Barber Shop
Camera: Nikon F90X
Film: Kodak Ultramax 400

“Barber shops are pretty much the same the world over.”
With this statement Geoff Dyer analyses the way photographs of barber shops have recurred throughout the history of photography. Dyer does this for many subjects in his rollicking survey, “The Ongoing Moment” (Vintage Books, 2007). I suppose their attraction to photographers has been the fact they are places of communion, where genuine conversation can be had with plenty of light reading matter at hand. And then of course there is the colour.
Here the colour of this Kodak Ultramax 400 film is restrained.
