The Sewing China Machine Whisperer
Image by mynameisharsha
My dad managed to locate this old man to get our sewing machine repaired/serviced as it was not working as intended.
The man you see in the picture is 85 years old, and he was a school teacher for the better part of it. Make no mistake, he knows everything there is to know about sewing machines. He patiently disassembled the entire sewing machine into its basic components, cleaned each and every one of them, all the while explaining to my dad their functions and roles, and assembled the whole sewing machine again. All this took around 4 hours.
I can only hope to be as intelligent and as active as he is when I’m 85 years old.

“The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
It always interests me how the technology of our world changes yet stays the same.
Take railways – theyre the miracle of transport that built the modern world, they made the US a viable nation, tied it together with metal rails, they enabled the industrial revolution to flourish.
It was trains that carried Conferderate troops to Manassas Junction enabling the Southern Army to concentrate far faster than the Union at the first Bull Run and it was the success of the US Army railway engineers that enable the massive armies of Grant to be fed and moved in the latter years of the war, Railways made World War One possible – with troop movements timetabled to the minute.
And its trains that still provide the life blood of so many countries – India for example and China as well, Russia and many other countries still rely on rail services, and here they carry me too and from work every day.
This is 2 trains crossing paths at South Brisbane Station on a sunday night, time exposure, yellow and red, cropped it with that pole for 2 reasons – 1 because I like it, it gives a sense of age vs modernity and continuity and second because i wnated that womans face looking out in but didnt want to crop too tight..
