"After Bill Cunningham"
continued...
I'm a person who enjoys repetition which often leads me to focus on a series of things. A series allows me to make connections between things over time. Inspired by
Bill Cunningham, here I go with a series called "After Bill Cunningham."
When you spend a good amount of time on the subway, you will find yourself doing one or all of the following: staring at your phone although you know it won't ring or receive texts because you're underground, staring above people's heads and reading the same advertisements over and over, reading something brought from home, reading something you were handed on your way into the subway, falling asleep, falling asleep on a stranger's shoulder, having a stranger fall asleep on you, holding onto a pole while standing and trying not to think about how many other people have touched the same pole, ignoring the person shouting at someone or shouting at someone not there, holding your breath, or staring at the ground. So this is where I'm at right now, staring at the ground. And inadvertently staring at people's feet.
These boots caught me eye, not because I'm fond of them. But they are visually interesting and demonstrate a real commitment to one's wardrobe. If you're going to rock feathers on your feet, you are
committed.
