Thanks!  That was the important part of my little social statement.
I was trying to make this look like a bit of a twisted postcard.

Thanks, Milana!  That was my point in shooting this image. . .

Yes, there are a lot of "juxtaposition" or photo "statement" opportunities on or near Indian Reservations.  Most of them are either sad or maddening. . .

Hmm... I could tell you stories!
Even in our school system, people just don't get it.
They've been doing "whatever" for so long, without thinking
of the effect on the children!

All of these parents actually want their children to succeed, but they don't have the skills (as parents) to know how to prepare their children for school.

I saw that you sent a Note.  I'll read it before I go to bed tonight.
(I'm going to do a little office work, edit photos, and halfway watch the World Series shortly. . .)

Thanks Jon!
I was attempting to create a treatment of this scene as a 1950s or 1960s postcard, like those that were popular of Route 66 during those periods.  Only those postcards depicted places where you would want to stop your car and get out.  This is not one of those places.

Hahaha, the "lovely" in my opinion is because these images are something I can only see on the screen, watching US movies It's somewhat "exotic" for us Europeans who don't have something like that here

It's ok, dear.   I was only teasing you. . .   What I was thinking will take some explanation.  It's true, a European would have no reason to know what I was trying to express.  Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it!

Good, I'm just glad that you realize that I was not making fun of you.   I would never do that to you, because you would never do such a thing to me. . .

Of course I'm aware of that, you really don't need to worry And I am a "joking type of person" so I rarely offend even when someone really makes fun out of me I simply make fun out of him too

No, because I don't have the closet space.  I still have way too many pairs of athletic shoes.

Just how many pairs of athletic shoes does one need?

I suppose that depends!  Let's just say fewer than I own.  But I defy you to stand over me and try to make me throw away a pair!

No I'm not!  Yes, I have more dress shoes than a 20-something would, but not really a lot.  Why?

I am only comparing myself to what I see of male co-workers.  Ya know we men never really notice what other men wear. . .   There's no way that I have more pairs of shoes than you!

Cinnamoncandy In reply to maxlake2 [2014-10-24 03:03:54 +0000 UTC]

Then how can you compare anything if you aren't noticing what the other guys are wearing?

Oh I'm thinking it's possible considering you won't tell me how many there is.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

maxlake2 In reply to Cinnamoncandy [2014-10-24 03:12:30 +0000 UTC]

I notice enough to know whether a male co-worker owns more than one pair of brown shoes, and one pair of black shoes!

Alright, if you mean office and evening dress shoes, I'd say 7 or 8 pairs.  But I can think of 3 pairs off the top that I almost never wear, because they aren't comfortable!  So there!

Cinnamoncandy In reply to maxlake2 [2014-10-24 03:25:19 +0000 UTC]

I think that's taking pretty good notice!

I'm talking about your precious athletic shoes too.

OK, I am probably down to about 8 pairs of sneakers.  But each pair has a purpose!

Down to.... how many was there to begin with?   Purpose as in one pair helps the O's win and another pair helps the Ravens win, etc?
