FOOT NOTES


There is nothing that I do creatively that puts me more "in the moment" than when I take pictures of my own feet while traveling.
The interesting part about having these photos of my feet is the moment I sit down to sift through them; days, months or even years later, they somehow magically transport me right back to the instance when I released the shutter button to capture that particular moment in time.
