I came across this photograph by the late American artist, Paul Strand this afternoon and it felt so beautifully familiar. Shot in Nafplio, a seaport town in the Peloponnese, “the broom shop” reminds me of the many small and charming European shops that sell everything from light bulbs and umbrellas to cigarettes, shoes and house plants. I love those shops. And I love that they still exist in an sea of specialized retailers.
