A pair of Chinese women were sitting off the library terrace, near the statue of Gertrude Stein. They had a table and were relaxing. Were they tourists? Not sure -- they were an adult dauighter and a very hip mom who looked like she was only about 20 years older, and the daughter had a metrocard in her phone carry case which seems sort of local to me. So my suspicion they are from the city -- maybe Queens? -- in Manhattan for a gorgeous late fall day. Mom had her pumps on but daughter had her running shoes OFF with her soft pampered bare feet propped up on a chair. This was a bit of a challenge because a) I did not know how mom would react if I sat down and shot daughter's soles, and b) this isn't like the lawn where you can just sit on the grass. This involved sitting, well, on the ground. But in this case I was fortunate because there is a little ledge going around this particular seating area and the ledge was perfectly located for me to sit on. That's one issue resolved. Now, how would mom react?
As far as I can tell, she didn't at all. This has generally been my experience with Asian moms actually -- I've shot their beautiful daughters on multiple occasions and the moms NEVER do or say ANYTHING. The same goes for European parents. It's only American parents that make a fuss, even though I never sit down to shoot unless I'm 100% confident that the girl is 18+.
But like I said, the camera came right out and I focused it right on her soft soles with either a little bit of sock fuzz on them or maybe a tiny bit of peely skin, but so soft and plump and sensitive looking. I would call her about a size 9, rather big for a Chinese girl. She was plump in a very cute and attractive way, with a little tummy. I loved her look INSTANTLY and it made me love her exposed soles even more.
Just about the whole time I sat there she was taking selfies, including that Asian thing of doing the peace sign while photographing, which I just don't get. The mom sat there and chatted with her like another schoolgirl, even taking pics of her daughter at the same time I was shooting! The girl knew what I was up to because she was peeking at me quite a bit but those soft tender soles stayed right where they were, which is in itself a huge buzz for me. At one point another Chinese lady walked by with her toddler and this little guy made a beeline right over to ya girl! I think he saw her bare feet and wanted to gawk a bit, a foot guy in training! He walked right up on the girl and stood there staring at her bare feet, looking very tempted to go over and touch them. The girl actually took notice of him and smiled when she saw him staring at her feet (see image 5). Then his mom called him away. This whole thing is caught on film (but of course the little boy is not seen in the clip). I think that little guy was one of us! Maybe when he's a teen he will bump into my store and say "IT'S THAT GIRL!" lol
Eventually she put her feet down and put her well worn running shoes back on. I was about to pack up and go when she put her sneaker shod feets back up and I just had to go back and shoot a few seconds of that too!

Cool find with her, and a funny side story with that little kid. Would have been even more humorous if as he was gawking and looking very tempted to touch them, he decided that the temptation was too much and went over and tickled her feet. That would have been interesting: would she at that point have pulled her feet away? Or let the little dude have his innocuous fun for a few seconds until mom called him away? Haha.
I can just imagine him roughly 15 years or so from now on either this site or TMP posting a reply in one of those "How did your foot fetish start" threads:
"I remember being at a park in NYC when I was little and I suddenly saw this girl with her bare feet up. Her soles were just so big and soft looking, I went right up to them and just stared at them and she smiled at me. I was thinking about playing with them, but I remember my mom called me away before I could."
