Mortician's Foot Fetish

Mortician's Foot Fetish strange title, but Morticians are only human and have normal desires, except their human social interactions are with a population most of us do not have. Feet at the morgue, like good cheese, improve with aging giving them good coloration and aroma.

To well understand what morticians experience and to see death from a different view. There is on YouTube, a series by mortician Caitlin Doughty called "Ask A Mortician." Mr. Doughty is a great storyteller.

To be honest the image is a normal foot modified by Editing within Dream Studio. I did a series of these blue and yellow modified images for a display of five images based on the color modification theme.

Sad to say AI random modifications that give surprising results are becoming too refined for my taste. Google DeepDreams is one of those, I miss the program mistakenly seeing cats, dogs, snakes, and birds where there are none, those were fun times. Help...is there a way to get back that insanity in images?

MORTICIANS HAVE FETISHES TOO

Yes, unique by treatment, but also how many feet or foot photos do we see? Few~!

My friend was asleep on the sofa, and her foot was sticking out from the covers... snap, click, photo opportunity. Her hand was positioned near her mouth fingers and thumb as tho holding a cell phone, which was below her hand having escaped her clutches.

Not your typical photo shot. But any subject is for the taking. I think if you didn’t do your post processing it would just be a foot. And a viewer would say ho hum.

It certainly grabs your attention. Not sure I see the mortician connection other than if someone's feet were really that color, he/she would probably not be with us anymore.

Every oddball photo deserves a story and yes a ho-hum foot photo once modified deserves a connection to something... and yep, you got it right...." mortician connection other than if someone's feet were really that color, he/she would probably not be with us anymore." Do enjoy "Night of Living Dead" Part 2. It is humorous.

Having been an apprentice mortician in my college days, taking foot photos never occurred to me... also never occurring- until today, because of your color and texture choices, is Don McLean's song, now ruined by, "Toe-y, Toe-y night... hammer toe and bunions, too... stuffed inside a too tight shoe... ...And how you tried to set them free...

my apology...

fuminous, yes, songs and movie memories are great references in our memory catalog. He did American Pie ... Now revised, new lyrics, " Drove My Tesla to the Levy No Gas Tank I Spy."

This photo is one the ladies have avoided commenting on!

Hmmm...great oportunity! I think if you asked her to let you photograph her foot, she may have turned you down. But photographing her foot while she was sleeping was an oportunity not to be missed. What did she say when she saw your photo?

" I think if you asked her to let you photograph her foot, she may have turned you down." Probably yes would have said no, "I am not big on feet". If I told her why she would have reluctantly agreed. She is staying with me between jobs, and then will go back to live luxury in Indonesia for about a thousand a month. Life of adventure and working on her second book.

There was a failure to see the humor in this photo by some of the group here... I doubt if any went to the "Ask A Mortician" site, she tells many historic stories. They are typically told in a comedic way.

I am sorry. For a while here, I thought I had come across a previously lost Van Gogh, in which he passionately painted the object of HIS affections. Again, sorry
