Hi Paul. As I can see you are now often doing shootings with girls that are new to barefooting which I also like very much I think thats the reason for just shooting in the city and not outside. But it seems like russian citys or parks often have some gravel paths. So, what about if you do some parts of your city shootings at such locations? It is really interesting how good a barefoot newcomer is on gravel. Some really good others not. But I think exactly this shows her "barefoot personality". What do you think?

I always make gravel shootings when there are a gravel in my field of view. But this occurs not too frequently... Well, I'll continue to make gravel shootings

I fully agree !

The best for me is the very hard gravel/rock path made by Janne and some other girls.
Now the gravel can be made very hot by summer sun,and the path more hard.

Maybe with a brief interview (in english) at the girls,to listen her impression : if she feel
a bit hurt,if not,if she feel some other sensation on her soles....

Paul I thought maybe you know the locations youre shooting at, and maybe know where to find to some gravel so you can arrange it to get there. But, Clipper, like I think, it is much more interesting if it happens "by chance" for a girl,who is not used to it, having to walk on gravel, without her knowing it before. I sometimes see it in the city I live in. We have a huge river here and girls often take off their shoes and walk along the concrete boardwalk or on the grass besides it. But there are a few places the boardwalk leads to a short gravel passage. Just a few meters. So the girls, mostly not used to walk barefoot, wont put on their shoes for that passage instead of just walking over it. And it is really interesting. Some girls just try not to show that it is hard for them (but you see it ), while other girls try to get compassion from everybody being with them in that moment and thus slowing the whole group down.

Does someone else share my observation?

iiyamaxx,yes will be more interesting,but if the girls has very tender soles, there is the risk that ,over sharp gravel,she can get serious hurt (cut for example).

If she has quite used soles,there is no risk.

b. I like the gravel idea. It would be wonderful to see some of the new girls walking barefoot on a building site full of materials, gravel and such things, and / or on an abandoned factory or building, full of debris.

Thanks!

I also agree. To see a barefooter walk on gravel is awsome
As I suggested before, a auto junk would be perfect. Greasy ground, irregular surfaces, gravel and in some places, broken glass.
I found this video on YouTube. To me this is like the standard for clips of girls walking on rocks. She not only does it effortlessly, she's having fun with idea.
Turn up the volume when you watch. You can hear her in the background and the sounds from the gravel, sounds like she walking with hard shoes on.

Good video, she's brave and nice playing that way, but ... not that tough!
That gravel is "thick", so it's not a difficult terrain as gravel is harder and harder when stones are thin, sparse, and a single one can penetrate your foot ... and despite this she has some difficulties.

Look here:

... and think that things have happened so that she has almost quit barefooting because she feels weak in her soles (!!!!!!).

I've met her yesterday after having not seen her for weeks and weeks, and I miss her and her bare feet and soul very much.

Maybe I could convince her to simply stay barefoot for a couple of days in a VERY DIFFICULT place with me and ... a camera, to carry out a video, post it here and let all of you (folks that ... speak from experience, about barefooting!) write in a post what do you think about ... "her weakness"!

Maybe it could convince her to hold on, as even if she feels more vulnerable than before ... she anyway keeps a very rare gift of God in her soles, imho at least.

A hug,

Flowwer



PS: that brief sequence is taken from a long walk in that place, and at 0:04 she's NOT in trouble, she's ...PLAYING, to feel stones in the forefoot.

Clipper, I didnt mean that a girl who is not used to walk barefoot, like some cityfeet girls really are, should walk on sharp gravel with maybe broken glass or such, for instance on a junk yard. I was talking about some gravel paths you find in and around cities or parks. No stuff with risks of injury. What I find more interesting is what a girl does when she went out barefoot and didnt expect having to walk on gravel. But now there's no turning back because the shoes are at home Some girls show that it is difficult for them others try to pretend that they are totally comfortable with the situation.
