If the photo above is any indicator, you can already tell I had a great day this past Sunday when Carlin and I met up for an all day shoot. Man, what a great day with great results! Scratch that. What an amazing day with amazing results! For a few months now Carlin and I had been chatting, trying to find a date where we could make plans for this all day shoot. We both had some ideas for sets, but it was just finding the time with both of us being rather busy. Our initial plan was to shoot before Valentine's Day and have Carlin be in a set for the site's Valentine's update. Due to some issues on my side, I was not able to schedule in time and there was no real Valentine's set for 2012. Needless to say, we had since figured out a date to meet, so I booked a hotel downtown and we made use of it - even making quite a few messes in the proc...

I have plans to shoot with Carlin soon. I can't wait! The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Today it got into the low 70's here in the Baltimore area. Yes, on March 13th, it reached the low 70's. With the temperature so high for this time of year, the girls didn't hesitate to break out the flip flops and sandals. At work today I saw a mix of college girls, business women, and a cougar or two strutting around today in strappy shoes and sure didn't mind most of the views. A few pedicures, or lack thereof, didn't really do it for me. But then there were the ones that did. One lady, probably upper 30's, came in wearing a pair of cheap flip flops and had her toes painted a bright teal color. Talk about a distraction. Then there was the younger crowd. It seemed like most of the girls in the college age bracket had some shade of pink going and were also wearing fli...

Olivia is one of a few models to submit questions to me for an interview. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. For the last few weeks I've been pondering some ideas for the  Interviews section of this site. I've come up with a few and wouldn't mind hearing what you all think about them. The first of which is already in the works and might even be posted as soon as next week. Here are the ideas: Models Interview Me I told several of the girls of an idea to have them ask me foot fetish or site related questions. Basically it would be like what I have already done with them. Enough of the girls showed interest in the idea, so I'm going forward with it. I have left the questions up to the models - telling them they can be as general or as particular as they want. So far I've gotten question submissions from: Kayleigh , Abby , Olivia , Ryan , and  Mindee . I've tal...

The end of 2011 saw the return of Kellie 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. It looks like 2012 will mark the return of some models who you have not seen on the site in some time. The end of 2011 had the long overdue return of Kellie with her Boots Set. She's already got another set in the books and will be soon shooting another. But Kellie is only the tip of the iceberg as a few other girls have talked to me about shooting soon. Here is a small list of those I've talked with and those I am going to see if I can get back: I was so happy to get Wendy and her feet back in front of my camera. Wendy As you can see above, Wendy has already shot and I'm putting her up right away. We did three sets over the weekend - her first in over two years. She didn't miss a beat as her size 8's soles looked great as she stuck them out to my camera. Autumn ...

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Well, the results are in. Only 11 people, yes, 11 people entered this year's Trivia Contest. With the amount of members the site has and the advantage you all have, I don't understand how come more people didn't enter. Members had the chance to add free membership time to their current subscriptions, or if you were set to auto renew, you wouldn't have been charged for for the length of the prize (1 or 3 months). Oh well... For the 11 who entered there was a single perfect score (100) followed closely by someone who scored a 98. These two won the 3-month prizes and then five others walked away with 1-month prizes with scores ranging from 84 to 55.5. I did award some partial credits on this year's answers because quite a few people, for some reason, only answered half the questions at times, or only got a part of an answer right in...

A shot from one of today's sets with Kayleigh. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It's hard to believe that it is 2012 already. This update is the first update of the year. I want to take a few minutes to go over some items of interest. So, here we go: Shooting w/ Kayleigh Today also marks the first shoot of the year - with Kayleigh . I just came from her house from doing two sets. The photo at the start of this column was done after our second shoot of the day. Her dog kept wanting to get onto the bed during the set, so at the end, I told Kayleigh to get her up there and do a fun shot for this column. Also from this first shoot with Kayleigh is my new head shot for these columns - the photo above. I've been trying to change the head shot each year. With having Kayleigh's little feet before me, I mentioned the idea of having her feet in the shot and she agreed. We...

Cierra is the first ever member of the 2K Club on 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. With this week's update something very special happened. Cierra , who has been posing for me from the time I began work on this site in 2004, reached the 2,000 photo mark with her Brick Buildings set. It was early in January of 2011 that she passed  Madison as the site's most photographed model. And here we are, the last week of 2011 and Cierra has set this milestone too. When I interviewed Cierra in her introductory interview in 2005, she had this to say, "I know my feet are cute and I've never done this before, but I figured it's worth a try."  Well, that try sure turned into MANY productive photo shoots and video clips. Without getting into a list of all 32 galleries she has on the site thus far, I'd like to take a look at some of my favorite Cierr...

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. By now you are probably aware that I am a huge comic book fan. When  Mindee  did her  Power Girl & Piggies  feature set on  Wu's Feet Links  and then  Jamie  did one with Batgirl ( Sample 01  /  Sample 02 ), I knew I had the start of an ongoing series on my hands. Eventually  Carlin  would go on to do a Catwoman themed shoot ( Sample 01  /  Sample 02 ), but that has been all that I have published to this point, although there have been, and currently are plans to do more.  Lela Beryl  even did a set with comic book cards that will be going online soon. Doing sets done with the sole mates with a comic book theme is one thing, but what if the heroines themselves were real? And what if I could have them in front of my camera for Soles of Silk? Yes, I'm going tha...
