There have been numerous instances where I have passed a shoe up and not gotten the photo for whatever reason, running late, bad spot to stop and so forth, with the intention to come back to it later and get the shot. Much like I have done for a long time. Well normally when a shoe is lost it stays lost for some time so there is never the worry that it will not be still there in a day or so. No big deal to pass one up. But that has not been the case lately here in Pensacola. Those shoes I have been passing up have been disappearing!!!! I would say almost 8 -10 shoes so far. So what I have been having to do, is either make myself stop and get the shot, or come back asap! I think I have been a step ahead lately as I have been getting the shoe photos and finding those shoes gone in a day or so.
I do recall a teenager tell me at one of my exhibitions here in town that he loved my project and has somewhat “borrowed” my idea. Which is not a problem, just stop taking my lost soles off the damn road!!!!! If it is you of course, and if you even read this blog. Not really sure anyone does but me anyway. i know Sharon doesn’t. I like to think that is because she lives it all first hand, or hears me tell the stories, and not because this blog bores here :)
