    @ Jeff, will tell the history of photography.
    As usual go on the Christmas holidays the city of Inhambane.
    On one day one of my sandals broke.
    Found this on a cobbler's building from the1800 to pursue his profession.
    While my sandal repaired this gentleman appeared to surrender their shoes for a small change.
    While I waited I took a series of photographs in which I felt privileged to be in this place and know that person by the way, is named is Merry.
    Have a beautiful day in peace.

    Is shoe making a trade for young people?
    Or is it that we don't see proteges because they're training.

    *never a seen a young shoe maker.

    Textured shot. Textured story. I love artisans who work with their hands. Its a lost art in today's world where everything is disposable.

    i find photographing people extremely challenging, yet your people images come across so naturally and effortlessly. care to share some tips palapala?

    @Thembalezwe,i Do not think i have something particular in photographing people. I let my instincts take me for who I am taking without disturbing the person.
    A point and shot, like the Canon S95 or Panasonic LX5 cameras, are small and of good quality in which you can shoot without people noticing a lot .
    I think we all like to have an SLR, but also a shot and point is more practical and casual
    To use on the every day bases.
    I am not technician in photography or cameras, but a lover of photography.
    I hope I have explained in a way you understand.
    Have a nice day.
