I like her shoes. Day One


Trash Hag
Credit yet to be claimed.

In a Frankie magazine a million years ago, I read about an interesting individual who set out to take a Poloroid picture everyday for a year. The author was probably inspired by this gent. A Poloroid a day from 1979 - 1997. A pretty mammoth effort.

I'm quite taken with the idea of pursuing a similar project myself. This will not be serious photography, just a chronicle of the most interesting scene I've seen in a day.

The photo above was actually taken Monday, 11th August, 2008. I have elected to use this as my starting point because today feels like a Monday anyway!

This particular example of stencil art is very intriguing. I wonder who took the time to buy the paint and paper, make the required cuts, spray by stealth and release their art to the world - taking no credit for it. It's all about the image, not the image of the artist.

We could wonder and wander on the tangent of her context - She features on a wheelie bin.

I wonder where she's going. I wonder where she's been. She's going on a journey. Let's see where she takes me.

If you know the artist, please let me know! 'Hag' is a respectful label in my world. She's wearing red sequined shoes.

Sincerely sincere,
Agnes.
