    Default Professional pictures of feet? What ....REALLY?

    Ok first I hope I don't offend anyone who is a photographer. So I was on facebook and was on one of my group pages and this photographer was announcing a special...for only $200 you could have a lasting picture done by a professional of your feet???? Are you kidding? I have a hard enough time paying for pictures when they are of my face but why?? why?? would someone pay that much money for a picture of feet...oh and you could have up to 6 pairs of feet in the photo! Just thought I'd see if I'm the only one who can't grasp this and please if you get it and would pay that I would love to know why???
    I get that flip flop pics are cute but trust me know one wants to walk into your house and see a 11x14 picture of your feet!!
    Thanks!!

    Side note: no I did not comment because good manners tell me not to insult someones business but I did feel the need to rush here and get opinions.

    Maybe the photographer was just trying to generate attention/publicity without having to give too much away, knowing not many people would take her up on it...

    there actually are people who model feet. maybe she was looking for someone like that. I would rather spend my money on pics of the grandkids tho. Just my opinion.

    I got a Chriatmas card one year of the feet of a family of six!! I had a hard time with my reaction to this...still think it was totally weird.

    There are a surprising number of foot fanatics (fetishers) out there who might really get off on this idea, but it sure seems ratheer weird to me! Altho' I must admit, I once saw a photo of a DH/DW couple whom I enjoy that was hanging in the privacy of their bedroom, taken on the beach in the islands somewhere, taken from the back of them holding cocktails and looking into the sunset....except they were completely naked in all their middle-aged glory! It was actually rather sweet and cute. And private in their bedroom (where I had been sent to use the bathroom). I have often wondered who took it!

    I think there's a photographer out there somewhere with a major foot fetish.
