Sweyne's Eye ~ Hand ̶i̶n̶ Glove: Early Shots

Some early shots from the start of my project photographing abandoned clothing in my home town, before I fine-tuned it to concentrate only on dropped gloves. These and other early shots from the project do appear in Sweyne's Eye ~ Hand ̶i̶n̶ Glove, but only as thumbnail images, but I thought these particular photographs deserved a little more exposure, so here they are for your perusal. I don't know, perhaps shoes hanging from telephone wires deserves a little project of their own...

...and finally, I had to share this picture of one of the more unusual items of lost clothing I found during the project - a jester's cap lol.

Here is another of my favourite pics from my new photography zine, Sweyne's Eye ~ Hand ̶i̶n̶ Glove:

Although the images in this book can be read literally as just a series of gloves that had been dropped, left behind and lost by their own, I believe that there is far more to be interpreted from the captured image. They speak of ownership/abandonment, loss, environmental change, of our need as a species to actually get our hands dirty and embrace our place and belonging in the natural world. And, perhaps above all else, I genuinely find the photographs as creepy as bejeesus!
