Hands, Feet, & Boompsadaisy?

photograph by Rob Hanson
Supple leather bends
beneath the boot-maker's hands.
Feet enjoy comfort.

Thanks to One Shoot Sunday Challenge  which features the work of Rob Hanson today.


And over on Napple Notes, is another post, of a childhood memory it brought to mind, and for a triple whammy, here's a Sunday 160 character offering for Monkey Man.

A higgledy-piggledy workshop is a must. How else can creation work hand in hand with inspiration? Fingers use materials close by, when brain births a new idea.

    The haiku of making a shoe - you tightly wrap the words around the essence of the photo. Good poem.

    Nothing uncomfortable could ever come out of that shop, could it? I found this photo strange because the man's arms seem to disappear--I need to remember to enlarge! ;_)
