The podiatrist suffered from an obsession to collect feet something close to podophilia, but he was not sexually aroused by feet, he was just fascinated by them.  He had been collecting statues, sculptures, and paintings of feet ever since he saw that movie The French Connection, where Popeye Doyle says, “I’m gonna bust your ass for those three bags, and I’m gonna nail you for pickin your feet in Poughkeepsie!”  The podiatrist knew how bad it was for people to pick their feet and doing that while you are in Poughkeepsie could get you locked up and this was the start of his fixation for wanting to be around feet.  He decided that he would embrace the cold weather by commissioning a snow sculpture of these two giant feet outside of his office.
