Though, most of you already know that. It’s back to work for me today — somewhere in Zurich it hit me that I did indeed have a job and didn’t travel for a living.
In Belur, this carving inspired me to pick up the feet pictures (like the one I took in Tahiti last year), especially since at the time I was barefoot and my feet were quite pretty covered in mehendi.

Raju said one of the women there noticed what I was doing and was laughing at me. Since it was our honeymoon, I thought maybe we should capture our feet instead of just mine.

As the trip went on, and we were in Dubai, I began to document the Mehendi wearing off, and then the feet pictures became a trend. Maybe I should take one in each place we stopped.

In Florence I believe I may have forgotten my feet. But, Raju was being a daredevil at the Campanile, wanting to get a picture through the grate to show the stories we had been on below, and he managed to capture his feet in the process.

In Venice, as we relaxed on a gondola ride, we went back to photographing the feet together which became a trend the rest of the trip.

Then we made it back to the States and I put the camera away permanently. Not a single picture of the days we spent in New York.
It’s good to be home, but I’m sure I’ll be ready to do this again sooner than our wallets will be.
