This old-time barber shop appealed to me....I loved the sign above the

door! I put this 'Yesteryear' effect on it because I thought it was

appropriate. I also liked it in straight B&W. I'd like your thoughts, please!

Thanks!

Leeching, $.25 haircut, old telephone and hot towels, all support Nostalgia, but "Yelp"? ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist but I love the treatment and your eye in finding this shot... Mike

Yeah, maybe I should rename it 'False Advertising' because we all know you can't get a haircut for 25 cents anymore.  :-)  Thanks, Mike!  Hope you all had a good Xmas.

Oh no, don't change because of me.  I think the owner has done an excellent job with his attempt at "Nostalgia" and you've created a vintage postcard.  The modern reference was just humor.  Thanks, we had a blast... Mike

Don't worry....it wasn't only because of your comment.  I originally wanted 'False Advertising' but Norm didn't like.....I did.  So I just changed it.  I'm terrible at coming up with names.....something that you and others (Alf is brilliant at it) are great at.  Also, if I didn't offer some explanation, people wouldn't understand your original comment.  NOT that many people will even see or comment on it anyway. :-)

Ha! I'm old enough to remember when a haircut was under a buck!!  Old sign on top, and a Yelp sign on the door. The time...they are achangin". Marvelous photo. I like the sepia cast to it all. Nice work!

Hey, thanks!  This is in our historic city market downtown.....it's been there a long time.  One day it just struck me how cool the door was.....I had seen it a million times before and never given it a thought.  Maybe I'm starting to 'see' better....who knows! :-)    BTW, thanks for your details about your camera.....helpful!!!  Still haven't made a decision, but we're going to the camera shop tomorrow to touch and feel a couple of super zooms.
