124/365 Esquire Barbershop
Meet Joe Brown. At 96 years old, Joe is the oldest active licensed barber in the state of Florida. He has been working at the Esquire Barbershop for 23 years now. The Esquire Barbershop is located in Downtown Pensacola on Garden Street and has been there since 1963. A friend of mine and colleague of Joe's recommended I stop by the shop and meet Joe, so I did just that. Mr. Brown was kind enough to let me take his portrait but I had to wait until he finished a couple haircuts. I didn't mind waiting as I was astonished at all of the history that was going on in that barbershop. When it was my turn with Joe a client walked in so I only got a couple shots. First one was overexposed so I made my adjustments and this was the second one. I am going to make some prints and drop them off for him.
