The Craft of Traditional Shoe Cobbling
-A cultural preservation project-
 

The craft of shoe cobbling are slowly forgotten in the busy city of Singapore.
This series of photos capture the essence of traditional shoe cobblers in Singapore.
 
This is Uncle Lee situated in the busy junction of Waterloo Street. He learned the skills of shoe cobbling at the age of 10, when he followed his Dad out to work. He is 71 years old currently. 
 
"Be sincere in whatever you do, and you will be happy and contented."
