This project started with a picture I took of my Crocs on the beach in Florida. At the time my cousin was submitting photographs based on an assignment given each week from a digital photography website. Around the time I took the picture her assignment was to photograph circles; she took a picture of bubbles in a glass of champagne, I took a picture of the circles in my Crocs. After taking the picture I got to thinking it would be a fun (and funny) way to document my summer with pictures of the shoes I was wearing for different activities. When I started this project I didn't have a blog so had no plan how I might share my idea with others. Now that summer is over and I have the avenue of my blog to display my project, here it is...
Walking on the beach at sunrise.
New Smyrna Beach, FL
Billy Joel concert; worth every penny.
Taken in the parking garage at Mohegan Sun Casino after the concert. If you ever have the opportunity to see Billy Joel in concert, GO!!!
Open Cup match: New Britain, Connecticut.
For the second year, the New England Revolution (Revvies) played in the US Open Cup tournament and their "home" games were played at a fairly small stadium in New Britain about an hour away from us. They won this game after 90 minutes of regular time, two 15 minute overtimes and penalty kicks - very exciting. Unfortunately they were eliminated in the next round of the tournament which was played in Washington, DC.
Farmer's daughter gardens in flip flops.
Taken in my dad's garden while he was away this summer. And no, gardening in flip flops isn't the best idea, but I didn't say I was a gardener!
Family gathering on Grandma's back porch.
This family dinner was held on the back porch because my aunt Patty said she could hardly remember the last time we ate out there. Unfortunately she ended up at the emergency room with Bea and still didn't get to eat out there. Although not obvious by the picture, there were definitely a lot of people there because I wouldn't go out there alone as that back porch is a magnet for snakes.
September 11th. Revvies match. Gillette Stadium.
Everytime I go to a Revvies match, I want to go to more. Watching on TV is good but being there in person is way better!!
So, although that's not everything I did this summer, it was everything I did that I was willing to take a picture of my feet at. I realized along the way one might look a bit silly photographing their feet. I hope everyone enjoyed their summers, wherever their footwear took them. Happy Fall!
