Sounds a lot like a little of both, if you ask me. It was all real and natural, genuine, authentic. I also got the sense that Rosie was going to get lost on her own had she let go of my hands, being that I was her only source of guidance to anything and everything that is New York, and also because what's not to like about holding hands with someone you just met that you find attractive, someone someone who seems like a great person where there's connection to be had on a certain level? Take the first steps to see if it leads to a moment in time that's more fun and exciting.

Not sure which pose you're talking about, but thanks.

I know. It's a futuristic old-schooler look of a woman who bares the resemblance of someone who held the position of power in the Aztecs or Egypt around the time of 1400 B.C. It's all in the face, the eyes, the clean exotic-olive complexion, and the simple, yet decorative, jewelry adorning her neck.
FMUK ... I'd figure that if there was ever a time that you would drop by (whether it be by coincidence or design), it would be when Rosie's pictures were posted. A woman who is closer to your home is just as good as home cooking.

Thank you for the accurate observation. Anyone can take a picture. It takes vision to develop a style that is uniquely and distinctly your own.

It seems like the girls are all pretty comfortable with you taking pictures of them and their feet, which is awesome. Your approach must be second-to-none.
They feel pretty comfortable because all that's happening is that photos of their feet are being taken, which is really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. They're comfortable because the instructions I give them are all too simple, I take my time during the shoot, and I have normal conversations with them because they're human, too. The conversations are so easy to have with these beautiful women that it's very easy to go from one topic to another. After a while, they sort of forget that their feet are being photographed even though it's happening right in front of them because by that time they have been "conditioned" into accepting the idea that this whole thing is completely normal, even though complete strangers asking women to take photos of their bare feet is an extremely uncommon request when they're out there in public just going about their daily lives.
I might touch on this a little more, but I'll leave it here for now.

quote:Originally posted by footboy1: An observation--- I have noticed in your recent posts an increase of hand shots, and other "neutral" innocent poses as well, not involving feet. I assume this is done in part to ease the subject into eventually taking her shoes off and posing her soles?
-footboy1
I don't think that's why I take pictures of their hands, although that's a good guess on your part. In the overwhelming percentage of shoots I've done (including the ones I have yet to show), I don't include hands either because I'm distracted with other things that are going on in the shoot or because I simply forget to include them in the array of photos. In many of the shoots, the hands are not included in the shoot at all. The ladies feel comfortable with me with or without the hand shots.
The real reason why I take photos of their hands is to highlight that there's more to the woman than just her feet. I want to do something different and show something different. In this thread, the stories tends to focus more on their personalities than their feet, and that's by design. I leave it up the members here to talk about her feet. I goal here is to have neutral shots (meaning shots that look more artful, less pornographic) and stories that sound neutral that just so happens to have the feet element involved somehow.
I like to explore different things about the women. The more they let you explore, the more grateful everything feels.
quote:Originally posted by Icarus: Nice! Thanks, National. I was wondering how you recall all the intricate details, as you do? Do you take notes?
One of the best questions I've ever received here.
There are two reasons why I would take notes. One, is if she recommends some type of music that she wants me to listen to and that I might find interesting. Either I do it during the shoot or right after the shoot is over. Two, to record her foot size (in that case, I don't take note of that until after I get home). And that's it. Other than that, I don't take notes of anything at all.
I love observing how different one woman is from the next, and loving the fact that different types or different kinds of women would allow me to take photos of them from out of the blue. Each subject has something different to offer to the table and I love the dynamics that make up their personalities, regardless if she's outgoing or very introverted. I just pay attention to what's going on.
I don't think anyone remember this, but back in my old thread, I talked about how I invited a friend with me to Bryant Park to see me in action in person. But if he comes across this post, he'll tell you that at no time did I ever carry a notepad with me to notes.
I make them feel at ease and these women just open up to me and their stories just stays with me. And that feels so good.

