So here I was in Grapevine, Tx about to pay rent. Come to find out I beat my landlord to his shop by a full hour. So I drove around the corner and ran smack dab into downtown. I grabbed my camera and started snapping pics.
During my journey I walk up to a blacksmith shop. Much to my surprise I could smell burning metal, someone is working!!! I thought to myself. I step in and a grim older man looks up at me and says hi. I spoke to him for a moment and much to my surprise he agreed to let me shoot some photos.
After the initial shock of a total stranger with a camera wore off. He began to tell me his life story and how he got into blacksmithing. Will was an awesome guy who loves his shop being photographed. For 20 min I forgot why I even came to grapevine. He opened up so much that he told me to walk around the shop and take whatever photos I wanted. All in all this was one of the funnest photoshoots yet! Will this blogs for you!!!
