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

Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi. March, 1936.
Tightly cropped from an 8x10 inch nitrate negative by Walker Evans for the Resettlement Administration.
Setup in a nearby town museum. I recommend to view it in original size, at least my German friends may remind some stuff from their childhood :)

A barber on a break getting some fresh air. He seemed like a happy guy, all l did was say "photo" he smiled and l took it. He is near the tower in Shepparton and you can find him down the covered ally.
I got a big smile after taking this shot...went inside and showed them all the picture... and later mailed it on to the barber...

“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.

I can't remember the last time I got a haircut. Need to look into that.

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.

McCormick's Barber Shop, previously Harvey's Progressive Barbershop - 1st and Broad, Richmond VA. The Coca-Cola sign, erected in 1930, has long been a downtown landmark.
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.

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.

After a few days of arthritic agony (I still went to work, days off are for wimps) I decided to take an hour in the fresh air to see if my foot would free up.
In the event I decided to take a stroll around our city’s cemetary as I didn’t feel in the mood for street photography.
Walking through the older parts I came across this pair of tombstones, the dappled sunlight filtering through the overhanging trees lent the scene an air of tranquility.
No sniggering re: the inscriptions…have some respect

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.