This past week was probably the best showing of pictures that we've seen in a while. That week was packed with great women from start to finish. That "Jane" set, although short, could've been mentioned about more in these pages because it seems like National knows how to do bikini shots better than anyone that I can think of. It was sexy seeing the sweat on her back and ass as she laid there sunbathing. I wish that National had found a way to stay there longer. That would've been one of the more talked about shoots in here, but something is better than nothing, I suppose.
Tsarevna is Queen. It's a shame, but also very sexy that someone as hot and as young as she is would admire people who abuse their power. Reading that part of her description, I can't help but think that Tsarevna is also a Trump supporter, and that she would like him even more if he became judge, jury, and executioner. She already loves Putin, so for her this is a tag team match made in heaven.
Politics aside, she is clearly one of the hottest women I've ever seen in this ENTIRE forum and her feet do not disappoint in the very least, as they live up to the rest of her hot body. The second part of the shoot was also one of the more memorable ones for me because of the closeups of her face with that tall building in the backround on that sunny day. Those particular shots are so well taken that I will remember those for a long time to come.
Any man twice her age would be thrilled to have the kind of interaction that you had with her. You're such a smooth operator with these ladies that I don't have the time to touch on them all in this message.
But Tsarevna? Man, her feet are HOT and you made them look priceless. Women like her giving you the time of day to let you do all of this to them? You must have the looks and charm to get her to follow your lead.

Tsarvena: Geez, man. Foot_Fashion said all there needs to be said. However, I do admire that you took shots of her reflective eyewear without your own reflection being revealed except your hands. Probably happenstance but still, that sorta captures your ethos.
The legs-to-the-side pose I was referring to is this one:
I love observing how different one woman is from the next, and loving the fact that different types or different kinds of women would allow me to take photos of them from out of the blue.

Yes, there is something about CJ that is unlike any of the other women we've seen here in that she exudes the type of sexiness that can hypnotize you with her eyes, especially with the way she looked into the camera in some of those shots. Perhaps it is royalty.
It's also funny was that royalty line was brought up, especially when you consider that a CASTLE was in the backround of some of her pictures. It's funny how that all came together, the royal comment, and the fact that a castle was also in the picture, even though I suspect that Hyperion had never given the castle a second thought as he was thinking that. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just that it's funny how all of this just happen to happen.
This is the first time that something this strange has happened in this thread.

I must say something about Russia's finest - Tsarevna. Taking into account how hot she is, I would happily lose my dick in the molten lava inside her vagina if that meant getting to have sex with her for five seconds!
Love the shots with that tall building in the back. Love how she looked as she looked into the sky with the building in the behind her. Classic shots, my friend. Her feet are the stuff of dreams, her soles are perfect, her toes are beautiful. She is so hot.
Even though I read the story about her, I still don't know how you did it, National. You're THAT good! Posts: 448 | Registered: May 2009

Those shoots with Rosie and CJ Bella are perhaps two of your most well-rounded shoots you have done. With Rosie, I like how you have her walking around the park in some shots, and I liked that you included the samples that you took in front of the museum that you included in your story. Love the face shots because it makes us look at them differently than the way we look at them if the shot also includes their feet. Your style of shooting their faces makes the entire viewing experience pure.
Love how you were able to include shots of CJ's purse in the mix, making the shoot more complete. And I love how 3 of the first 4 pictures of CJ shows the sky matching with the white of the page, making it hard on the eyes to be able to tell where the frame of the thumbnail begins.
Masterful as always.

Hey yeah, you're right. I read his subsequent post about the castle with interest but I failed to notice its presence in these pics. Funny!
You can't miss it. I appears in four pictures in Page 2 of her shoot.

