You are definitely the master of photographing beauty. This love affair that you are having with Greece, I look at with envy, for it is exactly that that my life needs at the moment. Too long without a Greek adventure, or any for that matter.
The traditional boots were beautiful and I have always admired that kind of handcrafted footwear, but, boots? I have only watched BUCK boots being made, a hand welted method. The boots this gentleman is making will probably last for years, sometimes decades. I am sad that the art is going to be lost. You got such a great shot of him. :))
The knives are stunning! Such a piece of art, all crafted meticulously! I haven't seen anything like that ever. The blades look hand-forged and even have a decorative edge of them. You did not disappoint with the photographs.
I was very good friends with a tailor in Italy. The work was incredible, something that you pay dearly for, or never see, so I loved seeing this workshop where he made the marionettes. It was a wonderful trip, even for me. The lights from the harbor, the lighthouse and all the surrounding buildings helped capture the essence of it. I appreciate you taking the time and putting it all together! Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see so many participating every week. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for it. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Anyone reading this can learn how to be a part!
Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:
