Hey, always enjoy your posts.

And, yes, I've loved messing w/ photography for years. Because I have really long arms I've been able to take "selfies" since before there was such a thing. For 10 or so years now I've been photographing my bare feet in various outdoor settings... go feets!

Interesting subject to capture your feet in different settings-- I like it!

That sounds like a very unique series. I imagine it could be a fun time lapse if you combined them all together?

I never even though how having long arms would help with selfies, but suddenly it seems so obvious!

I had a friend insist I had monkey arms for a while, so it's possible I also have long arms, but I honestly am not sure. I guess I'll just need to take more selfies to find out.

Right?! I'm obsessed with Ginger's photography.

I have her prints all over my apartment. XD

Check your “chimp factor”. Measure your arms, fingertip to fingertip then measure your height. I have a positive chimp factor of 1 inch. My brother came up with this… it’s not hard science…. Enjoy the holidays.

Hi Mitchell! I totally agree with this.

I really struggle to let myself live in the moment when I'm surrounded by something exciting or beautiful, like a new city or nature.

I'm very compelled to capture moments, which is both fun and also deprives me from really living.

I try at least to take x number of photos and then I convince myself that I scratched that itch and then put my phone away. Sometimes I succeed at this and other times I continually have no self control-- "Wait, but the sunlight just changed from behind that cloud!" lol