With these women, I see them, walk up to them and start the conversation. There was nothing creepy about it, there was nothing weird about it, the interactions were totally normal. What's being demonstrated from me when I talk to them is your basic Law of State Transference, meaning if you don't think it's a big deal, she's not going to think it's a big deal. But, if you walk up to her, and you're feeling like the creepy old guy, saying things to yourself like, "Ew, I'm creepy, I'm doing this – what ... um, um, um, ... I'm so much older than her ... this is not gonna work ..." If you go up to her with that mindset in your head, then guess what: she's going to feel that. If you feel creepy, SHE'S going to feel creepy and she's going to feel, "Yeah, this IS creepy ..."
You can even be not that much older than her. Suppose you're a year or two older than someone like Tsarevna, or a CJ, or an Audrey, and you walk up to her thinking, "... oh my gosh, this is creepy!" she's going to get creeped out, even though you're only a year or two older than her. Why? Because you are projecting those feelings onto her. So again, what you feel, she feels.
As you see from these stories and photos, there was nothing creepy, nothing weird about the interactions, these women were totally into it. The fact that I'm ten to fifteen years older than these aforementioned women, including Heidi from Iceland and Rosie Holloway, it was still something that never became an issue for them. It was never an issue because I never gave off that vibe that suggested that the age difference was weird or out of whack. I was just talking to these women, they knew I was attracted to them.
With Rosie, for example, I went right up to her, sat next to her and told her she was cute, and I was pretty honest about it. At no time was there any point in that conversation where she was like, "Oh my God, this guy is so much older than me, ... it's weird, ... it's creepy!" None of that even came up because none of it mattered.

These three women above are some of the more memorable models I have ever photographed and even better females I have ever known. These women, along all of the others in here, have been "discovered", and later befriended, from my visits to Central Park.
Relive the stories and enjoy the photos as this thread goes on a mid-season break. I will be back here for the start of the second half of the 2016 season as we transition from the summer into autumn.
I thank you guys so very much. It was an honor and pleasure to be able to produce original content that I have created. Thank you for sticking around, I appreciate the support you have given me, and I hope you guys have a safe and incredible summer.

quote:Originally posted by National: NATURAL CLASSIC CJ Bella owns a T-shirt with enough holes to pattern a slice of Swiss cheese. She took that shirt with her when she was visiting her mother's house on a vacation trip. The two were heading out when the mother said, "Sorry, can you please change that?" But overall, she doesn't have to tone it down.
Such is the life of a woman who belongs in two worlds. She grew up riding horses, the daughter of a man who shoots guns and rides a Harley. Today, she lives in Manhattan - where she specializes in brand imaging and public relations development for the fashion, beauty and lifestyle industries. Both places are home; CJ is a product of the two of them.
She has polarities. She listens to alternative metal and gravitate to dark things at times, but she grew up in the middle of nowhere, going to Walmart. In her own words, she's weird but also completely normal.
For this woman, who is half Spaniard-half Mexican, reconciling these disparities is her coming-of-age. She says that living in New York City is like being in a abusive relationship. She gets burned out. It's important for her to go back to Arizona, where her heart is, and hear no sirens and see the sky. "You never see the sky in New York. But then I'm like, Fuck, I want to be back there. It's an addiction." Therein lies her quarter-life calling. Like many people her age, she's still figuring herself out - and she's okay with that. She likes being human. She thinks that nobody knows what they're doing, and that's totally fine for her.
WHY SHE KEEPS UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS She's a big fan of the Kardashians. She has two personalities. She can be weird and dark, but she thinks the Kardashians appeal to the basic side of her personality. She also tries to intellectualize the show in an anthropological way. She rationalizes this by saying that they're human and no less valuable than anyone else.
THE ART GALLERY She loves the Austrian painter Egon Schiele. Sometimes she'll go to a museum and not feel much, but one when she saw a Schiele show at New York City's Neue Galerie, she wanted to spend the entire day there. That tells you how much his work resonates with her. It was weirdly uncomfortable for her to look at, yet delicate and artistic.
A TRAIT THAT SHE FINDS UNATTRACTIVE Any man who's overly polite bores her.
Would let her dominant me in anyway with her feet!
