Well the Hand and Foot show this month has snuck up on me fast. I just hope I can find the funds to get my images printed and framed halfway decently. This is a small venue in a small town at a small college, but has BIG implications. This is the first ever Hand and Foot show and I hope it can be a springboard to more if it goes over well. I am currently looking for other venues and cities, so if anyone has an idea or a contact to help us get into a gallery it would be much appreciated.
My counterpart, the hand portion, is Linda Bills Shirley and has been collecting lost gloves for over 20 years totally over 400 FOUND GLOVES! We met while I was doing a photo shoot for a client and Linda, her mother and daughter were my models for the day. I had already been told of a lady known as “The Glove Lady” by a friend of mine, but did not realize it was here until after the shoot and we started talking. It was right then the idea of the Hand and Foot Show first got mentioned.
Linda has some really cool gloves and great stories behind many of them, much like my shoes. But instead of photographing them, she picks them up and displays the actual gloves. It is a PERFECT compliment to the One Shoe Diaries!
I can only hope this will be something the media will pick up on and we can get our project exhibited all over the place. But for now I want to make the inaugural show the best I can, who knows who will notice it. Check out the official website for the Hand and Foot Show >>
