Watching the Genius of Photography (episode 2 actually) today for the umpteenth time reminded me that I'd taken this photograph in the summer and not looked at it properly. I was reminded by Atget's images of Paris that were loved by the emerging surrealists, many of which were of course shop windows. Someone should make a series called The Genius of The Genius of Photography, it's so well made.
I knew the expression 'pins' referring to legs but had to Google what the Cockney rhyming slang comes from. It looks like 'pins & pegs', but there are some great alternatives like 'bacon & eggs' and 'dolly pegs'. I think I might start trying to incorporate more Cockney into my everyday speak, I do have London roots but they are more South (Saff) London than East London, where I think it originates. Anyway this is all to illustrate a new picture that sits quite neatly with an older picture. So brogues, legs and a sea view from my two main muses. This might be turning into a set... Oh by the way the top view is Morecambe Bay and the lower image is from The Wirral looking across towards Wales. The North West of England is a beautiful place, with some stylish residents.
