ihf - Photojournalism

This week's photo challenge at I Heart Faces is Photojournalism - images that tell a story.  In keeping with the theme, I am purposely not going to tell you the story behind this image.  What does this image say to you?



Yes, I broke the rules - no face in this image.
I couldn't pass up sharing it.

  2. Hmmmm... "I lost my boot" ? Or... "I got stuck in the mud and left my shoes behind" ?? :) Great shot!

  3. I'm from the Cedar Rapids area of Iowa that flooded so badly two years ago, and go to ISU which flooded this summer, so I think of the faces of the family friends whose family memory boxes I had to salvage and mostly throw away for the mother. I think of separation, not only from the boot's partner, but from life as it was known shortly before. Beautiful picture.

  9. Man, I totally went another route with my analysis. Perhaps I watch too much CSI, Bones, TV, or it's because of the anniversary of Katrina. But, I thought of a body drifting in polluted waters.

    Either way, I like the symmetry of the boot half in and half out of the water.

  10. Christine- I was thinking along the same lines of you.... very dark and secretive.

  11. Megan's comment is touching. That is stuck in my head, and that's what my eye sees now.
    I love that the boot can be seen in its entirety because of the reflection. For some reason that is redemptive to me.
