Revenues from the BHE-cart at BAREFOOT NUDITY have been extremely disappointing, in spite of the vids being of a quality which you can only dream about in vids sold through the average clips4sale shop, and also cheaper than those..
As making high quality vids requires significant effort from both me and the models, and as editing and uploading them to the cart is a great pain in the ass, given the disappointing sales in a market segment which has far greater potential than the "clothed barefooting" one, I have no plans to start a BHE-cart also at BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS, also considering the clear lead which City Feet and Toes-In-Action online video shops have gained.

I'd like to point out that the title of this thread is "Everyone post a pic of your Wife/GF/Friend".

I'm very sorry that you're losing sales. But you're correct, that's not my problem. However, the problem likely has to do with the way you're marketing your product, the quality of your concepts, and the way you're positioning your brand. At the moment the "Feetosopher" brand now represents for me a photographer who is afraid of change and erroneously thinks that whining, insulting, and threatening moderator action is going to solve all his problems.

In case you haven't noticed, despite the occasional cell-phone picture, I own and know how to use a real camera. That is because I am a professional photographer. In real life. I have no shortage of women who would go barefoot for me, naked, in public places. I have more than a few who would eagerly perform sexual acts for the camera. I can also afford to publish them for free. This isn't my interest, however, so you are free to pursue your interests.

I think part of your problem isn't with my barefoot partner, but with the fact that most porn out there has barefoot women. Most nude photos, by definition, include bare feet. In fact, a search of "footjob", "footfucking", "toe sucking", and "bastinado" will return tons of results of stuff that is at least, if not much more, interesting as yours.

Also, we are not selling a fantasy, but portraying a slice of real life. DiminishedHarmony doesn't just take her shoes off for the camera or when her feet hurt. She goes barefoot all the time. Everywhere. She doesn't even own a single pair of shoes. Not even for emergencies.

I'm sorry for being a bit irritated with you, but you're shaming yourself. Please take a step back, take a couple of deep breaths, and attempt to regain your dignity and my respect.

Sincerely (and best of luck),

Altered Dominant

C'mon dude.. you've been here for TWO WEEKS, you posted a handful of pics of a cute but rather ordinary chubby girl with bare feet, and you seriously think that THE FEETOSOPHER will really put maximum effort in an "attempt to regain (his) dignity and YOUR respect"???? Don't you think that you are getting a bit arrogant???
I encourage the forum members to assess WHO is making a fool of himself here.. and who has put this exchange of views on a TRULY PERSONAL side.
From now on I will simply IGNORE YOU AND YOUR POSTS.. enjoy your reign on the forum!!!

She's anything but ordinary, and the huge spike in unique views on our blog prove that hundreds of people agree with me.

Best of luck with your waning career as an old-school pornographer.

I'd like to apologize to the members of this forum for a truly unnecessary exchange in an inappropriate area. I don't take well to being bullied or manipulated, nor do I appreciate potentially hurtful comments about someone very dear to me.

If there are those of you who are interested in what Diminished Harmony and I are sharing, I'd love to hear from you.

Yeah, let's drop all the hurtful comments so that we would enjoy it much better.

Sure Sure Sure, Diminished Harmony is one of the reasons making me post occasional comments here (again, not too much into simply barefooting, though I purchased several sets/clips of that and I really even liked, I love the most TLC and Worship, reason I am more active in another board where there is a section for this type), Sure Sure Sure, the most interested in what she and you are sharing (the blog is neat though I wish the linking of the original pics too, she is super delicious with super delicious feet especially being barefoot and more especially that she interacts with us, even if it would only be a tiny handful of sets/clips I would order if offered in a pay site someday, I would ask for some).

I'm pretty sure this experience has put her off interacting with this community. Hopefully, she'll agree to keep updating the blog, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

It's sad how one guy's insensitive rants can ruin things for everyone.

Sadly feetsopher turning this board into a permenent advert for his pornographic filth is the reason my wife wont allow me to post her pics here anymore. The man is not a balnced individual, you can see that in his posts. Ignore him and perhsps just focus on the blog??

My wife and I both really enjoy your blog.

What one may believe is "pornographic filth" may appeal to others. If it does not please you, ignore and pass by it. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and these should be respected.
The images and videos offered by the various parties are in a narrow-casted field. In order to attract more customers and increase revenue a wider net can be cast which can include variations not appealing to everyone. It all boils down to business. If I am a world renowned steak chef I would not feel welcomed in a vegan restaurant. The quality of my product may be excellent but not acceptable in that venue.
I respect the work, effort and offerings of the various parties even though not all of them appeal to me. If we can all adopt this attitude we can have a more positive outlook and attract, not turn away other participants.

