awesome pic, great depth good use of dementsion good contrasting objects

This is a great shot on so many levels. Great composition, beautiful piece of Americana, and intersting subject.

This is a great remembering of what photography should BE!!!!

Another super image my friend,love the archive feel to it.Again perfectly suited to BnW,
bet that guy could tell a few stories.GREAT STUFF.

what a beautiful composition!!

Oh wow do I remember that Tri X 400 film. You did a great job with this film and what a terrific subject and place! Beautiful. I love it!

The good ol’ days! This is excellent – awesome dof, focus, tones, lighting….all very nice.

how cool is this photo?.....great subject

Even in ‘88 this would have had a vintage feel – I like! Really tells a story.

this is a brilliant image – it feels like an old fashion/photojournalist picture – as Mark says there is a real story behind it.

Well done, good choice to show the human side of this picture by using B&W..

Love it ! a perfect shot in very aspect …Brilliant!

Agree with Antoine!

Like the way you shot this- the casualness of it. It feels like it was from the 1950’s.

Great light and mood, love the scene!

Beautiful very good captured

Agree about the old fashion look, well done!

I thiught what Kitsmumma said before reading the comment, excellent image and well seen

A wonderful thought provoking image!!!!!

Very beauitful! Has a journalistic feel to the capture, kind of capturing history! Well done JK!

Fabulous image, i agree with Paul on this one ,definately has a journalistic feel!!

great shot~ Tri X i my fav for large format pieces id imagine the grain on this to be quite beautiful! As Mentioned above, the image does have a documentative feel about it.

This is so cool and retro.It could just as easily have been shot in 1968 instead of 86. Love the composition, love the subject.

Wonderful and classic shot. I love it in b&w. It makes it timeless.

Great shot, love the relaxed mood.

Oh the stories he could tell, would love to get a hair cut at this place, nice shot.

fantastic shot. i like the tone and the lighting.

love the feel of this! Feel old fashioned and cosy. Wonderful b&w work – tones, lighting – great work!

i love this. well captured.

it is beautiful…….i like the angle you used

Brilliant shot – I love images like this. They have such a classic feel. Reminds me of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Great work.

A great b/w shot J.K. Great contrast, composition, and light. Excellent work as always my friend!

The mood in this image really is something! Well captured B&W moment! can i ask (may sound bit silly) but did the barber pose for you or is he unaware? It just seems quite natural :)

Very nicely composed.

Fantastic mood and lighting, the feeling is much older than the eighties.

This is wonderful!
So representative of American heritage. I would say any heritage, but I don’t know if other countries have these type of barbar shops?
The tones suit the image perfectly.

VWD. LOVE YOUR EXPRESSION, INSPIRATIONAL SHOT!

A pic can say a thousand words and this one sure does, thankyou it said a lot to me!
Thankyou for your comment on the Arch, Regards photoj

Almost a lost world nowdays – very rare in the UK certainly – superb photo.

Very oldtimey..I like it!

Another gorgeous image – this says “America” to me, this is the sort of America portrayed on our TV’s here in Australia. It’s nice to see it actually exists! Great image and I love the b&w! : )

HOw lovely to see a real natural portrait photo – my favourite kind, kind of CB style, where the surrounds tell the story

Brilliant shot!

hey great shot, love the tonal quality used in this picture, great use of black and white the subject and situation demanded it, good composition all goes to give a great picture has a fity’s feel to it

An absolutely BRILLIANT shot – a masterpiece of photojournalism! It has a certain je ne sais qua which I lack the vocabulary to elucidate. I can easily envision this in a hard cover book memorializing the great photos of an era. Bravo.

Brilliant shot really! Congratulations on your feature.

I’m only out of bed for the last hour but that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen all day.
