The Wee Shoes

The Wee Shoes
1851 William Lees, aged 16, becomes apprentice shoemaker. Six feet behind you, is the site of the corner shop, where he proudly works his trade. The wee shoes here, are cast from four little shoes he crafts to evidence his skill as a cobbler. His great, great, great granddaughter treasures the original wee shoes, in her home, in Helensburgh.

The Wee Shoes on the Outdoor Museum website.

WOW!! Joe, this is so cool! I love this picture, and I love the lighting and bokeh so much! Great composition too. The story...it's just super...I feel pulled into this world thinking about it. How nice that these shoes were cast for us to appreciate all these years later. Thank you so much for this transporting presentation! :)

Thank you also for your wonderful comments on my pictures...you sure do make my day. :)

A really fine shot Joe. The light falling on the shoes is just right for displaying the textures and the DoF makes them 'pop out' nicely.

All the best, Doug
