationwide 24/7 publishing event, presents a rich tapestry of daily life, from bustling urban centers to remote mountain towns, all documented within a single, ordinary week. It's a photographic time capsule that moves beyond postcard perfection to reveal the authentic rhythm of the state.

What makes this collection particularly compelling is its commitment to fresh imagery, with the vast majority of photos being previously unpublished, ensuring even lifelong residents will discover new perspectives. The book serves as a powerful visual narrative for anyone with a connection to Colorado, from natives wanting to celebrate their home to newcomers seeking to understand its character. Ultimately, it's a profound portrait of place that finds the extraordinary within a typical seven-day span.
