Could never get on with DMs myself, but Ina has several pairs of varying height. Love the framing of this, Rob. So, what did she settle on then?

Black boots - the ones she is trying on. She absolutely loves them.

Ahhhh I loved my Docs, I was a traditional skinhead for about 15 years and my docs were beautiful! oxblood, 8 hole and antique polished ... I paid about £30 for them and sold them for £125

A woman and shoe's ? Who'd have thought. Good photo Rob I thought it was a gap for a long while rather than a mirror.

Aye, Davie, Docs are a right of passage. They even had a dummy head you could kick, to test the boots - that's not true, but I did ask the young lassie selling them if they had one. She was a bit shocked 
Yes, Julian, a mirror. Get glasses

The only way you can be sure your Docs fit is to stamp on the face of the nearest old person.
It's the only way a young 'un can tell they're now an adolescent with attitude.

I like how you've framed the image with the boots, Rob. Nicely creative.

Thanks, Brian. Not a lot of thought was put into it, I'll admit. I was sitting next to her, saw her reflection, and took the shot. It looks better than I was thinking it would be at the time.

The voyeuristic element makes the image for me I think. You have caught a special moment, apparently secretively.

"Voyeuristic" sounds creepy I can assure you it wasn't. Sneaky, yes
