When Covid set in, I started to walk through my East Side hood more than usual. I have always sauntered through it deep in thought. During one walk, I noticed that somebody had scrawled SWAG in wet cement on a sidewalk along the north side of Michigan Avenue. My series of SWAG walk pics was born. Every time I passed by, I would snap a pic. Sometimes I would snap a burst of photos as I approached and passed over SWAG. Other times I would stop and position my feet in what I hoped would create an interesting composition. A couple of years have passed. I have captured at least a hundred SWAG pics. I post them in my stories.
This spring, @beckysresearch posted a SWAG pic challenge. I had posted the pic below. The pic with the neon pink leg warmers hit my IG messages. I posted a week or so later with the black Vans. @beckysresearch replied in black flats.
@beckysresearch and I met through a local coffee house several years ago. Covid has been hard on everyone, but people are exercising again. We invite you to take your own SWAG walks and upload your own swaggy pics. Just be sure to tag us so I can continue to catalog the photos with a hashtag! I am fond of series. If you search #thelivesofchairs and #tabletablettableau you will find my other series.
