post a commentlovely shots.
I appreciate the fact that you see things that most people walk past.
great black/whites. it is all in the details.
there is a quality in these that remind me of Manuel Alvarez Bravo's work. Really great textures. and the hands are amazing.
Gerat shots, but unfortunately, your pictures keep getting smaller and smaller.
Maybe it's a problem of your blog-provider, but I just wonder how other people like facehunter are able to provider bigger images while they are on the same server?
Anyways, keep up the good work.
Wonderful eye, Sart. As a woman who wears a 10AA and loves her shoes, I try to make mine last (I guess that's a pun) as long as possible. I have always been on a first-name basis with the cobblers in the cities where I have lived. I am old enough (53) that I notice worn-down heels and wonder why other people think that doesn't matter. Did anyone notice a recent photograph of Senator Elizabeth Dole in the NYT? Her shoes were a mess! I will refrain from any political commentary. I trust that you are enjoying your vacation.
Your eye is at it again, fanTAStic. I love the 4-c black and white effect . . . so rich.
Traditional cobblers are sadly a dying trade even in Asia.
A cobbler related issue.
Recently had a pair of Tod's driving mocs purchased for me as a gift - soft sole, black nubs. Lasted about two weeks before the bottoms were destroyed, anyone attempt to reconstrcut these?
My cobbler rebuilt the entire foundation from the inside out and the sole is now a solid piece of vibram. Incredibly sturdy and more comfortable than before, unfortunatly not as sleek or attractive - leaning more on the orthodic side.
Any thoughts?
They are so different from your usual shots, but I really like them - especially the middle shot highlighting the hands.
Glad the holiday still allows for some creativity.
(By the way, the photos seem an OK size to me.)
most of us refuse to work this hard, perhaps we should rethink our daily plight
Another voice praising the strong, unpretentious, eloquent hands. They're worth 10,000 words.
I walk by this guy all the time. These photos made me teary...
Look at his hands! They have carved many human steps!
definitely my shoe repair man. .... I absolutely love your photos and the website as a whole. Inspiring.
Amazing eye, and amazing New York, as always.
I use to love to go into these shops when I was young. My dad loved good hats and shoes. These are unsung craftsmen and artisans. You won't find this in an area with payless shoe stores. Lol.
Look at this old photos, i will think more, that old shoe repairman have a hard life!
The Hands! The hands This picture speaks volumes Wonderful! Thank-you!
