The Start of a New Year

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

2K Club - Cierra's Milestone of Reaching 2,000

Image
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

Comic Nerd Foot Fantasy Shoots

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

November Notes - 2011

The blog below was originally published in  Soles of Silk's  Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016. Wow, it's November already - only a few days away from Thanksgiving. 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

An Up & Down October

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
