Find It At Your Feet
Saturday, July 4, 2009I just looked down and he was there looking so happy it made me wish I were a dog.

Brooklyn feet take 2: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KTavOwmnWQ6fnN4H2ddqQg?feat=directlink
The last feet. LIVING ROOM FEET: http://is.gd/203DB And of the three, I must say, the beach was the most relaxing and simultaneously engaging feet placement. The Brooklyn flea market was the most loving and smiling and buying cheap awesomeness with friends feet placement. And the living room feet....I'd like to say productive and responsible, but I have not done a lick of the work I wanted to get done tonight done. Them's some facebook-album-making-feet. And some Lisa Rinna workout video doing feet. But they are in the spot where my parents sat this weekend and THAT was a beautiful thing right there. Beige carpet=only beautiful when previously occupied by loved ones : )
This may not be the most creative feet-art, but they are definitely a good mix of feet and scenery : ) BEACH FEET: http://is.gd/200qW FLEA MARKET IN BROOKLYN FEET: http://is.gd/200US
I was riding my bike yesterday when along came a tiny frog! No bigger than my thumbnail. Glad I looked down :)

Life is simply perfect in these moments. In a coffee shop for hours, doing nothing, but learning everything. Notice the journal in my bag.

the beauty here is the shower drain about to wash all the dirt I've gathered over the day away and give me a fresh start :)

In this case the art was made by the 'foot' of someone else.

I love my duvet cover, and that first stretch in the morning is the best!
I just look right in front of me, and i end up looking at the sky... http://www.twitpic.com/9k9i5
Don't know if this counts as: A) Beauty, B) Hilarious, or C)Totally pointless.

But I stole it.

How lovely on the mountain are the feet that bring good news...
No picture, just a description. Under me right now, litterally at my feet, is a hardwood floor. I found beauty in it by thinking not just about the hardwood floor (which I love) but the entire building. I live in base housing, infact in one of the oldest sections of base housing on this military base, this wood floor is older than I am and has been in this building longer than i've been alive. Who's walked on? What have they done in their life? Are they still alive? If not how did they die? Did they die in battle, or of old age? Did they like this beautiful hardwood floor as much as I do? Next year this building and it's beautiful hardwood floors will be demolished, to make way for new housing.
@cinnamonbuns Thanks. After reading a little about your history, I consider your comment an even more profound compliment. And it's much appreciated.
@MaryHolmes Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. While it is focused on the U.S., it could be inspirational to the people in Iran fighting for freedom today as well. I'll pass it along to a few friends.
At the park filled with seagulls....ugh

sometimes we just need to look a little closer at the seemingly mundane:

@iamdawt thanks! i've been doing something like this for awhile now. i work for a design firm and although i'm not a designer, the principle/art director here is an awesome mentor. she's really got me to learn how to look for details and art in everyday things. these pics started as a hobby with my iphone to see what kind of pics i could take using the a camera with no flash and zoom and light control. i've been embarassed to show them up til now. this is my first day ever on soulpancake and for some reason i felt totally comfortable sharing on here!

My dogs remind me to just be in the moment!!
@wizzlewolf - That was FANTASTIC! Tough to choose a favorite. I loved 'Mental Patient', 'Bitch' and Many, Many More! I made a little film I posted in response to a question here about The Pursuit of Happiness. It fit, like yours fits here. Here's a link to that if you're interested and have about 4 minutes. This is so much fun.

Each of us must excise our own noxious weeds, cultivate our own backyard before expanding our sphere of influence......do we walk our talk? Do our words out distance our deeds?
I did a similar sketchbook project. Mine wasn't so much about street art. It was more of a "self portrait" looking down at my feet. Check it out:

I had my feet up on my desk, looking at all the wonderful accidental art posted here when I discovered a bit of my own: http://twitpic.com/9f8v7 He's been guarding my extra pairs of specs for years now and still makes me grin.

Sorry, what I meant to say was http://twitpic.com/9el0f and http://twitpic.com/9ekzi . I was looking through my pictures and couldn't decide between the two, I also discovered that I have a surprising number of pictures of my feet.
Art at my feet....beautiful wood floor. We pulled the carpet up this week.

So I looked around my desk, and the very sight of this thing - its raw, honest beauty - made me want to curl up in the fetal position in a hot shower and WEEP.

I'm sitting in my flat on a Sunday afternoon contemplating life post-cleaning and note multi-colored garbage bag sitting at my feet. The lighting as well as the pleasure of having all my rubbish away made for a beautiful photograph.
