Exactly what’s Going on Here?

Mmm. Shoes. Shoes are what’s going on.

Shoes? I don’t get it!

This is my new format for my second photo blog.

New format? How so?

Here’s the scoop. My grandmother collected miniature shoes nearly her entire life. I loved her shoe collection and would plead to ‘play’ with the shoes whenever I could. I loved each shoe so much, I would even spend the occasional Saturday morning dusting the shoe cabinet and each individual shoe. I was the only relative that showed any interest in her shoes and when she died in March, 1993 at the age of 91, she willed all the miniature shoes to me.

So there are a lot of these shoes? Just how many are we going for here? 30? 50? 75?

Not exactly. More like, uh, maybe 650.

650 miniature shoes! Really? And so now what?

So now I’m going to work on my macro photo techniques, research each of the shoes, and catalog/document them all in this blog. I’ll try to feature at least one shoe a day and I probably have enough shoes to make this a two year job. Eventually I’m going to convert this blog into a full-fledged website. That’s the long term goal.

And just who is going to visit this blog now and that website when it’s up and running?

Mmm. Me! And maybe my daughters and my best buddies. And the many miniature shoe lovers that are out there in cyberspace. Oh, and Grandma ~ she’ll be taking a peek now and then to make certain her collection is well-loved and getting well documented. Once in a while I even hear her chuckle.
