My Creepiest Blog Post, Ever

And not creepy in that fun, Halloween-like meaning, but genuinely old-guy-with-a-camera-at-the-coffee-shop-creepy. For some reason, it being a snowy day and all, I decided to take pictures of people's boots, as they were enjoying their coffee.

It didn't occur to me, when I started, that 90% of the boot-wearers in the place would be female. So, I ended up sitting at the edge of the room taking pictures of (predominately) women's feet.

Not that I have a fetish, or anything, but shoes are pretty much the first thing I notice when someone walks into the room.

Lots of Ugg-style boots on display.
Two wildly different styles in the same shot.

No fetish (I swear!), but I do like these.

At last, a guy!


Tony Gallagher joined me. He obligingly posed for me.

Tony took this picture of me. My camera is not quite up to the standards of what he is used to having, as a professional photographer, but I wanted his interpretation of me in the coffee shop.

My other professional photographer/friend, Anthony Camera, sees me like this. (How's this for a self-absorbed section of the post?)

Slouchy.

A guy and a gal (not a "couple", though) sitting beside me. I snuck this one, in the spirit of the "creepy-cam".

Two friends, two styles.

So, that's an hour's worth of boots at Kaladi Bros.

  2. Yes, this is a bit of an unusual post. I like that your photographer friends had such different interpretations -- both interesting, though.

  5. Yeah, every now and then I just like to throw something out there that's a bit off of the normal path for this blog. I just don't want it to be totally boring and predictable.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
