Changed times - # 80/2011


Severley cropped for discretion - and so a little bit grainy: we see how times have changed.  Taken during a recent walk through the City of London, we see an elegant black-suited lady banker pausing to have her shoes polished in the old fachioned way.

  1. Hello from Perth Australia, have just been enjoying your photos. Love the one above, sort of a 'timeless' feel, you capture that in your other images too. Like them a lot!!

  3. I'd pay for someone to clean my shoes.

    Remember putting that white stuff on you Dunlop Volleys?
    No. You wouldn't, would you?
    They're Australian.
    Your Plimsolls?

  5. Ah bravo ! La main gauche du cireur suggère le mouvement. Tout l'attirail nécessaire est présent. Cette chaussure est très féminine, sensuelle, je ne verrais pas sa propriétaire la faire briller dans une machine automatique sur un pallier d'hôtel et la gestuelle de l'homme lui rend vraiment hommage....
