Look Down

Bill Cosby once said, "Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing." To truly see the world around us, we must look beyond the familiar and expected. Sometime last year, I began aiming my camera towards the ground. So often as a photographer, I tend to look up at the world, the sky, the horizon. Yet the subjects below are also worth capturing. The ground we walk on and the shoes--or lack of--we wear as we journey through life reveals curiosities spelled out in cobblestone, mud, concrete and sand. Each step tells a story. It's all about perspective...
