totally meta - me taking photos of lego me taking photos

these were inspired by andrew whyte's project. tho' i used my real camera, not my iPhone. aside: do you think there will come a time (soon) when we don't make a distinction between our real cameras and our phones? this isn't my official mini me, it's one i assembled myself <gasp> from minifigs we had around, plus the camera that loststar kindly sent to me. not sure why i chose red. i really don't have that many clothes that are red. but the girl scientist's head works very nicely (she's from series 11 if you're keeping track), and the hair is the right length, tho' i never part my hair in the middle, so it's not entirely accurate.

a foot fetish?

i'm not that keen on taking pictures of random strangers in public. i think i'm reluctant to have a confrontation if they catch me at it and ten years in scandinavia has rendered me unable to use what should be my natural american ability to just talk to strangers (tho' in all honesty, i'm not sure i ever had it) and ask them if i can snap their picture.  however, i have no problem at all photographing people's feet. it somehow seems safer. you can do it more surreptitiously and i've found that it can be more interesting than you think.

it all started with a really cool tattoo i saw in a really cool spot on a foot. i want.

then i saw these shoes. they were sparkly. i like sparkly. however, i'm less keen on socks with sandals. even if they are pink socks.

then you find yourself sitting someplace with a good coffee and just shooting all of the feet that go by.

there is the occasional odd fashion choice.

and the odd dog.

sometimes there are sweet little people in pink.

then you start looking out for alternative-type people. i have to say, i prefer socks with my docs.

sometimes the shoes surprise.

more cute tattoos. little stars on that same part of the foot.

i think this may be the start of something fun. but at least i'm finally off those eyeballs.
