[Leica] Old Shoemaker Shop

[Gerry Walden]

The choice of film for these images surprises me but then I am guessing that, being an art studio, they had good top light from roof windows.

The M3 has always been one of my favourite cameras for its mechanical simplicity and robust build. I got rid of mine when it went for a swim in the sea (with me attached!) on a trip to America. It carried on working and I remember rinsing it under the tap and drying it out in the hotel room. It was the only camera I had with me. Happy days!
