Hi! KW> Why is that , Boris? The older gents all let their hair grow long? No idea really, but it appears to be the case. Normally, barbers are women and normally they are considerably younger than those two people whom Graywolf photographed. In fact, it would be interesting to compare statistic

Bang! I entirely agree about the hands. The photo misses the "decisive moment" by about a week. And, yes, it is a genuine barber shop. Something that is disappearing in the US being mostly replaced by Unisex Styling Salons. I do have a lot of emotional involvement with this photo, but it has n

Hi! I looked at this photo once and couldn't make up my mind about the sink. Then I read some of the comments and returned to the photo. Then I noticed that both the barber and his customer are of considerable age. At least for Israel. It is rare to find such a pair in local barber shops. Hmmm, is

Actually, the movie image came up while I was composing the message. What I found was that the character in the movie, a barber, had a very flat personality, and because your image came across to me as flat, for lack of a better word at the moment, the movie and the character jumped into my vision

To me, the photo is unbalanced. I think it would be better if the camera was rotated somewhat to the right, so as to put the man getting his hair cut closer to the left side of the frame. I don't like the sink and dreck on the shelf at all, and this would get rid of the worst of it. I wonder if wha

Your comments are interesting, Shel. Some of them seem like you have something in mind from the movie you mentioned that is not being addressed by my photo, which seems to be the bigest problem for you. Some of them seem to be just the divergence of our styles, some of your shots seem boring to

First off, I think you're a good enough photographer to know what you want and that you strive to get it. However, in this case, the "time warp" didn't work for me ... perhaps the subjects are too removed from their environment. I suppose the real question is whether or not it works for you. I f

And.. what makes you think that is not pretty much the effect I was seeking? I was also trying for kind of a feeling of a timewarp type of experience. The shop is kind of like, "... it feels like the guy and the barber are suspended in their own world, apart from anything around them " (to
