1. Shoe gazing is when people points their camera down towards their feet and snaps photos for several reasons such as self-portraiture paired with anonymity, style and a sense of place.

2. Yes I have participated in shoe gazing. I participated in this when I got my first pair of 3's (jordans). They were $175 and I got them the day they were released from footlocker. I pointed my camera at my feet and took a photo with the shoes on for memories and also for Facebook and Twitter. The shoe gazing was caused because the Jordans became a part of my new style and needed to be remembered. I do that for every pair of jordans I get now.

3. I do believe there are certain attributes that are considered "the beautiful norm". Teenage girls with tattos and piercings are considered attractive to teenage boys. Alot of girls get the tats and piercings because they believe it makes them appear more beautiful phyiscally.

4. I find my personality to be beautiful. This is because my personality stands out from others. Alot of people can have the same appearance physically but personality is what sepearates you from others. I believe my personality makes it easy for me to get along with others. Having a good personality can make you the most beautiful person ever.
