Some of you might remember the teaser I ran a couple of months ago announcing that in the upcoming months the site would be adding video clips to compliment the photo content. But as I am sitting here with a book beside me learning the video editing software, I want to ask everyone their opinions. Below are a list of questions/ideas I have and I want our input on what to do with these videos. First of all, let me first share that I currently work on an Apple Macintosh and have already began learning a program that will allow me to make my video clips look nice with intros and copyright information. But this week I should also be getting a Windows PC that I had built with some amazing specs. I'll probably end up getting video software for that platform too. But in all honesty, I've stuck to Apples all my life being in the graphic design field, so t...

I wanted to take a few minutes of your time this week to step outside the usual columns for this site and talk about the events going on in the Gulf States with Hurricane Katrina. Its been over a week since Katrina devastated the south. New Orleans has been in turmoil ever since. Many people have died and even more have lost their homes. Families have been split apart and relocated in various states. It's just a mess. Seeing all the images on TV and in the newspapers I decided to place the banners to the American Red Cross on the site's home pages and below. I encourage everyone who can spare even a little bit to do so. I have been talking to people where I work about getting together some things as well. I think everyone has old clothes or items that could be useful to those down south. Check out the Red Cross' site and see what they recomme...

Living in Maryland, a state that can be scorching hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter, trying to catch a glimpse of some pretty feet out in public can sometimes be a seasonal thing. But in my years, I've found that several places offer better views of pretty girls going barefoot, or at least in some skimpy sandals. And I'm not talking about just seeing a girl in some mules walking down the street, I'm talking about good views where you can see some dangling or extended views of soles and such. Here are the top five hot spots I've found in sequential order: 5. Mall - Okay, this one was obvious. So many cute girls looking for the latest fashions will spend hours walking around the mall in flip flops, sandals, and even on a few rare occasions, I've seen them holding their shoes and going barefoot. Even rarer, you'll so...

I'll be the first person to admit that I have been way too busy to watch much TV lately. But one thing I have noticed when I do watch it is that more and more foot related items are out there than ever before. I've also been reading about things others have seen on forums and in chat. A few weeks ago Wu, from Wu's Feet Links , posted some video clips from an episode of WWE Raw where a male wrestlers has been given a foot fetish as part of his story line. A female wrestler by the name of Lita, proudly showed off her bare feet for this wrestler who was about to take them into his mouth. Of course, after watching wrestling religiously for more than a decade only to recently lose some interest, it figures they'd do something like this when I'm not catching every episode. WWE, however, has catered to us foot fetishists in a few other instan...

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. It's almost August! Man, where has the summer went? Things are going by so quickly and keeping up sometimes isn't easy. I always seem to pull through and get these updates posted right on time — and by the sounds of things, you're happy with what's been happening. With August on the horizon, here are some of the things going on with me and the site. Video Clips So many people have wanted me to shoot video clips and for months now I have been doing just that. Of course none of them are on the site, but that is because I have been building up a small collection of them to introduce to all of you in a brand new section here on the site. I also have some other sections planned as well, but the video clips section is without a doubt going to be the one you all want to see. Almost every single shoot I've done I've shot some small clips,...

With Lexi's debut I am sure many of you want to know what she's like in person and hear all about my six hours of shooting one of the web's most popular foot girls. Well, from one fan boy to many, here is what it was like working with the owner of two of the highest arches you'll find anywhere! Friday, July 8 - 3:30 p.m. With the car packed my brother and I leave to pick up our friend for the seven hour trip up north. We find all kinds of rest stops through New Jersey and New York to blow lots of money in. Friday, July 8 - 11:45  p.m. We roll up into our destination and try to find a place to stay for the night. Apparently the town we'd be shooting in doesn't believe in hotels. But at last, after asking some Boston Red Sox fans at a bar (hey, nobody's perfect!) where we can find a hotel, it is back up the highway into the tow...

Two weeks ago I posted Jacklyn Lick's first photo set here on Soles of Silk. Meeting Jacklyn was a great experience with her being one of the first foot models I can remember from my early days online. And last year I had the pleasure of meeting with Lisa Tyler from Forever Feet and taking her pictures for Soles of Silk's debut. Her photo shoots were a blast with her fun-loving personality. And then I've also had the pleasure of meeting with Molly , an up and coming starlet in her own right and we can't forget the great shots of Sara Swirls and Kat Noir . All these girls are established elsewhere on the Web and getting the chance to take photos of them for this site was my pleasure. But now a new sole mate looms on the horizon, one we all know too! This week I will be taking a road trip to bring back shots of this beauty, who will, for...

I was lucky enough to photograph the beautiful, Jacklyn Lick for 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. Well, I've managed to do it again. Last weekend I met another one of the Web's most popular foot models in Jacklyn Lick . I can remember my first adventures with foot fetish sites on the Internet and finding Jacklyn's sites Jacklyn Lick and Foot-Goddess. Now, all these years later I finally got the chance to photograph one of the first girls whose feet I can remember admiring online. And they're even better in person! Several weeks ago I had been looking at Jacklyn's travel schedule and saw that she'd be coming through this area. I e-mailed her, asking if she'd be interested in posing for me. Luckily, she was more than willing and we set a date — that date being last Sunday. Getting up Sunday I made sure all my equipment was ready to go. I did...

Have you ever noticed how many photographers for foot fetish sites use places like a park or marina as the backdrop for their photos? As of this update, the contributors featured here on Soles of Silk have nine sets (both of Steph's sets counted as one) that were done outdoors. And the Soles of Silk sole mates have so far combined for 17 published outdoor sets. I say published because there are a number of shoots that are awaiting your eyes for the future. So this begs the question, "Have you ever seen someone outdoors taking foot photos?" One of several sets I shot of Layla in Baltimore's Fells Point. In my day I have done dozens of outdoor photo shoots and quite a few of them were not in what you would call a secluded spot. Just last weekend I was in Baltimore's Fells Point taking photos of next week's newest sole mate...

My birthday is on June 2 and I'm getting to celebrate all month long with new models. Check out what's coming up here in the next few weeks. June 8 - Part 1 : This update will bring two new sole mates to the site. The first is Chloe , who is another personal friend of mine. Chloe has a cute pair of size 8.5's and has enjoyed having them massaged by me a number of times. You're going to love her soles and playful toes. June 8 - Part 2 : Also coming on this update is Chloe's good friend, Meagan . Meagan's little size 6.5 feet are going to impress for sure. Chloe told Meagan about this site and as soon as she saw it, she wanted to pose for us. According to Meagan, she loves the camera. June 15 : Soles of Silk gets a new sole mate named Cheri with a pair of tiny size 4.5 feet...
