Neat group of images. I was beginning to think that photography wasn't
allowed in this group.





Thanks for the comment.

After visiting the blacksmith yesterday, I knew I had a winner.

My wife did her own photo-shoot as she is going to do a painting from
the images. Whenever she does a photo-shoot for a paining, I come along
and do my own.

One day, I might even do a "behind the scenes" show based on my tagging
along.

Well you have posted images of a variety of people. Hope he didn't forge
your signature. :-)




At least when I make a typo it's usually a funny one.

I don't think there's a blacksmith in this area. Farriers, yes, and
I've photographed several. Checking, I see the nearest blacksmith to
Orlando is up in Ocala. Much of the work done by a blacksmith would
be done in a welding shop here.

We have a third generation blacksmith in the Paso Robles area, and several
farriers. These days only a handful of farriers run their own forges and use
commercial mass produced shoes. We have at least two farriers around here who
have a mobile trailer mounted workshop and forge.

Also, not every blacksmith can be considered a farrier these days.

My friend does quite a bit of wrought iron work and sometimes gets
called to help out with building restorations.

I should ask him if he ever does any "traditional" blacksmith work such
as horseshoes...I bet not

What camera did you use? I felt that many of the photos could use some extended
data from the dynamic range, to bring out some details from shadows/highlights.

If you've ever been to Puerto Rico or Cuba, as I have (both), every
window and almost every door on almost every house has a wrought iron
covering. Like burglar bars, but done decoratively.

The custom has spread to Florida, and ironwork is common on houses in
the Hispanic areas. Ironwork, pastel-colored houses, and grottos in
the yard. Not as many here as in South Florida or Tampa, but - still
- a lot.

It's welders, not blacksmiths, that create this ironwork here but I
guess they use a forge to bend the ironwork.


Ture, but if you go a bit South to West Palm, you will find that
black****ming is a good business. (That's horse country.)




One day I'll have to do a photo series on these neighborhoods. I'll
probably be able to include some tricked out cars, too.

I'm in the middle of such a series in Sanannah. In the early days that
city imposed a tax on doors, so the used wide elaborate windows on the
upper floors for entrance to balconies.

One of my favorite typos, and a common one, is: "doe snot," for "does not."

Farriers, not blacksmiths, shoe horses. The polo set in WPB is not
going to use anything but a specialist.


Of course. But blacksmiths make the shoes. I am not certain whether its
mechanized shoe making, or custom. IIRC there is also a blacksmith shop
in that area that makes custom iron gateways, & furniture.
