These are a series of photos I took in 2000 at a barbershop in Philadelphia when I was still in art school. I sat in there for a few hours over a two-day period using my novice photography skills to capture the activity. There were so many characters. One guy refused to have his picture taken because he was afraid of being posted on the internet. At the time I was thinking, why in the world would I put these on the internet? Ha, look at me now.
