Shoes

My landscape is about shoes. It took my a long time to wrap my mind around landscape not being traditional. But when you think about it...those shoes can take us to any landscape in the world. So how can they not be a landscape in themselves? So many things can be a landscape, but shoes really can show off a person's personality and where they have gone. How do they treat their shoes? Have they gone far? It is very interesting to see what kinds of different foot wear people own, or how many they own. Some only two, others have two of each pair. Shoes can show so many things. I think it would be really interesting to be able to go to different countries with this project in mind (as would it be with any project)....maybe one day.
As for the technical aspect...I really like the bright circle in the middle of this image. You automatically know where to look. The intense color and target-shape really draw the viewer's eye into the image. There is also a lot to look at in the picture. There are a lot of details in the shoes that we often miss on a day to day experience.
