Feet are an interesting subject in general, but especially when they are the object of a photograph. Some may say it weird or may even be grossed out by feet, but others are ok with them or may even have a fetish for them. For me, i'm more of just ok with them and don't think too much into it. I do however think that both feet and hands say a lot about a person if thought about in the right context. We can see if they are maybe a dancer or runner or soccer player or something that requires one to be on their feet or using their feet a lot. From the two photographs, i like the second of the untitleds best. For some reason it just seems to stand out from the other one. Also, i like that their are two pairs of feet but that they go every other which signifies the legs of the two people having to be crossed. To me, this shows a romantic interaction between people and one that may even have very much importance. I feel the intimacy of it and can get a good sense of caring from it as well. The first picture on the other hand doesn't do a whole lot for me. I do get a little sense of calming and relaxation from it, but it doesn't evoke as much of an emotion from me. I guess i'm not a qualified photographer or artist in any way really, but at the same time i don't see a ton of originality or creativity in either of them. I just don't get a specialness or quality to them as i think could and should be found in art and photography. Isn't there a saying that pictures are worth a thousand words? Well i think that the talent is there , but just that there either needs to be more inspiration or more of a creative or outside of the box thought process. I would like to see future stuff that got away from her current focus and allowed her to explore and experience a little.
