Nice Socks...


A lot of my old photos were somehow sucked off of my blog. I didn't have very many followers back then, so I'm going to re-post some of them. Or maybe, it's the first time I've posted some of them. I have no idea!

  3. I noticed the same thing with some of my old pics: they just disappeared. Sometimes technology vexes me!'

    Love this shot, as it draws you in and forces you to think, hard, about who this person is and how he (she? Can't tell) came to be there.

  5. was noticing all the signs in Japanese and was wondering if it was in Japan when I closed the pic and saw the label of Japan. So, I guess that answers my question.

  8. Sadly, we see so many of these guys all over Seattle these days and it surely speaks loudly of the economy. Great shot, Pat!

  14. I'm glad you're doing the reruns. I wasn't around for the begining of your run.

    The picture leaves me with so many questions...I also want to know about the duty free bag!

  16. Thank you for reposting. I was going through your photos a week ago trying to show them to my mom. She's a painter and an amateur photographer, so I knew she'd like your work. I was so disappointed to them gone and meant to ask you about that.

  17. It's a great shot :-) I'm guessing this was taken in Japan?

  20. I think he may be just a tired shopper (tourist) since he is carrying a Duty-Free bag. His feet probably hurt. I'm just guessing. Love the picture.

  29. You have the eye to catch the coolest pics, Pat.

  30. Your label says Japan. But, I saw a lot of scenes like this one during my visit to San Diego and San Francisco. Heck, even ran into a few in St. Louis.

    But, I agree it is worth posting them again.

  31. Do post again! I'm thinking of reposting some old stuff to celebrate my 5th year of blogging. (Nobody read it then but our kids. Maybe not even them!)

  32. This makes me sad.

    Actually, it made me cry.

    So many people unhappy and miserable right in the midst of humanity.

    Really a poignant picture Mr. Patrick Tillett!

  33. Great socks! Maybe he got them Duty free??!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. But where are his shoes....maybe hidden so no one swipes them while he snoozes. Sorry about your losing photos. I lost 12,000 last week. Don't ask me how I did it, but I did. Guess it is old age. Clicking the wrong button at the right time!!!!! Thank goodness I have lots of backups on DVD's. genie
