Let me start by saying I’ve on the forum for years and I think this is one of the best if not the best place for all of us with a foot fetish to meet, share, enjoy viewing and talking about women’s feet . I have the privilege of shoot women’s feet of all shapes sizes and colors. I’m not one that only comes in to view but I do post all of my own images that I have taken with my camera or cell phone. I’ve seen some on here that have said some things about some women’s feet that I felt they could have keep to themselves. Now me being the type that’ll go check out those individuals forum post resume; I find that the majority of the time those individual has not posted one single image. Not one image that they have taken, hell not even one from the web. My question is: Why is it always the leaches that have something out of the way to say? Please let me hear your thoughts .

It is pretty simple really. One third of the people work hard, inovate, contribute, invent, develop, create, grow, evolve, give and share. One third of the people sit back, judge, critisize, evaluate, point fingers, want, and have a sense of entitlement. One third of the people are completely lost, and have no clue about anything. You sir, are an example of the first third, as i like to think I am as well. We have to deal with, tolerate, feel sorry for, have compassion for, understanding for, hope for, the other two thirds! When you see it in that simple perspective, your tolerance, and higher intelligence, will allow you to handle everything with compassion, understanding and humor!!! Keep doing, and being, the amazing person that you are, because without you, and the first third of people, this world would be doomed!!!!!

What's even more are the leaches on social media who blur your own watermark out and overlay their own on top of where yours used to be and they do it to thousands of other contributors' photos and claim they are all theirs and the hard work and rewards from such are theirs as well. So, I agree with both you guys...although Royals, it's probably more like 60/40 and that last "1/3" can be clumped in with the 2nd "1/3".

I contribute pics every time I take some. Does that give me room to judge some of the fugly feet I see others post? lol. I wouldn't though. I'm a really polite kind of guy.

Leeches are why I stopped sharing my work on Flickr. I don't share here mainly because there's no interest for what I shoot.

Posted by Feet & High Heel Photog (Member # 26111) on :

I post on here as well. I know i may not post the feet that everyone wants to see or do I post the most beautiful feet on here but one thing I won't do is down any feet I see on here. I try to find something i like about a woman's feet. It may I like her soles better then I do her toes and so on but the bottom line is I won't say anything negative. @Robotron2084 I too post images here that most don't like but i will not let that stop me. I took a look at you MM port and WOW you style of photography is a work of art.

I believe even centuries later, they're still excellent medicine for everything.

I'm not going to go back and forth with anyone on social media sites. Getting into your feelings just because I disliked a post that you recently made yet I still showed credit. Accept the fact that someone will always have something to say about something. Adults handle their problems. Not by sneak dissing. [Laugh]

I peep everything. To the rest of y'all I'am a photographer and I understand the credit part. I'll post some of my work soon. Y'all have a blessed day. [Smile]

Btw my avi is one of my female friends.

when i read this topic title, i was more than a little nervous you guys were going to talk about being into seeing leeches.. the parasitic worm.. on girls feet.

Do I qualify as a leech? Probably. I haven't posted an image to the forum, because I don't know anyone who would model their feet for me.

That said, the forum is not my primary source for JOM. I like supporting my favorite sites and I've spent a fair share on clips from various C4S stores. When I'm on this forum, I prefer to conduct myself in a respectful manner. That means I don't unnecessarily criticize producers (even when I feel that I would be right in doing so).

Also, if I weren't a leech, I wouldn't give a damn about what other people were producing. Why bother, when I have a steady stream of my own material that is pitched to please me 100% of the time and 100% in accordance with my own taste?

LOL! I thought the same thing! [Bump]

I just dropped my Instagram for that reason. A bunch of motherfuckers that "collect" pics off other peoples pages and get them off the net think I give a fuck what they want to see and what they want to do to all the feet I take pics of!

I remember while I was in Iraq one of the Iraqi vendors having a secret stash of Cd's full on images taken off the internet. What they would do is sell those images to soldiers and government contractor.

I actually don't have a problem with so-called "leaches."

I launched a tumblr blog where I post exclusive pics of women that agree to model for me. I don't watermark the images. I post to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Anybody can do whatever they want with my images. I occasionally see my photos being used as screensavers, or on other people's tumblr's. It doesn't bother me at all.

I setup and execute shoots because I like doing it. I'm not trying to make money, or even build a brand or anything like that. I just like taking pics of women's feet and sharing them. Also, by posting them I can use the site to attract more models by sharing what I do when women inevitably ask what I'm into, do for fun, etc.

As far as criticism is concerned, I think people need to get over it of someone is critical. Frankly, it's annoying that some people expect everyone to either fawn over their models, and their work, or keep quite. If someone thinks your stuff sucks, firing back that they don't contribute is not respectable response in my book. Maybe they don't contribute, but that doesn't mean your photos don't have shitty lighting, are noisy, and your models feet are what might generally be considered appealing. I would just get over it and be happy that I'm fortunate enough to be a producer/consumer and not just a consumer.

The fact that Wu's is one of the "you can only post nice comments" forums makes it less interesting.

I think it's just called having "class" and common "decency" not to come into a thread you technically don't have to come into if you don't like the content and make senseless rude comments to people who think the world of the photos they shot.
So what? Let them have their moment in the tiny spotlight this forum can offer them even if their work is less than what's "hot" to the rest of us. There's an old proverb that says "Gentlemen don't shit on the beds they have to sleep on". [Wink]

And IG resizes the pics to a god-aweful size anyway. I thought FB was bad about that. Over the years I started shooting more fan requests, but didn't get a whole lot since I already shoot "most" angles or styles. [Thumbs Up]
