Soles of Silk Blog

Deadline:   Sunday, January 25, 2015 It was a good year in 2014 on Soles of Silk and in customary fashion, I wanted to give people the chance to win some free membership time with the annual trivia contest. And this time there is a little 10th anniversary bonus (see below). I wish everyone the best of luck and hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday. May yours be filled with soft soles and wiggling toes! Contest Rules - Copy and paste the questions below into an e-mail with your answers and send them to me at  footphotographer@yahoo.com .

Back on December 29, 2004 Soles of Silk debuted online with only eight models. Now here it is 10 years later to the day and 85 total models have showed off their feet in front of my camera - the site has grown by leaps and bounds during that time. And to thank for that success, I have all of the models who showed off their soft soles and tried their hardest to spread their toes as wide as they could go! The best part of doing Soles of Silk these last 10 years has been getting those of you I call friend to pose. While many sites out there rely on professional models, I've always loved including my friends in this hobby... this passion of mine. I have been doing it long before Soles of Silk was even an idea - back when Abby was showing off those trademark wrinkled Puerto Rican soles of hers every chance she got. Since then friends like Mindee , who swore to me over and over that her feet were ugly back in 2004, have done so much for me since the site launched. Even recen...

Since Soles of Silk was launched on December 29, 2004 I have been going out of my way to do 10 year anniversary themed items on the site and here on the blog. As many of you have seen, these last few weeks I've been adding quite a few new retrospective blogs looking at my 10 favorite sets of each year, my favorite Wu's Feet Links features, etc. Along with those blogs I originally intended to do a blog looking at the 10 most photographed models on the site from 2004-14.  When I sat down to take a look at the order of the list I noticed there were a total of 13 models who had joined the 1K Club (1,000 photo mark) during the 10 year span. That's when I decided that this list would include all 13 instead. These 13 models below have been the biggest contributors to the site's success these first 10 years online and I hope they continue to do so for the next 10. Each one of these girls are amazing and I owe so much to each one of them. I thank them for all their hard w...

At the end of 2013 I decided to make a blog entry titled,  My 10 Favorite Photo Shoots of 2013 . It was the first time I ever took a look back to pick my favorite sets from a calendar year. I planned on doing it again here for 2014, but then I began to think about doing it for years past to further go along with this year being the site's 10th year online. I thought it might make for a fun little stroll down memory lane with some of the site's best sets with models who may or may not be posing anymore. I'm sticking with the criteria I used for the 2013 favorites as a guide for this series. Only sets that were published during that year will be featured, regardless of when they were shot. I'm also leaving out  Wu's Feet Links  Feature Model galleries. Only the sets published to  Soles of Silk  will be eligible. With that said, let's take a look at my favorite shoots of 2014: 10.
