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.
>>>I strongly recommend you view this large & on black

“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.
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.

A small, abandoned barbershop with its "OPEN" sign visible in the door sits beside a payphone on a quiet street. The building has a cracked exterior, and the window displays barber poles.

Towards the south-east corner, within the Char Bagh, lies a tomb known as Nai-ka-Gumbad, or Barber's Tomb, belonging to royal barber, it is datable to 1590-91 CE, through an inscription found inside. Its proximity to the main tomb and the fact that it is the only other structure within the main tomb complex suggests its importance, however, there are no inscriptions suggesting as to who is interred therein, the name Barbers tomb is the local name of the structure, hence still in use.
The tomb stands on a raised platform, reached by seven steps from the south, it has a square plan and consists of a single compartment covered with a double-dome. Inside lie two graves each inscribed with verses from the Quran. Also, one of the graves is inscribed with figure 999 which may stand for the Hijra year 1590–91. However, in an 1820 watercolour now at British Library, the Persian caption beneath the structure reads, Maqbarah-i-Kokah i.e. "Tomb of Kaka", and Kokah or Kaka in Persian stand for foster-brother (mirak brother), Mirak (a Persian title as sir) though the identity of the person remains unknown, and it might be (incorrectly) referring to another nearby monument in the Chausath Khamba complex, the tomb of Ataga Khan, the foster brother of Humayun, which lies in Nizamuddin West area and not to the east of the Humayun's tomb.

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.
... or do they call it a hair salon downtown.
... two most beautiful profiles
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.

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.
