Take Your Art to Work Day: People's Shoes

I am always trying to figure a way to bring my real life with me when I go into the office--it keeps me sane. I've written about this in many posts. There are a million things you can do to shake up the way you view your world--one way is to study one ordinary thing and collect it. Here's this week's collection: people's shoes.

What can you tell about the people you work with by looking only at their shoes? There's something that's engaging about asking co-workers on a cold Tuesday morning if you can photograph their shoes. Something in them PERKS UP. Something in me perks up too. We suddenly become CONSPIRATORS. And behold:

Kim's shiny boots

Evrod's Loafers

Adrienne's brown buckles

Ronnie's blue notes

Carmella's Black Points
