beer? shoes?

Ever since I took my first photography class, I’ve always wanted to publish a book of photos of lost shoes. I see them everywhere and it always makes me wonder –why are there this many shoes just hanging out in the streets on NYC? Sometimes it just looks as if someone has walked right out of their shoes — did their feet hurt so bad they just left them there and walked home barefoot?  Of course, other times, it’s just a case of people throwing out their old shoes, but being kind enough to leave them visible in case someone else needs them.  Still, their placement often intrigues me.

Now, with this lovely blog we have, I can share my silly obsession with the world. I will try to post one a day — hopefully it will get warmer soon and I can start taking more walks

Anyway, I am going to start with my absolute favorite picture — can it get any more absurd?
