Bill's Barbershop "A fine cut, Bill"

A brisk, hard week at work. Relaxing for the weekend, I managed to

have the time to get my nearing 'Vinnie Barbarino' hair cut. It had

been a while..since October.. yikes.

 

Bill's Barbershop, a 5 minute walk into town from the house. I got

there a few minutes early to catch up with Bill, and take a few

pictures. It was a beautiful Saturday, and Magnolia Street was glowing

with sun for the first time in weeks since the winter rain and fog

dropped in.

 

I shot through an entire roll of 400tx while waiting. Moments before

I was in the chair, another regular patron rises after his cut,

compliments Bill, and finishes his story about why he likes Mac laptops.

Wish I had a 1/2 stop more in the exposure.

Another winner Joel. Great work again, I really like your work, best wishes, Simon.

I dont know if you meant to do it...but i love how the guy whos had a haircut is stricking a pose very similar to the johnny Cash pictures behind him...genius all the same:)

This is a beautiful document Joel!

 

Its rare to see quality B&W film photography these days. They provide, I find, a way of seeing mundane events and places in a strikingly different manner. This image is a true testimony of a time and place. It shows emotions and one picture himself as part of the room. Thanks for sharing, very masterful,
