gloves in the rain
the top one is clearly a glove but the second two below ... well you'll just have to take my word for it
the day we went to play on the motorway
here's a bit of a story for you. i've haven't really posted much life stuff on this blog as i've been doing that elsewhere.
however, i thought you might find this interesting.
yesterday in between (and during) rain showers we walked on a new bit of motorway in central auckland
it was open for 4 hours only as a celebration of all that is great about motorways and engineering and being a kiwi.
this giant blue crane was the magic behind constructing the new motorway bridge
and next weekend it'll be shut to traffic so they can do the final switcheroo
so for one day only you could walk along and enjoy the view and inginuity
in the rain
beside the view over the sides there were plenty of bollards to admire
and you could look down at all the spare bits of bridge they had left over (that always used to happen with airfix kids didn't it)
there's the motorway going up the hill in the distance just to prove it is all connected.
and here's some detailed instructions about the big blue crane thing
to be honest, it didn't look particularly solid from underneath. but i did an electronics degree, so what do i know.
there were hundreds of peoples taking their sunday afternoon stroll on the road
and it really felt like a lovely community thing. they even put some diggers out for kids to climb in and pretend to drive (there were no keys in them)
and i was delighted to see some gloves near this roller
there they are look. i don't think they were workmen's ones. unless workmen wear blue woollen gloves.
great stuff.

i know what you are thinking, there's not been too many gloves on the blog of late. there are a few about, but it's mostly shoes and jandals on the streets. london has its gloves. auckland has it jandals

it was great to find an abandoned glove on the beach. we're a bit out of season at the moment so any glove finds are good.

we're leaving glove find season, which is a shame. but summer is still not quite here so there's still a few out there to be found.
guest glove
princess carmen sent me this glove from Missouri (near Kansas City). she also sent some lovelovelove which was very welcome !

glove photography how-to
i get a lot of emails asking how i manage to take such exquisite photos of gloves. so in the best spirit of photo sites such as strobist, here's a picture showing how i do it.
from the shadow you can see that i simply hold my camera and point it at the thing i'm trying to photo.
lots of gloves
yesterday was a good day for gloves
glaswegian glove

a new approach to lost gloves
on new year's day we went for a family walk and spotted a glove. nothing unusual there.
but then my mother in law picked it up and put it on. she'd forgotten one of her own gloves you see.
and so we continued on our walk (here's thomas, sil binky and kezia)
it was a there-and-back walk and when we got back to the point where found the glove, my mother in law looked for a place to put the glove so the owner would find it.
my father in law suggested the sign post and was the only one who could reach it.
here he is looking very unsuspicious
so if this is your glove, you know where to find it. and thanks for the loan.
strange object
i'm not sure if this is a glove or a very small umbrella cover. who knows.

we're back to proper chilly gloves weather in england, although i'm more imune to it in my heated car these days. still, when i do go out on maneouvres there's plenty of gloves to see.
glove on the wobbly bridge
my colleague robin spotted this as we walked between two meetings. i'm really pleased with the angle and lines of this wooly glove in summer.
holding the roof up
this isn't my usual found street glove, but it was worth a photo as it did stop us getting wet by holding up a giant orning. is that how you spell orning ?

esther spotted this in the undergrowth. can you see it ?

i haven't seen any proper gloves for a while so i was delighted to see this in the rain.

we're definitely moving in to summer gloves. rubber gloves are increasingly popular with people doing things with chemicals, like painting, staining and things with bunsen burners.
the sales potential of gloves
gloves, combs, nail brushes and pegs all used to lure us in to this shop.
why do they bother with such things ? if they'd just had a picture of a glove i'd have gone in.
not a lost glove
here is one of kezia's gardening gloves (every 3 year old should have some). it was on our living room floor being illuminated through the window.

long lost alvin
i bumped in to a friend on the tube last week i hadn't seen for about 3 years. he's called al, but i call him alvin.
and then i saw him again randomly in paddington station a few days later.
on one of the times i saw him i also saw this glove

we're getting towards the end of the glove season in the UK right now, so here's a few i've been holding back.
gloves and stuff
i saw hundreds and hundreds of gloves whilst i was doing the london marathon, but i decided early on there was no point trying to get photos as i couldn't keep up with them without stopping (and causing trouble for those behind me).
but if you ever want a new jumper, gloves, hat or even a bum bag, then it's worth following a marathon course. it's full of discarded cardies.
here is a typical glove

as part of my marathon training i've been really trying to take photos without stopping.
this is quite a challenge as it requires a quick reaction when i see an object worth photoing.
so, i was very pleased with this glove which came out sharp enough to make a nice desktop background.

glove on a dog sign !
i love it when categories collide. how about this. it's a glove on a dog sign.
we approached it by walking up a slippery icey field and just as it came in to sight the clouds parted and it was illuminated by the sun. as soon as i'd finished taking the photos it went back to being dark and dismal again !
how can people believe there is no god ?

