Mapping Center City: Block by Block

For this assignment I had to walk on one street from river to river. I choose to walk west on Walnut. Here is my shoe, feet, leg filled journey west...
Here is a mirror shot of the shoes I wore that freezing Wednesday. I had really comfy wool rich socks (Thanks Aunt Shelly:) ) on beneath my awesome rain boots (Mom you're awesome), so my tootsies stayed warm and dry all afternoon :)! I also took a garbage bag with me so I could lay at street level and shoot, I got more than a few weird looks and stares.

The last picture was taken on the bridge. A taxi had crashed there and I was the first on the scene :). The ambulance came a nanosecond later... to my relief everyone was fine, so I began to take pictures.

    The eighth shot is my favorite...you have a lot of diversity in your shooting techniques. Was this your idea to take photos of shoes? I like it. I also like how each block features a different style yet doesn't expose the economics of center city, which often becomes tiresome and less moderate in your journalistic approach. Instead, we get flashes of all different types of shoes (or people) and are drawn to common items we overlook everyday. Next time, I'm walking with my head down :)
