After looking at the NPR profile story yesterday, I decided to check out another one. This paticular story was about a man named Willie Rivera. Rivera is 91 and owns his own shoe shop called Willie's Shoe Service.
The lede started out with an anecdote mentioning that Rivera made shoes for the role of Moses in the movie The Ten Commandments. The writer then says that is how Rivera began his lifelong reputation of creating incredible shoes.
One thing that this article lacked compared to the one read in class yesterday about the set designer is outside perspectives and opinions. There's quotes from a man who apprenticed for Rivera, but he does not really comment on Rivera, just the fact that he worked for him and more so promoted his own work within Rivera's shop.
I feel like the profile on Rivera went from him to more so on Rivera's shop itself.
