Hans “skomager” from the archives
I am not sure, but it must be back in 1976, I took this picture of Hans “Skomager” (shoemaker). It was one of the first with my new SLR camera, a Minolta SRT.
Hans “skomager” had his workshop in my little village Dunkær on the island Ærø in Denmark. He taught me to take good care of my shoes. He also got very angry if I was too late getting the soles replaces. Then he would tell me off. Otherwise he was a very kind person who I enjoyed sitting and watch and have a talk with. I recently found the below print in one of my many mowing boxes and the good memories came back.
