Jesus’s shoe (at Neimans)

I don’t have the tiniest idea why there was a cache of shoes in the entryway of the flagship Neiman Marcus store. And I had walked all the way past them before the fact that one shoe said JESUS registered in my mind. I did that super annoying pedestrian thing – stopping suddenly on a busy sidewalk and turning around* – because there was no way I was skipping the chance to photograph some authentic religious footwear.

*I make u-turns on highways all the time. A sidewalk u-turn seemed somehow a lot more hostile.

A recent car-free weekend in Dallas gave me the chance to walk around and, you know, SEE details of things that driving around doesn’t permit. And that is how I happened upon this downtown park with a rich array of layers of things to see.

Remember a couple of days ago, when I wrote about trying to learn how to photograph people and how that microgreens kid made it easy? This was practically the same thing – that girl noticed my camera and offered to let me photograph her lunch. You can tell what my counter-offer was. How could I resist those smiles?

I don’t know…but it seems like there are more stories at brunch than at any other meal….

I am trying to make myself take photos of people. It is not anything that comes naturally to me, but I am committed to becoming a better photographer, to expanding my boundaries, and all that stuff.

This kid made it really easy – he saw my camera and asked me if I’d like to take a picture of his microgreens. I made a counter offer: that I make a photo of the microgreens (he was very proud of them) with him in it.

And this is what that looked like.
