stuff

This week it was suggested by two family members that I should start a blog. Now I am not quite sure how to take these suggestions. Were they saying that I have something interesting to share for all and sundry or that I babble on about the most inane things that perhaps others should benefit/suffer.
My mind does inquire into the most absurd, which motivates me to create, so perhaps there are others that wonder why the universe throws us these things to ponder over.
When I was a teenager, my then boyfriend and I would take road trips to surfing spots up the East Coast of Australia and to keep it interesting I would list the foreign objects I saw along the side of the road.This mainly entailed road kill, but more often enough there was the occasional abandoned shoe. This started thirty-blurr years ago and recently I have been documenting the evidence that it just is not my imagination. I now have some 30 odd photos of the phenonema of the single shoe on the side of the road.
A lot of you would also notice this phenonema without really putting a story to why they are lying there in the most bizarre spots that one would abandon their one shoe.
Perhaps some of you have thought "why,how,when,whose?"
Let me know what you think as I also have many more questions and perhaps a thesis is in the making!
I will share some of my photos (gathered in the most dangerous acts in the name of art) in further posts.
