Anyway, it's shoots like this that make me enjoy my job, meeting REAL people working hard for a dollar.
Isauro Barrera works on shoes, jackets, cowboy pants and just about anything that is leather. The little shop up in Pilsen is an organized mess that leaves your shoes looking like new. For under $5 you can go and get your shoes shined and share a good conversation with Isauro, and his little dog who opens the door to the back when he hears the front door open. Too bad he wouldn't let me get a shot of him. I actually wanted to put him in a shoe and take a shot, but no go :( He wasn't having it.
Anyway, we got some interesting shots of his shop and he showed me some really old school sewing machine that he said was given to him by an old little lady he knew.
Next time you are on Halsted and 18th make sure to check out this little gem.
