Chicago Store front

This is only a small portion of a massive store front on Magnificent

Mile in Chicago. I wanted the viewer to see the detail, so I opted to

just feature this center portion. Interesting bit of history with all

of the old sewing machine manufacturers, many of them now long gone.

Seven all the way@

Best regards Christal!

Christal,

Nice well centred and well framed shot! it is interesting and original for a small portion of a massive exhibit. Good marketing for clothings and Jeans in particular.  Perhaps the same type of store having a branch in Portobello Road, London uk, with exactly same type of decoration with hundreds of old sewing machines, same structures same brick wall. Anyway I like your photograph, it's well taken and very arty.  Regards, Bachir

Fantastic composition, the lines and layout are perfect.  So, which of these machines did you grow up with? ;-)  Actually, my Mom had an old Singer much like the one at top left and now my daughter has it.  This brings back memories....  Mike

Pierre.....Gee, I don't get too many 7's.  :-)  Thanks!

Bachir.....glad you like this.  Yes, in fact, I think they do have a shop in London, although like everyone else, it may be going online now.  I love seeing 'new faces', so I'll be getting over to check on your work soon.  Thanks!

Mike....Gee...thanks!  I love it too.  I'd love to make a poster of this and put it in a craft room......if I only had a craft room.  ;-)  My mom had a Singer too.....had it for years.....they don't make them like that anymore.

I love this image, I have an old Singer that was my Mom's - It was really the main thing I wanted passed down to me. My Dad also sews on an old treedle, mainly Leather - he makes camera cases, don't know how he thinks 3D 'on the fly' but does some beautiful work.

Gail.....you must have one of your dad's camera cases, I presume.  How cool is that?  You have such a talented family!!!  I can see where you get your creativity!  Thanks for commenting on this!

Who didn't have a Singer during those times? Surely this deserves to be hanged in a craft room. Beautiful.

I have a craft room of sorts now, but we'll soon be moving and I won't have one there.  So when we move I think I'm going to hang this in the laundry room to cover an electrical panel box.  Thanks for your visit....good to hear from you!
