grounded

Whenever I gather with friends or family... I will reach for my camera, (more often enough it’s my iphone...) and photograph us together, feet on the ground.

I love how it tells the story of who is with me and where are are standing...

I know plenty of you out there do the same, I’d love to see your "grounded gathered together" shots, and if you’ve never done one before... why don’t you try one next time you’re gathered with your loved ones.

my sisters and I we live apart but last year we had a precious day we were all together at the same place. I have a photograph to remind it: http://www.anasofiaeugenio.com/2011/09/sisterhood-and-sadness.html

I love this! My favorite photo is one with my sister when we were on the Oregon coast.

I like this idea. :) I'm a hermit. I don't have any photos like that. I'm still trying to figure out how "gather" fits in my life. Enjoying everyone else's photos today!

Gotta admit, I never thought of taking picture of feet, but it seems the few times I have weird guys seem to leave bunches of comments on them!
I love these shots! My boyfriend and I take photos of our feet when we're travelling. Here's a hiking boot shot:

This is a picture from me and my family at the II World War Memorial in Washington, DC. We walked around for hours and were happy to cool our feet!
