#599: Friend Opportunity


i used to shoot feet in secret, mostly on trains. because i rode an hour and a half one way, and i think feet are funny, with all their curves, secret spaces, and capacity for stink.

natalie is a korean girl who passed through chiang mai on her way to bangcok. we hung out for a few days- i told her about the way i understand the relationship between a photo document and the thing to which it refers. she told me about an abusive boss in singapore, and desire to end up in nyc.

one day she came with me to see the blind masseur, shinchai. it turned out that she got a treatment from his assistant, leo, as i got my training. later we took leo to a reggae bar.

i don't shoot feet in secret anymore, but i still love to look at them. i am convinced that a foot's attributes tattle on a persons secrets, and that one of it's parts is a window to the soul.
