Very sad to hear this, but totally understand where you're coming from and I don't blame you one bit, Adam. Better to go out while you are still on top of your game.
Thanks very much for all the great stuff over the years, enjoy your retirement.

This is incredibly sad, I really don't know what to say. You have been around since I was in high school!!! And there are some things I just never want to change. I understand your reasons, but please never leave Wu's!!! You are a legend that along with a few others have been here since the beginning and changed the game for the rest of us. For that I thank you sincerely! But it is still very very sad Posted by Kokaith (Member # 22763) on :
If that's what you gotta do for you, then no one can fault you. Best of luck in your new endeavors.
Posted by sole arch-bishop (Member # 30462) on :
Worst news ever! But I understand where you are coming from Adam. Maybe after a break the spark will rekindle and you can do some part time work. Thank you for everything! You have provided me with more than you know over the years.
Posted by Smonster (Member # 4769) on :
I truly enjoyed your work while I was blessed with the means to have a sub on your site Adam! I was always impressed with the grace and elegance of your content and could tell it was a real passion for you.
Hope your new time off re-vitalises you back into good spirits and good luck with everything that you do! You deserve a vacation!
Many Thanks, Sam

But in all seriousness, thanks for all the hard work and well wishes to whatever you do and wherever you go from here on out.

Take a bow, Adam. You made a difference. Thanks for the great imagery over the years, you're one of my favorite photographers. Good luck with your new ventures. Posted by GQguy (Member # 16534) on :
Thanks man. You lived the dream and shared it with all of us. Your work was truly art, and if I were to introduce foot fetish media to a vanilla novice your work would be what I'd start with to break them in.

Bummer man...sad to see the site go.
What about all the model pages? Still will keep them.up for members or will you take it all down?
Thanks

Adam,
You have always been, and always will be one of the most genuine and nicest people I've interacted with in all my years of Soles of Silk and the years prior. Your work has always been top notch and the fact that you care so much about your well being and life just shows that you're dedicated to everything in your life. If it's time to call it quits, or take a break, then you have deserved to do so. Like other people have said, do what you have to do. You'll always be welcome here and as long as you want to be a moderator, you're going to be one. I'd miss chatting with you, so don't be a stranger no matter where life takes you.
Patrick

Adam, you've been an inspriration to me for long more than a decade now and it will be sad to see you winding down your feet site. Your work has always been top notch and set the standard in my opinion for bright colorful feet photography.
Pair that with the fun themes and beautiful girls and great attitude of you as a photographer and it is apparent that the feet website community is losing a great stalwart. Cheers and I wish you well in your next endeavours. Posted by solefull00 (Member # 44401) on :

Hey guys, I'm deeply moved by all the good words and well wishes, and I can't thank you all enough for being so kind and gracious to me. I just shot with Giovanna yesterday for my next to last official session, and I'm trying to figure out who I should go out with. I will keep you posted as I get more information.
Posted by oneagain (Member # 35859) on :
What about Francine? Will you have some more shoots to publish with her or what you have on the site is the last?
Thanks
Posted by Fair Adam (Member # 13350) on :
I have three more unposted sets with Francine, including the one with Marien and Tessa, shown at the beginning of this thread, plus one more of her and Tessa, and another one of her alone. Since I have one more paid slot left at my studio, I'm hoping to get either a brand new model, or one that's already in Feet Fair, but is popular with my audience.

Tracy!!!!!
Posted by trini_looker (Member # 31815) on :
Noooooooooooooooooooo...............!!! Adam, you have set an extremely high standard that many will strive but would not attain. Both you and your work will be greatly missed!
As for the last model, how about a blast from the past? Fancy, Lisa D, Maureen, Sakura, Sahrye
Or a go out with a bang...a multiple girl shoot.
But Adam, have you thought of: 1. Mentoring someone to take over the site? 2.Instead of weekly updates, maybe every other week, or even monthly, thereby reducing your workload?
Posted by The Shoe Store Kid (Member # 2859) on :
Funny thing, I was thinking about joining up to Feet Fair this week.
I really enjoy your work. And now, I finally have the cash to join your site.
I was wondering when you would shut the site down? Or, whether you would leave it up?

I intend to completely shut down the site, and I'm shooting to do it by the end of the year, but in truth, it might be as soon as the end of October.

Very sad news, indeed. Your work has always been of the highest standard and will be greatly missed. The best of luck to you on all of your future endeavors.

