This jeweler and his wife are from Estonia and proudly wave an Estonian flag in the window of their shop. On this particular day he was making jewelry in their shop while his wife was selling the finished products outside. I talked with her the most because his German and English were limited. They both moved here a few years ago and like living in Berlin. They work in a very touristy part of town so there are plenty of people walking by their shop. They like making a living designing jewelry because it is something they both like to do and they can do it together.
When I first saw this jeweler in the window I knew it would be an interesting picture because he was inside and I was outside. If I could take this picture again I would have moved a little to the left so his face would have more space between the little statues. I like how you can see the window and the jewelry inside. His hands are divided by the table leg but you can tell that he is working and doing something. I like how he is standing between the two white window frames. Those little statues are a bit of a distraction but I like that they are there because that is exactly how he looks when you walk by his shop.
