I’ve been taking photos of my feet for at least five years now; it started as a fun little thing I did once in a while and has now grown to a full-on compulsion. I collect photos of my feet like other might collect cheap keychains or magnets.
Do you collect certain kinds of photos?

Jumping shots are a common occurrence during my travels.

That jelly fish is huge!

I like to take pictures of my feet too! I think it stems from my love of shoes, but it’s also such a wonderful way to document the ‘I Was Here’ moment and feeling. I also like taking pictures of my shadow.

Oh, the shadow is a good one! I have no idea why I started taking photos of my feet…

I accidentally started collecting shoe shots of my husband and I. I’m thinking of making a gallery wall of them. (I even made sure we got shoe photos taken on our wedding day!)

Cara-Mia – That is so cute! I’ve definitely seen some of them on your blogs and they are adorable.

Amie – That is an amazing idea! I see that all the time but I never thought to start documenting it…

Kristina – Thank you very much! I sometimes forget, too…

Christine April 5, 2012 - 8:20 pm

I just started doing this mostly because I have a pretty new pair of jeweled flats–wish I would have started earlier, I love this collection of photos!

About Me

Hi, I'm Brenna

My name is Brenna Holeman and I drink a lot of whisky. No, wait. That’s not how I want to start. After travelling to more than 100 countries over the past 15 years, many of them solo, I tend to write about travel a lot, but I write about other things, too: getting dumped, buying way too much jewellery, and yeah, OK, whisky (none of those things are related, I swear). You’ll find a mix of advice, opinion pieces, and stories on this blog, but either way, I hope to make you want to read more. And up next? I'm about to become a single mom to a beautiful baby boy, the biggest solo adventure I've ever been on. For more about me and what you'll find on This Battered Suitcase, click here .

INSPIRATION

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac

About Brenna

This Battered Suitcase is not only about the where and the how of travel, it's about the who and the why.

Originally from Canada, all I've ever wanted to do is travel. After eleven years of solo travel and over 90 countries, I'm currently living in London and fulfilling my other dream of becoming a writer. If I'm not travelling, I'm writing about it, either for my blog, my job, or my book. I firmly believe there is adventure everywhere, so long as you keep your eyes (and your mind, and your heart) open. Join me as I continue to look for these adventures. Hopefully you'll find your own, too.
