Stig Nordén repairs bicycles in Vendelsö. I noticed a big hand made sign advertising his repair shop earlier in the week and decided to check it out. He has had the business for 26 years. I didn't ask about his age, but he told me that he worked as a bus conductor back in the early 1950s. Stig seems to be a great guy. He started telling me stories from that time while selling me a bike tire and fixing a bike in the shop. One of his hobbies includes painting, and some of the art he has made was hanging on the walls in the tiny shop.
With the amount of bicycle riding that you do, he will be a good person to know.
ReplyDeleteThe Stig from top gear? Perhaps not but I do like the way you have taken his portrait.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent portrait of a kind of guy always harder to find!
ReplyDeleteFlott at du har fått fotografert sykkelmannen i sitt rette miljø. Og komposisjonen i bildet er som vanlig svært god.
ReplyDeleteGOD HELG!
Super portrait!
ReplyDeleteVery good picture, my father in law also has a bicycle workshop.
