shoes for wife... each photo equipment (small accessories included) entering home = 1 more shoe box, or perfum, or clothes, entering at the same time.... for my happy and wonderfull wife...

this way I don't need to answer many questions like : what's it ? more photo stuff ? and so on....

this is what I call "how to blur a mind without using PS"
