Scooby's by andycoleborn

Scooby's

I thought when I started this project back in October 2009, that a photo of some shoes would appear within a month. So to make it through a year and a quarter before being used as subject matter surprises the hell out of me...

I drove down to Hampshire to see my parents this afternoon, went out for lunch then a drive down to the beach... It was incredibly windy with very few people about. I took a couple of photos but nothing pleasing.

I was planning on uploading a beach photo, but like I said, I wasn't really happy so decided to stick the 50mm lens on and look around for something to take.

As I'd worn these shoes today, I decided they'll do... I know these aren't converse or any decent make, but they were a bargain... £1 in Tesco's clearance sale last summer...)..

In case you're wondering... Scoobys = Scooby Doo's = Shoes (cockney rhyming slang)
hey you could do a whole series on cocky slang and I would learn so much slang. :) cool shoe shot and damn what a bargain

You mustn't look upon it as defeet Andy. More as sort of comfort for the soul.

Great shot. I love the way the shoes overlap and focus on the toe. It seems that they are speaking, discussing the upcoming trip. It makes them alive.

Great shot of the Scooby's. You really have a great eye for composition and lighting...even an ole cheap sole looks good!
