There's something about this shot that I find very compelling - it's almost surreal. At first it looked like the young man's head was cut off or dismembered in some way, until I looked closer to see that (it appears that he's) having a haircut. The blank expression on the shooter's face, the expression on the young man's face the way he appears to be looking up at the shooter in the mirror, the pile of books (in a barber shop?), all make me ask what's going on, and make me wonder if there's something going on here that I just can't figure out. I like it!! -frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
