Yes Jan, at least a second shot to show a detail about his hands sharpening
a scissor on the stone wheel spinning, I chose a more general frame, a sort
of "situational" portrait. Anyway,I had time to see different frames
through the viewfinder because he had three scissors to sharp and I could
also take an image with the digital camera, (yes,, one image only because I
recalled about the digital camera when he was ending the work and he was in
a hurry).- Thank you Jan.-

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.-
