 One of the residents of the nursing home where I work is a double amputee. He is most proud of his new feet!

This picture catched me off guard as I viewed the image I said to myself that this was an ordinary snapshot of two shoes, yet when I discovered the leg prostheses it kind of shocked me and suddenly this image takes on new meaning. Who is above taking the picture and what kind of life do they live? The picture sure has impact and meaning when you realize those shoes are connected to prosthetic legs.

This both sad and courageous for the people who actually travel this way--and for the shot as well. For the shot I would have had more of the prosthetic visible (not too much) and perhaps have done it in B&W. You will no doubt receive many comments.

The downward perspective on the shoes intrigue the thought that this person is looking down at their new challenge in life. I like it.
