My Beautiful Old Boots

I was setting up some still life shoots the other day and had an itch to pull out my old combat boots. I haven't worn them in years, but just can't get rid of them either. I love these boots. I love the way they look and the way I fell when I wear them. So, I dusted them off and had a great time shooting them. This is one of the most dramatic of the photos. I ended up shooting like 150 photos of my boots over 2 different nights. Thank heavens for digital and no film costs! I incorporated some flowers in the second night. I'm still working on editing those and will share when I narrow it down to the one or two that I absolutely love. Anyway, back to this photo. I love the contrast in it and how you can "feel" how worn and loved these boots are. The original still life shots weren't nearly as exciting and haven't really gotten more than a look or two from me. Maybe I'll share them at a later time . . . and maybe not.
