Childs Workboots.

by tommyt

Child"s Work-boots from the 1920"s, shown alongside a £1 coin and two new pennies. The boots are in almost brand new condition, apart from a small scuff on one of the toe-caps. Many thanks to Ken-the-Cobbler for the loan of the boots, to whom i am very thankful...The lens used was the manual M42 screw-fit, Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm F2.4.

Nicely done Tommy - lovely low end tonal range. Maybe a couple of old half-pennies and a sixpence would have been a little more "period"? But still a cracking shot!

Uncompromising and makes one compare present and past.
The studded soles makes harsh the reality.
Great storytelling Tommyt.

I like the Train picture...

BUT... for me, this shoiuld be POTW. The subject is eye catching and beautifully light. A fantastic still life image!

A few old coppers would certainly have added to the story telling, which succeeds admirably as it is. I wonder how many coppers he got for his week?
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks for your kind comments Spad but David"s steam train photo is certainly deserving of POTW in mine and other members opinions. .Tommyt.
