Me “So what is it with women and shoes?”
Karen “Men rarely understand women and their shoes. You don’t have to own hundreds of pairs. You wear some because they make you feel good, some because they’re lovely or because they’re comfortable or practical and some because they’re significant and they’re associated with memories or events.”
The intention with the project was always to try to raise a little money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan gave me fantastic support throughout the project. They listened to my initial pitch and said, “oh, that sounds interesting, why don’t you come for a cup of tea and we can chat things through.” They are like that at Macmillan. They care.
There are many people who have helped me both directly and indirectly with this project. A big thank you to everyone I photographed. I had a great time taking these photographs, people were both generous in spirit and with their time. My abiding memory is that there was a lot of laughter along the way.
There are a number of firms who supported this project. The following businesses hosted events in various locations: meeting rooms, hotel lobbies and, in one instance, an empty floor in their building. So thanks to…
