Blogger beths said ... (4:31 PM) : 

How gorgeous! The texture and color patterns, the way the graffiti mimics the old fan leading the eye toward the other old retail objects within. The barber's yellow smock! All that blue and aqua, the customer's crew socks. Love this, thank you!

I see some serious decorating possibilities with those blue barber chairs!

Anonymous lolly said ... (4:59 PM) : 

Those chairs must be really old. I've seen similar red chairs in an old barber shop on a small Greek island. The chair, the mosaic on the floor...on the opposite side of the world but not too far apparently. Fascinating.

 

Blogger SabinePsynopsis said ... (5:04 PM) : 

All these colours and such stillness... Beautiful!

 

Blogger Coco and Zaahb said ... (5:08 PM) : 

Its amazing how you can take something as simple as a guy getting a shave look totally interesting.

Blogger Rob Boddice said ... (5:11 PM) : 

I am disquieted by this photo. Although the customer strikes a relaxed pose, there is some inherent tension in the way the two men interact. And the scene: clean, but somehow dirty; small, but somehow cavernous. The striplights are evocative of a clinical operation, but they cast a cold light on what was undoubtedly a warm scene. Excellently caputred shot.

I have pleaded with my hair stylist to get a chair and a barber. I would use them every time I come in. If you have never done this you must. It is a magnificent luxury.

Anonymous greendress said ... (5:44 PM) : 

this is absolutely beautiful. most westerners would probably never want to step foot in a shop that looks like that, but it just looks so warm with the turquoise, chocolate brown, peridot green and bright white towels. a kind of faded elegance. thank you sart.

Anonymous Lauren said ... (9:28 PM) : 

This is one (of many) reasons Brazil is my next stop in my travels. They aren't afraid of bold colours, or boldness in living life in general. When I lived in Bondi, my Brazillian housemate wore a skimpy zebra-print bikini with lime trim without fear. I (Melbournian, afflicted with a love of black and grey) wouldn't even contemplate wearing such a garment, but she pulled it off. Her confidence made what would look trashy on anyone else look beautiful and almost elegant.

Haha! I love the barber shop. It's sad, when I was in America, I was desperately looking for such a place. I never shave at home, always at the barbers, and best of all I do it for a dollar here in India, and they do a darn good job of it.

 

Blogger Brigadeiro said ... (2:51 AM) : 

What a brilliant shot! The place, the colours, the lamp, the barber's chair...incredible! You and Garance are making me very homesick!

a picture is worth a thousand words...especially this one.

My eyes were roaming all over this gorgeous story-telling photograph.

So much detail everywhere you look -- from the old fan, the unusual exposed fluorescent light fixture, the amazing blue of the barber chair, the richer teal hues on the walls, the grafitti on the outer wall, the cracked blue tile at the front of the barbershop...the reds on the wood panels.....even the reflection from the mirror is a trippy visual. Thank you!
