Once again, I forsake the harsh mid-morning light on the streets of Phoenix for the soft, indirect light of a campus coffee shop. While having refreshments, I used light from a distant window to illuminate the polished toes of a studying student. Using a medium telephoto focal length of about 150mm, I was able to define the tiny red toenails that give the image – and the subject – a sense of character. I include part of a softly focused laptop and some papers in the background for context. How we hold our feet can be as expressive as how we use our hands. The position of these feet, one tucked upon another, express a sense of comfort, relaxation, and informality.
