Texture Tuesday - The Number Two eDition



"I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty."
Imelda Marcos


I photographed these shoes at this garage sale early in the spring. For some reason I was really drawn to them. Who wore them? Where did they wear them? I liked the way they were just sitting there among the books and old tins - just like they were in an attic.

For Texture Tuesday where the theme today is 'Two"
I used one layer of "not too shabby" on saturation, two layers of "scratched magic' on screen, and two layers of 'sweettart' on soft light. All by Kim Klassen.

    These shoes, and the edit is awesome. I like the whole scene with the old hat boxes and tins.

    What a great image! (I'd really like to go to a garage sale like that! Not for the shoes, but for everything else.) Love how you've edited this.

    Really great photo, viewpoint and composition. I consistently like your style of texturing- always a pleasure to look at. The not too shabby is one of my favorite textures- that a perfect blend you've got with the scratched magic.
