Description Albert Kovács is a craftsman from a little village in Transilvania. He has a shop with souvenirs and a little workshop where he makes chessboards out of wood. It's a long and demanding work, lot of time, dedication, lot of details, lots of steps before the chessboard reaches the display shelves.
The sad thing is that people prefer to buy the plastic boards made in China, rather than the traditional ones made by people. This is why it is harder to pass on the craft, maybe one day it will die out.

Îmi place povestea din spatele pozei. E una din puținele poze pe care le-am văzut că au o istorie a lor și nu sunt pur și simplu o captură ...

Legat de compoziție, îmi place focusul și DOF pe care le-ai folosit. De asemenea cred că profilul alb-negru este potrivit pentru acest tip de fotografie.
Deși portretul nu este complet, se potrivește așa pentru că simt subiectul pozei este munca lui.

Felicitări! Aștept următoarele poze!

It was. I never saw such thing in my life, he made us a dozen of pieces just in a few minutes, it was so beautiful and amazing at the same time. I wish I could go and be an apprentice or something

Sajnos a körösfői kézműveseknek a munkáját nagyon megnehezítette a kínai termékek alacsony ára, az emberek inkább azokat veszik, mint a kézzel készített sakktáblákat, pedig...

És nem is drágák. Meg a minőség is más.
