Bowling is forever, or at least the rental shoes seem to be. They're probably the most identifiable form of footwear ever created and their design hasn't changed much over the years.
Fairview Heights, Illinois, photojournalist Bob Fehringer is currently on a quest in honor of those tacky toe holders.
On his travels around the Metro-east, Fehringer places one particular pair of size eights in locations and situations he believes they'd choose to be in, if they were capable of cognitive thought. A few of the resulting photographs are starting to make the rounds of area bowling alleys and art galleries alike.
They have become so popular that they graced the walls of the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in St. Louis in the form of an exhibit, for six months in early 2004.
So, sit back, relax and think about your first true love, the rental bowling shoe, and please follow the links to view the entire series, which changes on a regular basis. |
