My favorite shot from the Eastern State Penitentiary last week. This barber chair was sitting in the middle of one of the cells down one of the cell blocks. It was sort of unclear why this chair was in this cell, if it was added later, or what its purpose would have been. It was particularly strange since normal looking cells were on either side of it. In any case, it makes a rather good picture I think.

Barber shops are having a boom time in Launceston, like tattoo parlours. But The Celtic Barber in Invermay reminds us of the important links between Ireland and Tasmania. Not far from here is a park known as the Caledonian Square.
... or do they call it a hair salon downtown.

A moment frozen in time; he will be forgotten as he blends into all of her customers.
His hair will grow back and he will be at another barber for another hair cut.
I paraphrase Joel Meyerowitz; "As street photographers we tear a piece of time out from the continuum, freeze it and hold onto it."
As Brooks Jensen says; Then a very interesting thing happens. As we look upon such images, their memory of that moment become part of our experience.

The Barber Shop, where you can go, be treated well, meet friends, stay for a while and leave looking better than when you went in. The Urban scene.
In April we paid another visit to the Barber Institute, located on Birmingham University’s campus. Housed in a Grade I Art Deco style building, it was opened in 1939. It was set up by Martha Constance Hattie Barber in memory of her husband Henry Barber, a wealthy Birmingham property developer, who had died in 1927. The Barber Institute of Fine Arts was founded in 1932 and when she died only months later, she left all her money to it. From the start it was decided that it would purchase only the finest works, and this has held true. This is a marble lion's head, made in Italy in the 13th century, and probably the spout for a water fountain.
Three pieces of carving from antiquity, about which not a great deal is known. This is a fragment of a stone relief from 5th century Persepolis, only a few inches high.
These Almshouses were built endowed and dedicated to the poor of THE PARISH OF ST GEORGE RAMSGATE, by the will of Frances Barber for many years a resident in that town, in order to perpetuate the memory of her husband Francis Charles Barber and her only son William Charles Barber
This is the inscription over the grade II listed gateway to the Almshouses but I decided not to include it as it is in a poor condition! You can just see the edge of it right of screen.
It is now run by the Frances Barber trust as a care facility the wiring outside leaves a lot to be desired!
