The Shoe From Peru

[Pete Askew]

What an interesting idea.

Interesting, but most shoes out there (if worn at all) are made from cut up rubber tyres

Interesting project - I once had a Dollar bill which had a website URL on it for tracking - you could log in and register where you received it, and then look at it's travels over time

I love that kind of stuff

Pretty cool. A little like Flat Stanley. Another variation: A camera sent around to different people.

I suppose we could do something in RPF.

 

[Pete Askew]

What would we use?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

A gas mask!

 

[Lesley Jones]

Has anyone got an old teddy bear? I could photograph it and do any repairs before sending it on

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't know, Lesley. A small girl's shoe is redolent with mystery, while a teddy bear is just cute...no?

 

[Lesley Jones]

Not really. I don't have the time now, but for a few years I rescued tatty teds from eBay. I have one WWI mascot, a tiny little thing so full of repairs there is bear..ly any bear left. A bear who was collected by an elderly gentleman who had to cut down (reluctantly). I've had bears with their head sewn to their necks, bears that cames with separate arms. One clearly showed running repairs, maybe in WWII, due to lack of proper metal parts. I have one of the first little metal bears with virtually no covering left. I think they all have stories to tell...

Wait,...I just remembered we did something like this already,...when @Hamish Gill was looking to revamp his F8 website--some of us (not me personally) shot images of the logo in different circumstances around the globe.

How about a traveling Hugo - where will be pop up next?

 

[Hamish Gill]

My yashica t5 is currently travelling the world ... It will be on its way to Dublin from the Netherlands tomorrow ...

[Hamish Gill]

I'd be happy to send Hugo on his travels and set up a similar thingon the forthcoming RPF blog ...
We might need a smaller Hugo than the current one though!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Anyone is welcome to take part in the traveling yashica by the way ... You just need to be on twitter

 

[Pete Askew]

Great idea with the Yashica Hamish.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Apparently it's been done a few times before, or similar at least... It started with one of the blog readers banging in via twitter about not wanting to pay all the money they cost but wanting one... I thought I'd let him have a go and it kinda went from there really!

 

[Pete Askew]

I have a Mamiya C3 that is doing something similar except no one ever takes any pictures with it!

 

[Lesley Jones]

I like the idea of doing something along these lines. If the kitten doesn't start behaving himself, he might be up as a model...

Who has it now? @Paul Lange still?
