I wonder what the story is behind this photo. I can share the details behind when I took the photo and where … But why that is what I don’t know … Why were these personal belonging left under a bench on Main Street … However, to me the photo says trust … What does it say to you?

that’s brave to leave everything out in the open.
maybe someone left things and went for a jog =)
Around here it says, “Call the police.”
Trust for sure! Don’t know if I would be that brave, unless I was nearby where I could watch it all. Don’t know that I have ever lived in a place where I felt that safe…at least as an adult.
Maybe it says “blonde” (no pun intended). Did you look behind the bushes?
It says “forgetful” to me.
I think what is most interesting is that there are no shoe laces on the far shoe.
Or that I can’t spell my name =P
jazzy, I had the same thought about jogging but on a closer look the shoe laces are missing from the boot on the left of the photo. This leads me to speculate they are shopping for shoe laces.
Abe, sadly I had the same thought but then it quickly passed and I decided to take a photo instead.
ann, maybe you could write a story about the photo and the missing shoe lace.
Leonda, funny. You may be closes to the real story.
pat, that is a possibility.
Adaam, very observant.
I’m imagining a secret exchange network, a sort of identity switching drop spot. An upper-class, hard-working couple calls through the hotline to say, “My wife and I need an escape!”
Operator: “We’ll leave a change of clothes beneath the bench at such-and-such street. You’ll rendezvous with a taxi at 0900 hours and be escorted to your destination. But we’re short on common-man style shoelaces, so please provide your own.” =)
seems like Harvin took you up on your suggestion to me :-)
here in the DC area a scene like that would require an evacuation of all persons in the area, schools “locked down” and an investigation from the bomb squad
