I was hoping that nobody would walk around the corner (or from behind); would ruin the picture, think I'm odd and/or mug me...

A passing U Bahn train in the Berlin underground. Images like this always remind me of the film Jacob's Ladder.
Hot off the Memory Card: The Abandoned and the Renovated
The Abandoned and the Renovated
Old boats are abandoned near Blackroack Castle which has been renovated and given a new lease of life as an observatory!
inphotos.org: Derelict and red brick
A long unused, derelict and run down red brick building on the Old Youghal Road. This was shot last September, first time I’d been up around this area in a few years. Nothing much had changed in all those years.

Grannymar: More Shoes
I broke the rules!
I met a man from the internet the other day… I never saw him before.
He wasn’t a hatchet man…. I’m still alive.
He bought me a coffee… then showed me his etchings photographs 
He has this thing about shoes. Now he wants to see mine 
I decided I better give them a clean first…

Back in April 2007 I wrote a post entitled Shoes and on 21st November this year, I had a new comment. It went like this:-
Hi Grannymar,
I picked up on your shoe comments as part of some research that I am engaged in. I am a mature student studying Photography at the University of Ulster and I am currently shooting a Typology of ladies shoe collections. Some refer to this as the Imelda Marcos syndrome but I am much more interested in trying to visualise the emotive aspect of this practice This is an attempt to understand the female psyche through their acquisition,style, storage and treatment of their shoes.
I am currently half way through approximately 10/12 set ups shooting shoes belonging to females in the 20 to 50 age group and I would now like to get in contact with ladies in the 50 + bracket who have the shoe passion.
If you or anyone on this blog would like to consider this photo project then please contact me. I would add by way of assurance as to the genuine nature of this project, that it can be verified through the head of The Photographic Department at The university of Ulster.
Now I am not sure how far Jim is prepared to travel, so BHB and Gail no need to tidy that shoe cupboard yet!