i got an email yesterday from annie of www.lostglove.co.uk asking if she could link to my glove collection.
of course she can, and to thank her, you can go visit her collection too. whilst i go for the non-interventionist approach (ie capture them in their natural environment and leave them be), annie takes them home and cares for them (rather like i do when i find a passport photo).
As a result i don't think she's got many of the rather clinical medical ones i seem to spot round the back of hospitals !
www.lostglove.co.uk also links to other glove sites and this rather interesting article.
it's great weather for glove finding at the moment. here are a few i've found in the last few days:

binky's dog signs
jane and the girls went to nottingham earlier this week. as we learnt over christmas, nottingham is the centre for lost gloves and fancy dog signs (like this one).
it was therefore no surprise when they returned with these great dog signs:

the three glove railings
there were three gloves on my favourite glove-railings this morning.
compare to what i saw last time and you'll notice there's been a slight change. someone's taken the pair and replaced it with a faux-leather singular glove.
what we have here is an actual, modern, working glove exchange
gloves
gloves are particular tricky to take whilst walking at speed. my first attempt (on the left) was pittiful, but as the walk progressed my accuracy improved.
toxic gloves
i took this photo of lots of red gloves through some railings and a security chap came up to me and said "what are you doing" ?
"taking pictures of these gloves" i said
"well, be careful" he said. "they are toxic"
as i began to walk away he said "that's why we thrown them in there".
so now we know. just don't stand too close to your screen, ok.
gloves on railings
i walked down a small section of street this morning which had a number of gloves stuck on the railings, rather like last week's coke drinks.
and here's the one from last week which is still there. but it's now got a spider's web attached (or maybe it's spiderman's glove and the web has shot out from the glove) ?
the art of glove photography
there's different ways of taking photos of gloves. generally i go for the reportage approach and simply take them as they lie.
occasionally i like to indulge myself in a little creative photography to liven what can, occasionally, be a slightly mundane photographic subject.
so, here is a negative image of a glove on some railings:

dangerous glove photography
it's not always easy to get photos of gloves. these two were in the middle of quite a busy road junction outside Paddington Station.
i had to pre-focus my camera and dodge traffic to get the second of these photos !
unless you know what you are doing, i urge you not to follow my example.

my motto is "if it quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck" (unless it's a cunning cat trying to catch duck by impersonating them). so, yes. i think it's a bollard

glove in luscious green grass.
luscious is a word which used to be used a lot by teenage girls (when i was a teenage boy). as in "that's so lush".
maybe they still do.
i also saw this rubber glove and its suspicious looking bag (which was empty)
UPDATE: Having not seen the word Lush for nearly 20 years, i saw it an hour after posting this picture. see hear (look sea)

the glove plant folly
i thought i'd seen a nice purple glove in a plant pot this morning but it turned out to be these plants (with a spoon nestling in the background).
i was quite glad they were just plants as i was concerned that someone had stolen my new business plan, which is to create a line of knitted goods which have more than the usual set of parts.
i'm thinking of 6 (or more) fingered gloves. you'd still be able to wear them, you'd just have an extra finger hole available.
or what about a jumper with three arms ? Or trousers with three legs ?
is anyone willing to prototype any of the above for me ? i think we could be on to something with the 6 (or more) fingered gloves so perhaps we should start there.
i think this art-concept (for that is what it is my friends) needs a name. something along the lines of 'extra-digits' or 'more-of-the-same' but i'm sure you can help me here.
be great to get something in the shops before Christmas.

zach and a glove

luckily zach was keen to track the glove down and provided the ideal excuse to go and photo it. so here is the glove. and here is zach.

here are some gloves from america. Those travelling from the south of england should turn left on the way up to scotland and keep going. don't be sidetracked by the funny-speaking people on the way - you will meet lots of funny-speaking people when you get there.
when you do get there, go to a place called Phoenix Arizona, and ask for Jason of what's THAT about
he found these gloves whilst out cycling. you can see his tyre on the left
he writes "I've been putting together a collection of 'shoes' in the road images..it always amazes me that there will be one lonely abandoned shoe in the middle of the road and I wonder how it got there.. I wrote a haiku about it. it's on my site."

here are some gloves from brother kev (husband of my wife's sister). he was on a walk up a mountain/hill/incline and found them. so excited was he at his find that he phoned me from his windy external position

i find my best gloves near hospitals or medical places. Harley Street is a good place. Here is a quality glove I saw this morning. See how it retains its shape.
The piece of paper was blank. Which said it all (ie nothing).

tramp chic
just saw a bloke sitting on the floor wearing walking boots on his hands (as well as his feet). Maybe it's a new fashion thing. Personally I have no opinion on the whole 'boots as gloves' concept. I would have taken a photo. But it seemed a bit rude. Whitfield Street isn't a cat-walk you know.
