At the barber late afternoon

Waiting got too much for the kid. While his farther got a haircut, he

fell asleep in the chair. It was an old traditional barbershop with a

cross and a picture of Kennedy on the wall.

.I read your return comment on your picture which sent me searching for the barbershop picture you referred. I guess this is it. It's a real beauty, Sven. I don't know about Sweden but in America and Japan the independent, corner barber is rapidly becoming an endangered species. I was just remarking to my friend today that I'd like to do a series on the one-man barbershops of Osaka before they're all run out of business by trendy and pricey hair emporiums.

Thanks for your comment Jack. It's pretty much the same here. This was taken in Livigno (Italy) A small secluded ski resort. Circumstances kept me off the mountain and i went looking for a barber. The first 3 places i found was big tourist based saloons - but then i found this. The only all year barber in the town.

Your project sounds like a worth while one. Good luck. And yes - this was inspired by your images. My cell phone camera works wonders her - logging a big camera around makes me somehow self conscious. So - I found a way to get closer to your street style.
