​​Colfax Avenue is the main street that runs east–west through the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area in Colorado. As U.S. Highway 40, it was one of two principal highways serving Denver before the Interstate Highway System was constructed.

Playboy magazine once called Colfax "the longest, wickedest street in America." However, such activities are actually isolated to short stretches of the 26-mile (42 km) length of the street.

On a chilly Saturday morning, I walked down Colfax to shoot one of the most interesting streets in the city of Denver.

The people, liquor stores, cheap car dealerships, bars and motels that dot the landscape of Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado.
