Photographs by Andrew

A personal blog of photographs taken by me that I wish to share for inspiration, interest and illumination. These images have not been taken with expensive or fancy equipment, just very basic cameras because I believe a photographer's energy should be on the subject not the tools. Each picture tells a story. Comments are most welcome and please feel free to download or share any images you like, except for commercial use. Such use is reserved and subject to license.

Gloves and Mittens Gone AWOL -No 18

OK, yes I know it's summer and few people are wearing gloves in the heat, but I came across this lone example of a glove gone AWOL in a local park –sunbathing perhaps? I assume it must be some kind of sport's glove, but which sport? I´m fascinated by the round pad -is it for hitting something, like a mini tennis racquet, or for protecting the palm when falling from, for example, a skateboard? And isn't it kind of cute that the poor glove has a plastered finger. But, as always, with these wandering gloves, its partner is nowhere to be seen –nor its owner!