Adam,
This is going to be long, so I'm letting you know beforehand. Sir, its been an absolute pleasure getting to admire your work over the years. Yes, its very sad indeed that you're going out into the sunset. Feetfair was one of the first sites I could remember stumbling upon browsing the net back in 05-06. I could remember seeing Bombshell Mandy's incredible arches, Francine's amazing collabos, Maureen and Fancy's tantalizing wrinkled soles. I could keep going. Dude, you're going down as a legend in my book. I've seen sites come and go so much without a whimper. But I'm so glad that you've chosen to speak to us about what your next steps are.
Once again Adam, its been a pleasure and I'm sure for your final act you won't disappoint us fans of your work. Don't be a stranger my friend and I wish you luck on your future endeavors!
Sincerely, Soleguy05

damn sucks to read this as news..i have joined memberships on feetfair multiple times, since highschool myself. I admired the work you have done! thanks man! Posted by jpfeet (Member # 49072) on :
I just signed up so i can comment on this thread.
Your site is by far my most favourite foot themed site. Your photography and attention to detail is fantastic. Your choice in models has always been great. im really hoping for Julie to be your last model.
I havent been subscribed to the site for the last 6months because of finance issues but was thinking of doing so in november. What will happen to your photos? will there be a sale? i would be gutted to miss out on the last 6months updates
good luck in the future and i hope you eventually come around to shooting foot fetish models again
Posted by Azer (Member # 47429) on :
Sad to hear that from you adam, but will feetfair sets be gone forever? you have some true good work and should not be thrown away...
Posted by Fair Adam (Member # 13350) on :
Just so you guys know, I will probably stop paying my Internet provider at some point, so my site will be locked out. I have all my work backed up on an external drive though, plus I keep all my photos on disks too.
Posted by jpfeet (Member # 49072) on :
Will you sell them afterwards by PM? or will it all end? sorry for the million questions, feetfair was just the best site
Posted by Fair Adam (Member # 13350) on :
To be completely honest jpfeet, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm still trying to figure out the last issue, and who will be featured. I have a lot of decisions to make, but I promise to sort it all out soon.
Posted by KDogg128 (Member # 47547) on :
Adam, you featured an older model many, many years ago named Iwona. Would it be possible to get a final glimpse of her sets before you close the site for good?
Posted by Lordsoysauce (Member # 2193) on :
Adam, thank you for everything. Your work has been a staple of my internet life since I found this forum a decade ago.
Thank you. And thank you to your long-time models who've made this experience great.

Hey buddy, I had to really dig around for these; I had not seen them in years and had almost forgotten about Iwona. She was a really nice mature lady from Europe (I think she was Swiss) whose husband was living in the NYC area temporarily because of his company. Iwona told me she had done some modeling in her younger years, and decided to take on local gigs to ward off boredom. She was immensely likable, and I really loved her feet. I didn't know how to use a digital camera at the time (I had a Nikon Coolpix 900) and didn't have a studio, so the shots were done in my bedroom with ambient light, hence the crappy quality. Those were pretty innocent days for me though, before the cynicism started settling in, and I look back to Iwona in fondness, may she be doing great, wherever she may be...

Ahhh, yes... there she is. I love those wrinkled soles. It would have been great if she could have stayed in the states and become a regular model. Even without a studio or a professional rig and lighting, your talent shines through. Thanks for this wonderful walk down memory lane.
Hopefully after a well-deserved hiatus, you'll get the itch to get back into this. Rest assured, that your fans will be right here to welcome you back.
Posted by KDogg128 (Member # 47547) on :
Hey Adam, Would it be possible to also check out Iwona's sets on the FeetFair site?
Posted by awkwardfootguy (Member # 48004) on :
Good luck in your future endeavors, whatever they may be. Your site was a huge success and certainly had some of the best high arched foot models out here. Thank you.

That's so interesting to me 'cause I have also noticed that image used on this forum for some link. While I agree it's a pretty decent shot of Dee, it wouldn't crack the top ten of my personal favorites that we've done together, but that's what makes life interesting...

To be honest, I haven't even though of what to do with DVDs. That's such an old technology, that I hardly get sales anymore so it's low priority for me right now...

Ha! Wait 'til you get a load of Eri and Francine. I have all my pics backed up in an external drive, so they'll just go into permanent storage. Thank you for your support.

So, I'm seeing this a couple years late. I was wondering what happened. This makes me want to cry a little. I'll certainly miss Mona Lisa, Lana, and Bombshell Mandy. I have 2 questions for you Adam:
1) Any chance you'll open up the clips store? I want to get some clips, and some of them are very old (Mandy and Lana for instance). If not, then how might I acquire clips of yours? 2) Who are some of the models who were hard to work with?
Posted by jpfeet (Member # 49072) on :
Adam has started to sell sets seperately so hopefully more could come Posted by Fair Adam (Member # 13350) on :

I have no plans to reopen, but I'm talking to a guy who might want to become a partner and do the day to day running of the site, which sounds great but I still don't have a whole lot of time to shoot these days...
BTW, why would you want to know which models were hard to work with? Posted by Grey (Member # 47958) on :
Had I known it was about to close, I would've made a lot of purchases of clips and even DVDs. Should've purchased Mandy's and Lana's DVDs a long time ago. I'd be interested to make a few purchases from you directly if you were ever willing to do that.
To answer your question, when you're looking at model's feet for a certain amount of time, you begin to wonder what she's like, her personality, etc. I'd like to know which models were difficult to work with and had a bad attitude.
Also, have you ever worked with a model who actually had smelly feet?
Thanks
