Shoe Find #20

Double Shoe find from Marco! I am very late with this, I think it was sent to me 14th October 09.. On Hornsey Road, Finsbury Park, London..
There looks to be some clothes too. And a can of 1664. The shoes look fine really.. No reason to leave them footless..

Shoe find Numbers 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19!!!

These Converse above were found by Marco in London a few weeks ago(Camden area?). White shoes on a white ledge! What's wrong with these shoes? Another pair too.. hm..

ALSO
I have been away for 5 weeks near Berlin in E.Germany taking part in an art residency in Beelitz-Heilstatten. (Google the info if you want the history.)

There are loads of old TB hospital buildings, that were taking over by the Russians in the late 1930's and they left loads of SHOES! SOVIET SHOES!!
Have a look!!!
A PAIR^^^^(I took these shoes and put them in my studio..)





Another pair below, one in the sink too, foot wash?
Hmm...

O_o

Shoe Find #11!

Saturday 18th July 09!
Okay! This is another pair.. But in a bin! Just near Tottenham Court Road, London..
I recon a good explaination for this is that someone bought some new shoes and binned their old ones.. Kinda acceptable! It was a Saturday afterall! Even though these shows look still quite new..

Shoe Find #10!

Old Street, London, July 12th
Nicely spotted by Louise On Old Street last night. Another PAIR!

Quick change of shoes before the bus arrives? Likes to travel on the bus barefoot?
It makes you think..

Shoe Find 7 & 8 & 9!

Hello!

Back track to June 6th ish. Shoe find 7;

Hyde Park Road.. small persons shoe.. Nothing normal there then?  Shitty area.. Shitty shoe. The kid should learn to take care of his possessions..  

Now back track just a little to around the same time last week, but in London! (yeah first London one!) Shoe find 8!

hmm.. Another smart shoe.. If someone has actually lost a pair.. Try looking around east London then go collect the one in Leeds.. This one was found by Marco..

And now yesterday, June 8th.. Finally. Shoe find 9! Just off Liverpool Street in London, my first pair!!! 

Found on top of this ledge on these offices. 

Hmmmm

Update Shoe Find #6.5

Update on the shoe find near my house.

It's been kicked down a stairwell thing, and it's living there with the rubbish and creepy-crawlies.

Shoe Find #6

Okay!!! This is a great one. A posh shoe find OUTSIDE MY HOUSE!!!
Hyde Park, Leeds again.. Soon not to be my house anymore.
Today, Thursday 14th May 09.
It's still there if you need to claim..



I recon it belongs to some big shot who parks outside on the street every weekday clogging up the road sides from 8-6pm for everyone else.. Bah.

Even in my dreams I see shoes..

I had a dream last night that I saw quite a few shoes in the street, including some dangling off a motorway bridge, in my dream I got out my dslr and started to take photographs, but it had no batteries in, so I got out my compact instead. (Always have a backup, even in dreams)
I was very much looking forward to uploading them this morning.... :(

Shoe Find #5

Grantham, Almapark area ..
My sister took these photos, of some pink trainers on the street telephone wires... Oh dear.
It looks pretty high up, so I applaud the accuracy of the thrower, whoever that may be..
Thanks Amanda :)

Shoe Find #3 & #4

This is how 'cool' Hyde Park is..



Chestnut Avenue, Hyde Park, Leeds.
I have nothing too much to say about this find.. Stupid student-ville activities..
With Easter over, students are coming back to Hyde Park in twos, probably on a fucking boat..
Yippieyay. Safe to say, if you have lost this particular pair of footwear, it's probably best to get a new pair, if you haven't already..



Also, my friend Diana spotted this shoe in the road (21.34pm on 27/02/09, outside 'the wok mania' corner of harold walk/thornville street) It's the most creative use for an abandoned shoe I have seen... Donated image below by Diana :)
Innit.

Shoe Find #2

Okay, another shoe. A trainer this time. Another in Leeds, the old international swimming pool.
A black trainer. Not too far from syringes and other dark shit.
A rubbish photo, I was too busy looking out for where I was standing.

If you are the person who has lost this shoe, please don't come anywhere near me..

Shoe Find #1

Today, not in London, but in Leeds, somewhere on a dirt track near Woodhouse. There was another one nearby.. What makes people loose/take off/forget their shoes? This finding was a bit weird as it might have been a dark story..
Well, if these are your shoes.. They are here, a bit chewed and wrecked, but if you still would like them..

Mainly a London lifes look at from now. Manifesto of sorts..

We always find pairs of shoes laying in the street in London.
This will be a little bit of space dedicated to this phenomenon..
Pictures of shoes with the location and date if possible so if the owners of the shoes come across this text, they may be able to trace back their steps (!)..

Also, to all the funny things I see and document..

Also, any fun places to laugh at or just to go to for the experience..

ERmm.. Probably just a space for me to look back at observations and laugh. *Hello me.*

This Photo below was one I took today of one of those charity pet food bins that you see in supermarkets.. This one was in Morrisons (kirkstall road) in Leeds.. (not London).

Made me and Marco laugh....

That's all for now.
More funnies (for me atleast) will be added as I find them..
