‘On The Bright Side’: Digging in the dirt

Due to all the wet mud about at last weekend’s ‘On The Bright Side’, we figured it an innovative idea to photograph pretty punters, clean faces and all, and juxtapose these with snaps of their dirty, dirty shoes. Footnote: our aim is not to drag these captioned shoe brands’ reputations through the mud but rather to acknowledge their, er, durability in even the slushiest of weather conditions.
