I'm super excited today because my shipment of
MOO minicards and my minicard holder finally arrived! I loved the way they were packaged so I thought I would share. I had to laugh when I saw the wrapping for the card holder... "Yay!" it says... which is exactly what I said when I opened the mail box!
I was given my first MOO card by a fellow photographer last fall and I loved its size and simplicity. A couple weeks ago I realized I really needed something small with my basic contact information to carry with me when I am riding my bike around town and knew the mini MOO would fit the bill perfectly. I wanted something that could direct people to both of my websites, so I wasn't sure what pictures to put on the front! A sudden epiphany helped me decide this was the perfect way to put to use my ever-growing catalog of photos of my Converse All Stars.
I love that I could upload 100 images and get 100 different cards if I wanted to. I don't have 100 shots of my Converse (yet) and not all of them fit well on the small size card, so I opted to use about 20 different shots.
Who takes photographs of their own shoes, you might ask? Well, I do : ) Granted I don't take pictures of ALL of my shoes, just my Converse. It started one evening at a Mariners-Red Sox game about four years ago. I was having a lot of fun shooting pictures around Seattle that day and was playing with my camera while waiting for the baseball game to begin. At some point I marveled at the contrast and lines of my brand-spanking new All Stars, and snapped a shot. I loved it! From then on, I was hooked.
This is that first shot of my All Stars, taken at Safeco Field in July 2004.
Initially taking photos of my Converse was really just all about documenting their demise as I wore them out.
This is my second pair, in Chocolate, on their first day, September 2006
It wasn't long before taking photos of my shoes became more a way of documenting the places I was when I was wearing them. The above photo was taken last fall at Boulevard Park in Bellingham. I easily remember when and where every shot was taken : )
I call this shot "My Bloody Knees"... it was taken in July 2006 after I wrecked twice on my bike in four days. Ouch! I don't have the Converse anymore, but I still have the scars.
Washington Park Arboretum, October 2007
I was so excited to have scored this pair at a consignment store that I documented them on the front seat in my car on the way home. I think I was sitting at a stop light. I call this shot "Ten Buck Chucks" : )
Christmas Day, 2007
At Birch Bay, June 2008
Watching the season premier of LOST, January 2008
On top of the parking garage in downtown Bellingham, February 2008
Exploring an abandoned home, April 2008
At my favorite beach on Lummi Island, February 2008
This is probably my favorite shot of all. It was taken in September 2006 while sitting in the best seats I've ever enjoyed at a baseball game... in the first row above the Mariner's dugout (it pays to have a good friend who works for the team's owner, Nintendo!) That's Ichiro at bat behind my shoes. Nice.
