About This Image

A pair of old boots I found in an abandoned barn on a sheep ranch I was renting about 30 years ago. They were my size and I have worn them when doing dirty work in my garden/yard since then. They have seen a lot of wear.

I normally leave them outside, but the rains in California have started and I decided it better to bring them in. As I did, I thought they might look good in a picture. Here is my first successful still life.

Great lighting. It really brings out the colors of the leather.

Great shot of boots. They do look as if they are about to move. Tie the laces quick!

The great thing about this "still life" is that you've suceeded in arranging the boots so they look as if they are about to move. The left boot is just about to step forward - as if the wearer were dancing. That's a fantastic achievement :)

A wonderful still life. The above comments have said it all.

Fantastic!! You can almost smell the leather. Great composition with good balance between negative and positive spaces.

I wonder about the history of these boots as well. The story these boots could tell will always be somewhat of a mystery, but a good photo like this one can still tell us a lot.
