It's back for another visit to National Park. I'll be updating this thread with new photos every-other week.
It's been so much fun making my rounds at the park, looking for women who find the idea of letting me take pictures of their feet intriguing, entertaining. With 7,500 women visiting the park still visiting the park on an average day, each woman comes with a flavor that is just as different as anybody's fingerprint is.

A NATIONAL PARK CLASSIC
First up this week, is one of my earliest finds. I look at these photos and then become amazed with myself with how much I have improved over the course of time. If I knew then what I now know about taking incredible photos, this gallerie would've turned out to be a million times better. There are several things I now do with my photoshoots that I didn't do back at the time I ran in to this girl because I didn't know any better.
But I enjoyed taking pictures of this girl's feet because this was probably my first shoot I considered a classic.
If I had given out an award for Wackiest Personalities, this lady would be the front runner. She certainly didn't mind that I had a foot fetish. After the shoot was over, she began asking different questions just to dig into the mind of someone with likes women's feet. Some questions, however, were the kinds I didn't think anyone would ask, and were the type of questions no one has asked since. Questions like ...
- Do you take pictures of children's feet, as young as five or three? - Have I ever taken pictures of a horse's hoof or a cat's paw? (She was being serious when she asked that) - Do I have sex with men? - If a robot lied in bed next to me, would I ... ?
Other than the second question, I couldn't tell if she was serious, joking around or both. I wasn't offended with any of the questions, though. I just played along with her to give her more hilarious material to keep the dialog going.
If I had answered yes to any of those questions, she wouldn't care one bit, even to the question pertaining to kids.
Yes, she's weird, but I prefer women who are wacked out, Looney Tunes character who come to life.

With her, I especially love the middle picture of the last row. Love her facial expression in that one. The way she looks up gives us the naturalness of whatever is going on around her.
Thanks a lot for commenting on German Plains. Your last sentence touches on the purpose of what my photos are about. By having her pose her feet for me and pretend I'm not there at the same time puts the viewer at ease because she's in a natural environment, in a sense. It makes the viewer look at the images longer.

Her bike was what first drew my attention to her. You don't see too many people with their bikes in the National Park. Using the hot knife to cut it through butter was harder than convincing her that it was a good idea to take her boots off. I mean, pretty soon all I have to do is just motion to the girl that she should take her shoes off, no words necessary.
It was a quite Sunday afternoon. The scene around her looked peaceful and across from her felt as if I was at a picnic with her. There were also not a lot of people around at the time the shoot took place, making it for a more comfortable feel as if we were very far from the city, by ourselves on the countryside.
I don't know how many people in here are familiar with the work of Spencer Tunick. I was always familiar with the work he's done, but was never able to place the right name alongside with the work until she brought his name into the conversation. She always felt that getting a bunch of naked people together to pose for him was a cool idea to express an interpretation of how peaceful human bodies can be, his pictures thought provoking.
She told me that even though that photographer and myself have a different idea of what's beauty to the beholder, the end results come across as non-pornographic and very natural, very real, very different.
I showed her the pictures afterwards, she loved them a lot and was honored that she was chosen as someone who had feet that can be admired through the eyes of the beholder. She never thought of her feet as being quite that, but now she has adopted a different outlook.
quote:Originally posted by HighArchesPT: Her long and slender toes add something beautiful to these pics. She looks tall from the viewers point of view.
When I come across feet like that, I always take a deep breath to myself because those are my favorite type of feet and I know I'm in for a special shoot. She stood about 5'10''.
quote:Originally posted by bluetoelover: God...I have nothing to say! Fucking LOVE her feet man! Those toes would be put to use pretty quick
I almost fainted when she took her shoes off because I had nothing to say either.
My biggest regret about that shoot was that I didn't take pictures of her toes. I'm not a toe guy. Now I take pictures of toes in a way that's unique and innovative. There will come a day very soon when I'll show those pictures which will change the landscape around here. Mark those words.
Had I known how to take those pictures back at the time I met her, that gallerie would've been a 25 on a scale of 1-10.
But I'll take those pictures for the greatness that it already is.

I agree. Whoever has the privilege of getting at her toes is one lucky son of a bitch. But from the description National gave us about her, perhaps she hasn't found someone who has done things to her feet that we would've done. Why else would she ask all those questions?
Man, National is so lucky and I am so jealous.

Other than the fact that she's some wacko maniac (and I say that with so much love), that's a good question.
The answer is she's never met anyone with a foot fetish ... as far as she knew. However, she thinks the whole foot fetish thing is cool.
If I saw her and a two year-old toddler holding a pair of scissors, I'll take that thing out of the hands of the Serial Maniac. Yes, I might be playing that up just to sell the gimmick, but considering her crazy and twisted maniacal sense of humor, I don't think I'm far off course here.
I'll have more pictures for everyone in 24 hours or so.

Oh man, Serial Maniac Mania!! My pick for your best post EVER! Including those other posts from last year from 40 and Over!!
Folks, this guy is for real. He and I live in the same city and are friendly, and I went up to the park myself to see Mr. National in action. This guy is the smooth real deal!! The night I met him there, I hung out closeby and acted as if we didn't know each other once he started his method, and let me tell you. I think he asked 15 girls that night, and 1 said no!! 1!!!

