So I am currently an undergrad at Alberta College of Art and Design and I was recently assigned a project worth a huge amount of my final mark where we can make a piece about anything thou the only limitation is the theme of maps.
Here is where you lovely beings fit in:
The concept is that it is a map of the world through the characteristics and stories of images of peoples feet/ shoes. For example someone wearing ballet slippers from Russia say something very different then someone wearing old leather boots in Scotland.
My idea is to create a 42.5" X 32" piece with 8.5 " squares. Each square will consist of a high realist graphite drawing of feet/shoes from different people around the world. So, if you could help me out and take a picture of your feet that would be amazing! These images can be just as strong as facial portraits and the location and foot wear can say a lot about each individual.
The Plan:
A reference of what your photo should look like:
Proof I can actually draw:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!! IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!!

I can't take a picture right now, but I have a photo of my favorite shoes that I was thinking about using in a look later. It's a little edited, but I hope it can help you :)
Good luck!

I already have some photos of my feet saved to my computer as I like to take photos of feet when I go to exciting places. I see it as a visual memento of "where I've walked" so to speak.
So here you go! Take your pick! (Awesome idea, by the way!)
Sorry that there are two pairs in most of them. I guess you can always just select one pair.

Go to photobucket.com, set up an account and upload them. When you have uploaded them there will be an html code below the image. Copy and paste it in a reply.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I think that the worn out boots sorta represent the horrible Irish weather! (Not to mention the evidence of rain in the background! ;D)