Many thanks for your appreciation and the kind words, sir!
It's always great to meet friendly chaps out there who believe in freedom of expression!
If you don't like my presence on the forum, you should ask Paul or the admins to kick me out of here: I am sure that most forum members will be enthusiastic to enjoy the pics of your wife instead of my "pornographic filth".
Bring my kindest regards to your lady!

Dear friend, I fully agree with you.. but unfortunately the "live and let live" philosophy has fewer and fewer supporters.
If one takes the time to read ALL my posts in this thread, I am pretty sure that he/she will see that I made no personal attack to the "AlteredDominant" / "DiminishedHarmony" duo.
I made only general remarks about the "Do-It-Yourself" vs. "Commercial" barefootography issue.. I hope that I still have the right to express my views here, just like any other forum member.
I even had kind words for the pics and the lady.
It's only after a virulent, personal attack by AlteredDominant, that I reacted.
As long as Paul and the admins allow me to do so, I will keep on advertising my DULY CENSORED "pornographic filth" in the forum.. to the scorn of people like AlteredDominant, DiminishedHarmony, Bemused etc. who simply do not accept that there may be other guys & gals who have different tastes than theirs.
I still want to believe that pathetic gestures like AlteredDominant's "systematic bumping" of all posts in the forum to shift my own ones towards the bottom, will be judged by any person of average intelligence as just another example of "troll-style marketing" for his blog.

Looks like things have gotten hostile on this thread.

It's a shame if Diminished Harmony won't be participating here anymore, but if the Feetosopher's relatively mild criticisms were enough to upset her, then it wouldn't have lasted long, anyway. Sooner or later, somebody would have said something similar (or worse), and that would be the end of it.

I've been around the internet long enough to see a lot of barefoot girls come and go, but guys like the Feetosopher have been around contributing to the community for years. He's one of the best in the world at this little niche. Calling his work "pornographic filth" is unfair. Sure, he tries to make some money from it, but it's a passion for him. There's nothing cynical in his work. Feetosopher may be more edgy than Paul, but let's not kid ourselves about why the City Feet website and this forum exist.

The Feetosopher is a friend of mine, and has been for a long time, but I have no ill will toward any one who may dislike him. I hope Diminished Harmony will stick around here, but if she doesn't, then I wish her all the best with her blog and her future real life barefooting, and I mean that with all sincerity.

Dear friend, many thanks indeed for your kind words.
We have indeed made friends since day one of my now-defunct page on MySpace.. it was back in 2007!
I have always admired your equilibrium, your open-mindedness and your respect for other people's freedom. I know well that you are not into the "nude/edgy" side of my projects.. yet you NEVER ceased to appreciate me as a person, and to support my projects.
Your post may help the newer forum members to understand better who I am, and what I have made for the acceptance of female barefoot lifestyle in these 8 years. And also that I made it out of passion: contrary to BAREFOOT NUDITY, which manages to make moderate profits, I am actually LOSING MONEY with BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS.
I am the first to be upset that things have gone hostile in this thread.. but sure I wasn't the one who attacked first.
I am pretty sure that AlteredDominant and DiminishedHarmony will not quit posting here.. this dispute has given great visibility to them.. the guy and the gal are deffo smart at this..
Take care, all the best from sunny Italy!

feetosopher, I enjoyed your work for some time but I was enjoying this thread and you are ruining it. Why insult a woman and others on here who don't agree with you? When you don't get attention you use made up accounts to reply yo your own posts or attack this lady. I also noticed you said in a post that City Feet used porn stars and not real barefooters. Why insult City feet too? You said that out of jealous because ou said afterwards that all your models are 24/7 barefoot. Not true. I love ciy feet.

I am completely appalled by the behavior of some people in this thread. The thread invited people to share photos from their lives, of people who are close to them emotionally. It should be a given that there is no place for judgement in a thread like this. In the very least, "if you don't like something, don't say anything at all" should apply. Everyone likes different things and in this context, all judgement does is show extreme disrespect and make people feel understandably unsafe sharing. (and isn't the point of a board to share?)

I just want to express my gratitude to those who have shared and point out that a considerate use of this thread should NOT involve any competition.