A little more than a month ago, I said

Now here you are after witnessing what I had imagined to be a great experience. I wished for it, you actually witnessed National in action first hand. Man I wish I was there just like you were.
Did you get a good look at the soles of their feet while he was taking those pictures? I would think that something like this would be almost impossible to get women to do. But to see that National had a successful night in front of you makes it all worth while.
Were any of the girls he spotted in front of you already posted in here?

Thanks a lot, pal!
I don't think I asked that many women that night only because we spent a couple of hours at the park that night. BUUUUUUUTT, I was on a such a roll that night that it felt as if I asked that many.
I must credit DancingFool for an assist that night because he pointed some girl who he wanted me to approach. I saw her and her feet and I had to get pictures of those. I'll post those pictures in about two weeks from now.

I didn't know how big her feet were until she took her shoes off and placed them on the chair. Serial Maniac is one of my favorite shoots of all time. I know there are a few others I have yet to post who will give Serial Manic some company as my best post ever. You and I love the same kind of feet and I must tell you that she is not the only one who you'll really enjoy.
Speaking of women who you'll enjoy, there is someone who I'll post in the future. Even though she's not a size 9 or above, she will be a Hall of Famer. Be on the lookout for the ЯUSSIAN SPY.

Not yet. I'll post one of them in a couple of weeks. The girl who I was referring to earlier that I credited him for the assist.

I'll post one or two more galleries before I'm through for this week.

That was such an amazing story behind the girl who you labeled as the Sunday Arts. She is very pretty and has an amazing shape to her feet. One of my favorite shots is when you have these girls flex their toes back. Those are such amazing pictures and you capture them in such a way that is perfect and in the angle that is ideal for all of us.
And what she said about you when she made that comparison to you and that other photographer is so right on the money. I never heard of the guy who she referred to, so I had to look him up. That was such a cool and neat encounter you had with her and her observation about you was so accurate that I couldn't have said it better myself. She is definitely one of my favorites you posted.
Your style and tastes are unique and unrivaled.
Thank you.
P.S. I'll get to the serial maniac at a later time because I, too, just love feet that look like hers. She's a pretty interesting character too.
But thanks again for this amazing collection you have here.

This one was sitting at her chair for about 90 minutes before I finally approached her. I kept making my rounds around the park looking for other women to pose for me. I kept her in the back of my mind as someone to ultimately go up to. There was one when I was at a completely different part of the park to shoot pictures of another girl's feet, during which time I had completely forgotten about the one who's about to be featured.
I walked to her side of the park and was surprised that she was still sitting on that chair for as long as she had. It was destined to be, I suppose.
Apparently she in no rush to go anywhere. I had to approach her because I loved the way she just sat there with her legs crossed.
She speaks French and knows very little English. I had to explain myself to her twice before she finally got the idea of what I wanted out of her.
I'll have to say that I wasn't too satisfied with how these pictures came out and it was during the time where I didn't know how to handle the camera properly to make these pictures as well as they should've. Shame on me. But I'll let these slide, nonetheless.
Also, it was in the middle of a weekday and I had to get back to work. In fact, I was 15-20 minutes late to where I had to be. So during the shoot, I found myself in a bit of a conflict with myself. I found myself rushing through this shoot just a little bit while at other times I didn't care about where I had to be at that moment, which made me calm the pace a bit to feel comfortable with the shoot. Looking at her feet made me want to stay there longer.
I thanked her for allowing me the time to take pictures of her feet and off I went to work, all late 'n stuff and behind schedule. Sort of reminds me of how the French and Italians spend most of their afternoons just relaxed and chilled because their work schedules are not as hectic or demanding.
The National Park is a place for leisure. For French Blue, she felt right at home away from home.
That'll be all for this week. I'll be back in about ten days with new sets of pictures. Only this time, I'll start showing galleries that include toe shots.
I have to get up early this morning for what could be my final day at the park this year. After today, temperatures are going to take quite a dip as autumn begins to settle in.

Yes, I did manage to maneuver myself so I was sitting right where I could see her soles. And like National said, I did assist him in the first girl he asked that night because I had gotten to the park a little before he did and plopped myself down right across a girl I wanted him to ask. I kept playing with my phone to make myself busy (and in fact I was on the phone at one point, with my length in doing so to the chagrin of National:) ...I don't remember seeing any who already had their feet posed...well there was that one National who was ashamed at how big her feet were. Hers were perfect and were plopped up but she was the one I believe who refused. But all of the others had their shoes on, so you have to just hope for the best once she is asked.
There was even a brief moment when I considered getting in on the action and asking a few myself, but it's still a bit strange for me. Plus I have to admit I would get too excited at a few and would end up asking if I could worship their feet . It was a fun experience watching The Man in action, and also a bewildering one, as I could not believe girls who are comfortable with this sort of request exist!!
NYC is great. There is a dungeon I occasionally frequent (you like that? 'Occasionally frequent'??) closeby where the park is and I thought about dropping in for a session cause I was getting hungry for some action, but I decided against it. It happened to be 9/11 and I felt guilty enough being in the park and enjoying myself on a such a somber day with so many others overseas suffering and sacrificing to prevent such a day from happening again.
I may try this myself next season, but I'm not sure. For now, y'all have a lot to look forward to judging by what I saw on this night. National, isn't it ironic that just as Chipper retires, your career is just beginning? I can only hope yours next season doesn't begin as Chipper's ended!! What a disgrace!! Just kidding--he capped off a great career with what just happened to be a sloppy ass game.
