The shoe shiner

This picture was taken as a local cobbler was polishing someone's old shoe. Old shoe is something that we all cherish as it has been with us for a while in good times and bumpy rides. Its easy to get a new shoe and toss the old one, but then we toss out the artifact which carries precious memories, the moments we stepped through.
Also its wise to conserve and use the old things in this economic recession to help ourselves and the nation to catch up with the pace. You could say that this would be an unspoken responsibility, but something that comes from the moral inside.
