Visionary Shoes

I had this interesting and mildly creepy idea to photograph the shoes of people who are at the museums that I visit. Ever since I was a kid in church on Sundays I would look at people's shoes as they walked up for Communion and try to figure out what kind of person they were, based solely on their footwear. When I took these pictures at The Visionary Arts Museum in Baltimore, Maryland I noticed that everyone was very blue-collar. I like knowing that the everyday sorta person is still interesting in art and culture, that it's not something reserved for only the upper class. I mean, they may buy art, but at least us working class folk can appreciate it without emptying our piggy banks.
