The Time Machine from around the corner

in #photography7 years ago

When I found this place and step in I felt like I moved to another​ era​, just like in Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris". First of all, ​I really respect people​ who fix things. They seem​ to be from past times themselves​ because now we don't fix our belongings. We much more prefer​ to buy a new generation​​ and not bother to look for a ​place to fix it or DIY do it yourself. This is kind of my observation, that's what I see thru​ the years around me and so when I cross place like the shop below - the Cobbler shop, I am just so happy to step into that time machine and enjoy.

Let me take you to the beautiful Wrocław, Poland. The vibe in this city is just one of a kind, people are nice and friendly and the culture and art are just unbelievable​there​w, that's probably why Wroclaw has been chosen for "the European capital of culture" in 2016. Anyway, ​ones I just was just walking around Wroclaw and found this cobbler shop. I chat with Edward about his shop, as I learned he inherited the shop from his father and he enjoys​ his time there.

Edward is a lovely person, he has this good energy that you can feel by the way he speaks​ and act. He was very kind to me and let me do photos in his shop. In a meantime​ I noticed this white poster on the wall and I asked Edward about his family. The poster says "All the best wishes in a father's day for you Edward" so I knew he has​ children​. We chat for a while, I said thank you for letting me do all this work here and we said goodbye​. I hope he's doing well.

During the time when I was writing this post, ​I had this idea. If this post will be upvoted all right and if it collects​ over $100 I will visit Edward and I will give him all the money from this post as a payment for modeling. I will make photos​ from this trip as well.

Did I use a wrong term? It should describe a shoemaker. I think cobbler is about right

nice photos! just a personal advise. Personally i would like it better with less photos, unless they are more different from each other... some of them are perfect and others not so much so those not so perfect ones bring the post a little lower...
Still a great post!

You're right. I am not good when it comes to picking. But I’m working on it :) thanks for checking my work!

I love your post you seem to be such a caring person @best.day.ever .all the best to you.

Thank you so much for this kind word dear!
