Logging boots

My father was a collector of interesting things. He started collecting coins, sold all of that to buy antique guns. Sold most of that, and bought antique logging equipment, including 16 foot diameter bandsaw blades used for cutting timber into dimensional lumber.

This photograph is one part of a commemorative display that my brother Mark built to showcase some of my fathers logging collection. The display resides behind a divider wall that separates his kitchen.

The logging boots are shot from below highlighting the climbing spikes embedded in the soles of the shoes. The raking light caught my eye on a recent visit and I could not help but make a photograph of the spikey pattern.
