Cropped. I should have skipped today but I've skipped too many days lately.

There used to be a subtitle to this series of photographs that read "it's in the details." Maybe it should have read, "it's the little things" since that could be held to have meaning in so many different ways.

Am I overcompensating for missing yet another day? Truth be told I was sick yesterday. I did carry a camera with me to the walk-in clinic but I didn't take any photographs. Not sure why. But today, I took three photographs all day and I wanted to use all three of them. There's certainly a theme running through them and perhaps that's why I thought it appropriate to group them together. There are sometimes days when I'll take a hundred pictures and I can't pick one I like so it makes me happy to have a day like today where I took exactly three photographs and I couldn't decide between the three of them.

I rarely pose pictures. I can usually find the metaphors "in the wild" as it were. And I suppose in some ways this isn't posed either, or rather the metaphor I was looking for was inherent to the subject of this photograph. Those boots were in pretty reasonable condition when I started working on this house I live in. They've gotten pretty beaten up during the course of things and they spend more time on my feet than they should. It's been a long day and this evening it just made sense for me to take off my boots and socks and stand there barefoot. It might have been more poetic to stand in grass, or a water's edge, but in that moment I really just needed to feel the floor of my apartment. It still doesn't feel like home, but at least it feels like something. Perhaps when all the renos are done I'll take this pair of boots and bury them in the back yard. They've worked long enough it's probably fair to suggest they should be put out of their misery. And with my boots three feet or so under ground I might just have to take a vacation.

We got a morning in at the park before the death illness set in. Sunny and warm late in October. It's nice here in Vancouver sometimes, if you can afford it. I left here to go to work on a Saturday. Such a shame.

I'm usually pretty aware of the days I miss taking photographs. I completely missed yesterday and had no idea. But today, sitting with friends in a bike shop after hours, golden.
