Aaron is not one with many words, however, his facial expression says a thousand. He takes pride in his work and appreciates all Mr. Thompson has done for him. Aaron takes a long look at himself and his client in the mirror knowing the importance of what he does everyday. Being a barber isn't just about cutting hair, it's also about the relationships made throughout each appointment.

No really... they should...
Another quick one here.. just having a quick half with the missus before she heads out to see "Mamma Mia"
(You'll excuse me if I pass it by...)
bear with me here.
this project, if about anything, is self reflection. and when self-reflecting, one sometimes finds aspects of one's self that one is not especially proud of.
one of those aspects for me is the green eyed monster: jealousy. i must admit, i am often jealous of the attention some people's photostream gets compared to mine.
when i think about it, the rational part of me knows that frankly, many of the photographers simply take better pictures than me. some, may simply "work" flickr better - tagging photos better, submitting to groups etc....
and ultimately, it makes me question why i take pictures - or maybe better put, why i want to share them - online and otherwise. i *think* i would say i don't do it for praise, but because it is fulfilling on another level.
but yet, despite all of the rational reasons, i *still* feel it. makes me want to give up sometimes - not bother.
i can imagine all the eye rolling going on by anyone reading this. well, my hope is by acknowledging these feelings like one would acknowledge an unwelcome house guest i can get past them, and back to why i take photos.
My old AE-1...Just recently dug it out of the basement, put a new battery in, and loaded up a roll of B&W...
This photo was taken somewhere unknown...in the backcountry of BC.
We went to a downtown restaurant and there was a mirror building across the street. I couldn't resist.
or: Playing With Myself... lol
Lighting for big me:
sb-28 shot into the lamp from the table just barely off frame camera left with a flag to keep light off me. sb-28 with a short snoot from around head-height camera left, sb-28 with a long snoot coming in flat at my hand from camera right.
Lighting for little me:
sb-28 up high with a long snoot for my arms and torso, sb-28 in an umbrella for my jeans.
triggered with ctr-301s.
Photo captured alongside U.S. Highway 101, the Redwood Highway, in the town of Orick. Humboldt County. Late September 2013.
I went downtown to shoot by the waterfront with a few photos in mind: a reflection, a fisheye and a stranger. I got some nice reflections in the Distillery District.
While attempting (and failing) to sleep, I took pictures of myself. I thought this one turned out a bit (accidentally) nifty.
Is it a bad sign that I have no idea what the brown object in this photo is, nor what the reflective surface is? There's just so much crap on my bed. I think the reflective surface is a DVD-R that failed to burn properly, but one can never be sure.
In a dusky alley in Hong Kong, neon lights flickered like distant stars. Mei Lin wandered, lost in thought, her heart a canvas stretched taut with yearning. Vivid hues of a mural danced along the brick walls. Each stroke was a memory of splendour and struggle, a rendition of the human spirit in an eternal quest for meaning.
