Soles of Silk Blog

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 that nerdy in this blog.  I know the girls aren't real, BUT what if they were? Wh

It feels like this year didn't start that long ago. Not sure if it is a sign of me getting older or what, but the time just seems to fly by. With a little over a month left here in 2011 I'm still working on some key items for the site that might be of some interest to you. Well, when I have some free time. Been a little wrapped up over the last few weeks between work and becoming a first time uncle. But back to the matter at hand, below is a breakdown of some of those items - some new, some updated: 2011 Year In Review Contest Every January I post a year in review contest for the site. In it I ask Soles of Silk based trivia questions about things that happened on the site for that particular year. In years past the turn out has been one of the best for any of the contests I

Ryan wore these shoes, without socks, all day long at school before shooting. Oh so nice! The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. October. What a month it has been as far as the site is concerned. Some of it good, some of it, not so much. As the saying goes, which do you want first? The good news, or the bad news? Oh wait, you can't answer. I guess the good news comes first. Good News Items Alienware Aurora ALX -  The computer I had been running was a custom built, bare bones system that I had built roughly six years ago. I got it to be close to top of the line then, so it wasn't until recently that I determined it was time to start looking for something else. Well, last week marked the first update with the  Alienware Aurora ALX system that I had built and man is this thing FAST! I won't go into all of its specs, but I'm loving this thing. Shoot: Ryan - I recently did a

Cierra is Soles of Silk's most photographed model. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. When I used to do some writing for a local newspaper I used to be in charge of the arts/entertainment section. I ran a regular column there also and sometimes it was just hard to come up with a theme, subject, or topic of interest that I thought people would enjoy reading. To be quite honest, sometimes I just talked about what everyone else was - like an awards show or celebrity mishap. Other times I ended up doing a repeat column similar to something I had done in the past. The same holds true here. A couple of days ago I remembered a column I wrote a few years ago where I listed some fun, totally meaningless facts about Soles of Silk and its models. And to be totally honest, that might have been the second time I had run such a column. Well, now it is time to do it yet again. This time I deci

It's been way too long since I saw these amazing wrinkles. The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. This week was a reminder of my early days in my foot photography career. As many of you know, the first ever girl to pose for foot themed photos on a regular basis was my ex-girlfriend,  Abby . On Monday I finally was able to get Abby back in front of the camera. It has been over two years since Abby has posed for the site. She's been quite busy and we just never seemed to match up. Well, we finally made a promise to get together and get some photos in and boy did we ever have some great results. The first set, which the photo above is from, ended up being over the 100 photo mark. Generally I don't do that many photos unless for a holiday or special occasion set. Sometimes, however, a set is just going so well that I want to keep going and take more and more shots. That happened
