One Pink Shoe

Posted by AG (London, United Kingdom) on 6 July 2006 in Miscellaneous.

Found outside No. 26 : one pink shoe, left.

Sad to see a little item lost like this, sitting on a wall awaiting an owner who may not have yet missed it. The matching roses caught my eye . . .

* someone always picks up the lost bit of children's clothing don't they - as if, as it's a childs, it's far more valuable than any other lost or discarded item. nice composition and soft colours on this one.[reply]david @ 2006-07-06 09:27:24
* dramatic shot, full of stong emotion.... what happend to the child?
that is the first reflex of a parent
(dramatic in the light of recent tragic events in my country)

* Understandable thoughts, Hans, but, nothing sinister. It had fallen from a buggy and been picked up by a passerby and placed on the wall hoping they’d come back looking for it.[reply]AG @ 2006-07-06 10:04:49
* I wonder why it is that there is always only one shoe, boot or glove?[reply]john @ 2006-07-06 12:01:34
* Great colour, the pink is really vibrant. I always find these lost items so melancholy.[reply]jane @ 2006-07-06 12:44:07
* Very nice find. I like the dof and the wall, the isolation in the green.[reply]Dave @ 2006-07-06 14:19:10
* Even something as simple as a lost child's shoe... you turn into a wonderful photo![reply]Michael @ 2006-07-06 15:16:13
* This shot is really touching and resonant of all sorts of things. All done with a simple shoe. Wonderful stuff.[reply]fotojo @ 2006-07-07 00:01:33
* Poor thing probably was tired of walking and lost this pretty little sandal while being carried by Daddy.[reply]micki @ 2006-07-07 04:19:54
* Wonderful picture. Nice subject.[reply]Angad @ 2006-07-07 05:17:40
* Thank you to Jane, Joanne, Micki, David, Hans, John, Dave, Michael and Angad for your very engaging Comments on ‘Shoe’. When I drove past today, it was still there . . . [reply]AG @ 2006-07-07 20:19:19
* This is a very evocative image...probably because it is a child's shoe...and the associations we all have with children (either our own children or our memories of our own childhood). Nice composition and the story the image tells/creates.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-07-08 19:52:39
* Thanks, Jeff - it does seem a touching image.[reply]AG @ 2006-07-09 19:36:59
