Drink My Liquor From An Old Fruit Jar
I was walking up this street with Melinda Green Harvey while we were taking Sam Abell‘s workshop in Los Angeles and we both had the same idea for a photo at the same time.
Melinda’s can be seen here – I like hers because the person under the shoe is cringing a bit, as they should be.
I like mine because it includes an advertisement for a photographer, which seems really appropriate.
I am a bit annoyed though because I just wrote a blog title Squashed Like Bugs.
Then I went to Melinda’s post which I have not looked at for a couple of weeks, and found that her title is almost exactly the same as mine was going to be.
Sure am glad I noticed or there would have been trouble in the blog-o-sphere.
I changed mine to an obscure part of a famous song lyric.
Which I had to look up on the internet because I don’t do song lyrics.
And these shoes aren’t suede, so it is not even a good title.
Geez Melinda, such a trouble maker.

A couple of points:
1. Great minds and etc. re. this photo.
2. You JUST NOW noticed that I’m a trouble-maker?
Because I shot this in b&w, I didn’t even remember how colorful those shoes are; the color is good here, against all the gray (including the weather).

1. Etc, totally 🙂
2. Well, I had hints before, but you were usually masking them with Bruce Cockburn lyrics or other references, like a verbal master of jazz and deflection.
3. I know you often don’t see colour when taking photographs, which is interesting to me. The colour was enhanced by the weather – wet and overcast is perfect for this kind of subject.

Bad weather = good pictures. I think someone smart and famous may have told us that. Repeatedly.
