Actually, I think that it has really become a “thing”, lately, with all the social media crap…but my first foot selfie was around 1976….and I have off and on taken them ever since! It took me a bit of work, but I gathered up all that I could find, to present to you, my fellow Charcoter’s! I could not find my original first one, though it is no doubt buried in a box somewhere!…but I remember it, and the dorky shoes I was sporting, a pair of WALLABY’S! Remember those? If not, you are too young, lol!
Of course what is really special about this photo montage, is that I STILL HAVE BOTH OF MY FEET!!!!!! So I am free to continue the tradition and still take foot selfies with both feet “present”! ! ! ! ! ! ! (way big smile!!)
Not sure where this one was taken, but my guess is Catalina Island, Ca. I’m on a dock looking down…I was drawn by the width between the slats. Gonna fall through! Below is an example of proper snow footwear……
And what not to wear in the snow!! Flipflops in the snow?? What can I say! 🙂
This photo below, is not trick photography…I am not a ninja ghost walking up a tree! But rather, it is a creek I found in Big Sur, Ca….with a fallen log across it, so I had to photo my feet, natch!
I have saved the best for last…I spent many years doing black and white photography, and this image was part of a study I was doing. At the time I was drawn to the shading, and the composition of my two feet creating an “S” curve between the two of them, but now all I see is my freaking awesome arches!!!. LOL! Of course, I still have my arch on my right foot, but my Charcot Foot has sadly lost it…but it is actually coming back! My doctor said it may take some time, but it may come back into shape. Pretty cool, eh!
