Soles of Silk Blog

Jamie posed for this set in our mutual friend's bobble head room - yes, an entire room. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Good: I got in two more photo shoots with Jamie - including a comic book fan girl set follow up to Mindee's Piggies & Power Girl set that was featured at Wu's Feet Links and a bobble head themed set done in a mutual friend's bobble head room with more than 850 bobble heads. Bad: Jamie left for school at the end of last week and is now over three hours away. Good thing I got about six sets of her to tie me over until I see her next. Good: I should be having two brand new models posing within the next two weeks. One is the younger sister of a friend of mine who pasted away during our senior year of high school in 1997. The other is a girl who attended the same high school as me - someone who I always thought was gorgeous, and who is also a ...

Jaylee Austin (left) & Layla are only one set of relatives who have modeled for the site. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. I just got myself an HTC Evo 4g phone last week and downloaded a few apps for it. A couple of them were of the trivia and useless fact variety. I thought some of the facts were neat, so I thought I'd come up with 25 facts about the Soles of Silk models to share with all of you. 1. Although Madison is currently in the lead with having the most photos on the site at 1,832, the site's second place model, Cierra , is 117 photos behind (1,715), but has three sets waiting to be posted. Madison has been MIA since meeting her new boyfriend and has no photos waiting to be posted. So it looks like Cierra will easily slide into first soon. 2. These girls are related to one another in the following manner: Bethany & Natalie (cousins), Jaylee Ausin & L...

Jamie is Soles of Silk's newest model - who just turned 18. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Two weeks ago I debuted a coworker/friend who just turned 18 named Katie . Now here I am doing it again. Just yesterday I took a trip to Wildwood, New Jersey for a day of photos with a another coworker/friend of mine named Jamie . On Sunday she turned 18 and on Monday she was before me posing for what turned out to be five sets worth of pictures. Having girls pose right after they turned 18 isn't exactly new around here. Kelsey , Marcy , and Katie all posed within days of theirs and Kayleigh actually posed the day she turned the big one - eight. Just like the girls listed above, Jamie works with me and knows a bunch of the girls at work who have posed. She's been wanting to pose for a bit and has even been telling me things she wanted to do. A few months ago she asked me if she c...

Kim T. is back! She's another model who used to pose for me prior to Soles of Silk. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Kim T.'s Return The year was 1998. I had just submitted photos of my then girlfriend, Abby , to Leg Show magazine. It was right around that time that we saw some photos from another Maryland couple printed as well. We began mailing each other back and forth through our post office boxes and after months, decided to meet. Come to find out, this couple lived less than 10 minutes from us and over the next year, we did a handful of photo sets together and became friends. A year later I was single, but I still remained friends with Kim T. and her husband. Fast forward 10 years and I haven't seen Kim or her husband for years. Out of nowhere a few months ago Kim sends me a text message asking me if I have any carpet cleaner. Shocked, I ask her if she knew who sh...

This set sees Kimmie join the 1K Club. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Only seven days after Mindee broke the 1,000 photo mark here on Soles of Silk, another model is joining the ranks. With this week's update Kimmie becomes the seventh model to surpass this mark. The company she joins is: Cierra (1,654), Kellie (1,332),  Layla (1,478), Madison (1,832), Mindee (1,002), and Wendy  (1,054). Years ago when I had Kimmie and Kellie pose for their first sets on Soles of Silk, I knew I had something special and two instant favorites. While it's evident by her higher total, I've been able to catch up with Kellie more than Kimmie over the years to do photos, but Kimmie isn't too far behind. She's just been hard to catch up with at times, but when we finally do shoot, it's always good times. During our most recent shoot, Kimmie and I took a trip downtown and ma...

With this set, Mindee goes over the 1,000 photo mark on the site. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It feels just like the other day I was bringing you all kinds of  Mindee related items. Two months ago she became the sixth model and was in the fifth photo set from Soles of Silk to be posted on  Wu's Feet Links in his feature gallery section. Very happy with the way things turned out, I also made some comic book based wallpapers featuring photos from that set as well that you can find in the downloads section. And here I am two months later talking her up again in another column. This week Mindee's Playground set put her over the 1,000 photo mark. Two photos over, to be exact at 1,002. This puts her up there with only a handful of models including: Cierra (1,654),  Kellie (1,332), Layla (1,478), Madison (1,832), and Wendy (1,054). And next week, another model will mak...

Mindee's feature set combines the fetish with comics in a blend so many nerds will love. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Most of you know the term "March Madness" as the annual NCAA basketball tournament. Well, in 2010 the month of March has had just as much excitement for me, but has nothing to do with basketball. With only hours remaining in the month, I want to do a recap of some of the month's many highlights (in no particular order). Mindee's  Wu's Feet Links Feature First off I want to mention the biggest news. Once again a Soles of Silk model is representing the site in Wu's Feet Links Feature Model section. Several months ago Wu asked me if I'd like to do another set, this time with Mindee . He let me pick the theme for the set and I ended up using an idea I've been sitting on for some time - a series for the site. Being a huge com...

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Several months ago Wu from Wu's Feet Links approached me about doing yet another feature set for his well known Feature Model section. I have done four of these sets in the past and I consider it an honor to be asked each and every time. The first of these feature sets was Carmen's Blue Jeans & Toes set. The second set was Wu's first duel model feature and showcased the twins,  Kimmie and Kellie in the Football Fun set. The following year  Madison laid across my bed and counted her pennies in her Piggy Bank & Piggies set. And the most recent feature set was Cierra's  very popular Size & Foot Tease set. Fast forward a year and I just shot the newest feature set for Wu's section with none other than  Mindee . I was very happy when Wu told me that he wanted this year's set to feature Mindee. For someone who to...

Kelsey sent me this photo of her feet for Valentine's Day. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Well, it's one week after Valentine's Day. I didn't spend the day with anyone, but having the treat of shooting Cierra's Valentine's set beforehand, sure was amazing. Since that time, some more love has been sent my way in the form of photos from three of my models via their cellphones. The photo above is none other than Kelsey - if you couldn't tell by those plump little toes. You don't know how much I adore those 10 little things. Over the years I've had my hands on Kelsey's feet for countless hours. I might have spent more time rubbing her feet than I have some of my long term girlfriends in the past. I've had that privilege, and yes it is a privilege, since I met her. More times than not, each one of those massages would last for hours and go in...

Kimmie loved getting her feet all muddy after a thunderstorm passed by. The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Sitting pretty with 944 at the time of this column, Kimmie has been without a doubt, one of the site's mainstays and someone I've been glad to have as a friend since before this site was even online. As with the tradition of the other Footography columns, I'm going to take some time and look at my friendship with Kimmie and talk about some fun foot related items that I've experienced with her. Years ago when I was doing my free site, The 10 Little Piggies, I had asked both Kimmie and her twin sister, Kellie , to pose for me. Both girls, along with Carmen , went on a little day trip with me to do a bunch of 35mm photos that I had planned on placing on The 10 Little Piggies. I ended up closing that site right around the same time that I did those sets as it was too ...
