Lost Soles Everywhere!

I stumbled upon these lost soles, strewn across the 3 mile bridge in Pensacola on a wet and foggy morning. Lost Soles 329 through 341.

I stumbled upon these lost soles, strewn across the 3 mile bridge in Pensacola on a wet and foggy morning. There were a total of 17 Lost Soles, in this photo #329 through #341 are visible.

I have been noticing that there are more and more photos being taken of lost shoes and being titled lost soles than I ever before on the web. When I first started this project I was one of the only ones taking them. I know I was not the first to start noticing and photographing lost and abandoned shoes, nor the first to call them lost soles, but I am pretty sure I have the largest collection of images, and the only one who has dedicated lost soles to actual lost souls.

But now my images are not even coming up on the first 3 pages of google images when the keywords Lost Soles are used to search with. While I cannot take full credit for the recent influx of Lost Sole images, I have to think some of them are inspired by my One Shoe Diaries as some photographers directly reference me in their blogs. It is very cool to see that I am not the only person who is enthralled by the mysterious lost soles, just the most-obsessed :)

On another note, after looking at the photo, I should have picked up the over-the-door plastic hooks lying bedside Lost Sole #329 as I have been meaning to get some of those for the coat closet.
