Artist Reply: Thank you very much Shannon. My daughter has this photo in her living room. I love it every time I look at it. It's just hard to believe that 30 years have passed since I took it. Glad you like it. I really appreciate your stopping by to take a look.
big shoes wear much faster, don't they?...great capture, Mike!
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Nikolay. I sure wish I had saved both pairs of sneakers. I would be taking hundreds of pictures of them. Such a sweet memory. . .forever.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Fiona. My daughter, Katie, just blessed us with a grandson about five months ago. Pretty soon, his feet will be big enough to fit into her little sneakers. And not too long after that, he will be big enough to fit into mine. Both Katie and I just love this sneaker photo. Thanks so much for your comment.
Artist Reply: When it comes to kids, you and I are on the same page Angie. After looking at your portfolio, I knew this shot would get your attention. Thank you for your comment.
This shot tells a story, Mike. Great shot and nice use of sepia!
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Randy. As much as I like good old b&w, there are sometimes when sepia just can't be beat. Appreciate your stopping by to take a look.
damn. this is awesome...and it reminds me how much I love my little daughter too. She is five.
Artist Reply: My little girl just turned 31 this week! They never cease to be treasures. You'll have to set up a shot of your little girl's shoes next to yours. As a painting, I bet it would be out of this world. Glad you like this picture. I truly appreciate your comments.

From the looks of this photo, your daughter takes after you! Ha ha Love you Dad!
Artist Reply: Yes, sepia really suits some images, just like your "fireplace moments." Of course, anything with kids and family is already warm to begin with. Thanks for commenting.
Lovely photo! Wonderful keepsake! I have a similar shot which I consider a portrait of my husband and I (two old pairs). ;-)
Artist Reply: Yes, your "two old pairs" definitely have a lot of miles on them. It's nice when there are so many wonderful memories etched into the soles. I guess shoes have to be old before they have enough character for a photographer to take notice. Thanks so much for your comment.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Krystle. You saw the power of the same theme in your "Baby Feet" photo. Big and little—kids and adults = always a good bet for a favorite photo.
