In his shoes

In his shoes

Even before I walk a mile in his shoes, I judge him comfortable, more comfortable than I would be in his shoes.

Yoda said...

Those look like very uncomfy shoes to walk a mile in ;-)

That's a neat perspective. He looks relaxed from the way his feet appear in the photo. I like this picture, it makes your mind think of what the rest of the scene must look like.

Great shot! Looks as though he is taking a well-deserved rest; the angle of his feet really tell the story.

Hmmm His left foot seems to be turned at a strange angle. . They do look like comfy boots.

I like the white background. You know I love Mackinac Island, and these carriages are one reason.

Believe it or not, I had shoes something like this in high school. But they weren't working boots, like his. I.e., I wasn't working in 'em!

You know, looking at this again, I also like the whiteness of the background.

Glad you enjoyed my Bridal portraits.
