So, what’s the deal with the sneaker collection (Seinfeld Voice)? Right around 2008, I’d just lost a lot of weight and was in need of an entirely new wardrobe. I was in the process of buying newer, smaller clothes and the time came for a new pair of shoes. Rather than pick some ordinary pair like I normally would, I opted for a more interesting and unique looking pair. The response from others was so strong and positive that I decided to look more into the different kinds of cool sneakers and discovered that collecting sneakers is similar to collecting comics, baseball cards, or any other of the numerous hobbies I had when I was a kid! I’ve been into sneakers ever since – to the extent that I even got an article written about me in the paper! I’ve also been collector of the month in Solecollector Magazine (issue #47)!
I built up a lot of my collection looking for deals on slept-on pairs! I also post deals I find on this very site when I have time.
As for the photography aspect, check out any Sneaker related websites (there are many), and you will typically find posts filled with awesome, artsy footwear shots. I like learning about cameras and taking interesting shots, and it turns out there are actually sites online where you can get recognized for both your collection and photography skills at the same time! You can check out some of my most recent shots below. If you’re curious, I currently shoot with a Nikon D3100 (Amazon link) and mostly use a 50mm lens.
My eBay account is where I list my current sneakers available for sale (if I happen to be selling any).
Here are some quick links to different categories of sneakers:

The Nike Air DT Max 96 is the third installment in Deion Sanders’ line of Nike kicks, originally releasing in 1996 (the DT stands for “Diamond Turf”). These have been retro’d a few times now although I believe the Varsity Red colorway is the newest.

I went HAM on Command Force retros – I figure its best to grab them now, rather that wait another 20+ years for retros. David Robinson helped popularize the shoe in the early 90s – so here we have the Nike Air Command Force Spurs, with colors based off of The Admiral’s team colors.

The Nike Air Diamond Fury is a baseball trainer that Ken Griffey, Jr along with several other players wore in 1995. While Griffey would eventually get his own line of shoes, he already had some special detailing on his pair of Diamond Fury with a 24 on the upper near the outside of the ankle and a “JR” logo on the tongue.
