Great shot, Carlos!
I love how you made full use of the square format and how the unusual geometry
of the bicycle is sort of repeated in the iron gate in the background. Nice
work!
I bet this was a situation where you wished you had a second shot in the
camera… ;-)

The same camera that took the portrait with bulb flash 60 years ago and I
posted last week , took this image yesterday. I asked to the knives sharpener
if I could take him a photograph and he answered me "no problem", he was used
to be photographed and filmed. He told me he is 75 years old, his family came
from Galicia, Spain and his grandfather and his father were knives sharpeners
too.; he also told me only six knives sharpener are still active in the
country, one of them he in my city.
He suddenly appeared on the street on his bicycle playing the harmonica to
announce his presence; I had the 2,8C loaded with a Wephota 100 film sheet in
the Rollei plate adapter ready to shoot, however thinking about a different
shot, but this was a rare opportunity:

PS: The developing time was longer than usual for this shot, I feared an
underexposure for some areas in the image.-
