Apart from your Mum, Dad, Wife, Husband, Partner, Brother or Sister etc what do you consider to be the "indispensable" in your life? The thing you cannot do without. For me, it is comfy shoes. My poor old badly shaped, bunioned and kankled plates of meat require shoes with soft leather, memory foam innards and an ability to take whatever is thrown at them. Something like this:
Farewell Old Friends.... by Pete Tachauer, on Flickr
Farewell old friends. We were comfortable with each other from when we first met in Sydney. We walked Australia twice and New Zealand once…….beaches, hills, city streets, forests; and you never let me down. You were with me when I broke my leg at Doubtful Sound. You cherished and cared for my poor old plates of meat, my swollen Kankles without complaint……even when I tore you off my aching limbs and dumped you in the corner at the end of the day. I rarely cleaned you; but this selfish act on my part only served to make you more resolute and take on an air of scruffy and impoverished dignity.
The laces (unless double knotted) came undone at regular intervals. But, it did me good to struggle like a ****** down onto my knees, tuck my belly/bellies aside and break out in a breathless sweat as I attempted to reach them to retie them…..and then struggle to get back up again (unlike James Brown who could get down, get up again and do his thang. But he's dead now so what does he know now?)
Your too slippery sole caused my foot to slip off the clutch of the Z4 I recently purchased....whilst in first gear. Hitting the builders skip some 2 yards away doesn't appear to have done too much harm.
Caused me to brake left footed rather than press the clutch to change from 4th to 3rd whilst entering the M25 induced cardiac arrest...almost..... when I saw the 32 ton lorry bear down on me.......the driver; sausage sandwich in one hand, coffee in the other hand, eyes on his TV, feet up on the dash; totally unaware of my rapid deceleration from 70 to 30.
Frankly, you are too big for the task, too indelicate; with your boat like dimensions, to be allowed to play with my life AND give the fragrant Mrs T the proof she is desperately looking for to show that I should not have the car at all.
I have squeezed every ounce out of you, my bunions have pushed you out of shape......no one else could ever wear you and it is time to say farewell and……..oooh, look Clarke’s Shoes has a sale on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, show me indispensable. Maybe even include the reason why.
The Challenge will run for just over two weeks from tomorrow the 23rd February 2018 until Saturday 10th March 2018.
All the usual Challenge RULES will apply, including:
1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select some from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the images in order to enter it.
2. Only one entry per salon, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement pictures that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo-challenge, after all!
4. The winner will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Challenge, and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the SC Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - that opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
5. The curator cannot enter his or her own salon
