New Perspectives

I decided to take pictures of my common black Converse shoes. These shoes have seen things like mission trips, the Grand Canyon, and my first days of college.  The different angles that I photographed show the wear and tear from over the years, which is the reason I love these shoes. Mud on the side of my shoes reminds me of the beautiful rainy days of recent , and the heart, drawn by a close friend, reminds me that they are never very far from me. When I look at my shoes I am reminded that they are not just another pair of old shoes; they are a bundle of memories that have the potential to be with me for years of adventures, which at the moment, I can only imagine.

  3. I really super enjoyed the fact that you chose your black chucks. They are so simple yet the memories they hold can make them so complex. The angles are really interesting, good job!
