My Travels, My Feet

You are so damn creative!

Just want to say that you are blessed to be able to travel like you do and see all of these things.  By the way my favorite pic is the starfish and feet.

Thanks Susan. You’re right. My life is full of good fortune.

great idea! great shots! love it!

You’re brilliant! I have always loved taking pics of the ground / paving of places I have travelled, but YOUR idea tops them all! Well Done!

I wish I could say the idea is totally original and unprecedented. I thought of it on my own but I have at least one friend who has been doing the same thing. I bet there are a lot of foot photographers out there…

I love taking pictures of my feet in my travels and everyday life!!!!

The picture of your feet with the cat running around them is beautiful!!!

Hi Sophie! I love your pics! I´m a foot photograper too, from Argentina. I started snapping photos of my feet during my solo vacation in Florida a couple of years ago. I also love to take pictures of sunsets and sunrises everywhere I travel. I would like to share some pictures with you, specially ones from Argentinian Patagonia. How can I do that?
Greetings!

I also take pictures of feet. Took some in London last year and gave my pidotrist a video of all the feet there.

Maria, perhaps you could post them on Flikr?

I knew there had to be a lot of feet photographers out there!

Thanks! Here they are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29367742@N04/?saved=1

Cool, Maria. I like the Florida one in particular.

If I tried to do something like that, you’d see toes with worn nail polish, dusty and worn hiking boots and Crocs. Then again, if I decided to do something like that, perhaps I’d keep up my pedicures, brush off my hiking boots and wear something more creative than Crocs.

I live in Texas. I am required to maintain a pedicure as a precondition for citizenship.

Great photos. I love to travel and I’ve been to many places. I think people whose job is to travel (like the travelchanel journalists) are truly blessed.

I like to tell people who envy my job as a freelance travel writer that anyone can—all you have to do is give up disposable income. It’s a great life, a lousy living (for many of us). But I’m happy.

Sophie, I love it! Yup, I take pics of my feet also, and videos too. Also, back when we were at Art & Design and were supposed to sketch every day, I was shy about staring at people’s faces, so on the bus I would sketch their feet.

I love it back, Elena-Beth! Sounds like you need a gallery show of feet drawings. We used to have a guy here in Dallas who did butt portraits. (Fully clothed butts.)

I love the way you took those photos. Great perspective though.

Feet, feet and more feet.  SOme great shots.  You need to get a few beach ones.

This is a really interesting, I’m really grateful for this great read, thank you for sharing this out.

Really like the photos.  You should do this at every tourist attaction you go to.

Cool Idea! your photo of the feet and the scenery looks very good. I think we can get the feeling that we still at that place looking at our feet and the scenery

I take pics of my feet also, and videos too.
but YOUR idea tops them all! Well Done!

Ah, this is cool, I have been thinking about doing something similar. its nice, and its fun!

Maybee photos of me celebrating halloween around the world!?

I want to say about presentation. I never seen this type of presentation before. Really, I say this is great because before it I have read but here I am watching.

Thanks

I personally prefer to take pictures of my hands. I have bad nails on my feet :(

I need two hands to hold my camera…not that it’s that big but I’m that uncoordinated.

great photose. thanks

Great way to look at the world of travel.  I enjoyed your shots.

What a very interesting way to capture travel. I think maybe images of your feet with the horizon in the background. It’s looks like you have a few like that already though. Great shots!

Stumbled accross your slideshow while researching for an unrelated travel feature - absolutely love this idea and your images. Congratulations!

Thanks, Mike! I hope you’ll come hang out with us here at World Hum!

Very cool presantation i think it can be a cooler it its longer. Much love

I could use a presentation like this on my specialty travel site http://hostandcare.com which allows you to post presentations like yours.
Thanks.

Traveling alone and getting pictures is always tough.  Do you ask someone to take it of you? Do you just take shots of the natural beauty? OR do you do something so utterly creative like taking pix of feet. Who would have thought? 
I certainly like the barefeet and then the waterfall shot. Come visit me and my written travels:

This is absolutely wonderful. You got me thinking about times I’ve taken feet pictures while traveling, and made me realize that I also perfectly remember each time. I took one while sitting in a square in Rome during my first big solo trip. Another I took last year while riding a sleeper bus in Western China. I put the second one up on my blog (http://www.jurassicparks.blogspot.com)—and hey you can see pictures from Mongolia, where I’m living, too!

Also, I just read your Texas piece. The comments are closed, but I wanted to say that, coming from Lubbock, I totalllly dig what you’re saying. Also, it’s worth noting that George Bush is sort of a fake Texan (although, admittedly, he is representative of a certain kind of person there). On the other side of the coin, I’ve had older Texas natives tell me they found LBJ’s played up accent and constant country bumpkin aphorisms a little much.

There is one thing to be said about being a traveler from Texas, though—it’s one of just a few states where people anywhere in the world will have at least an idea of where you’re from. Their idea might be all cowboys and Bush, but at least we’re famous.

Great way to look at the world of travel..
Some places can really surprise you, you can find the most friendly people in the countries you heard nothing but bad things about. So brake that chain of prejudice, and go see the places from the bottom of your list, you will be amazed by all you’ve been missing. There is a book that talks allot about these kind of things, it is a travel journal of an Iranian American entrepreneur traveling in Balkans, called The Age of Nepotism. I warmly recommend it, and also the site http://www.theageofnepotism.com

This is great! I have been doing the same thing on my 2 1/2 year trip around the world.

Check out my feet here:

There’s something really fun about this view that can tell a lot. Nice job!
