Bryan (striatic) and I both went in for
haircuts at my favorite barbershop ..
"Ho's Place", I took a series of
shots of Bryan's haircut .. see here: www.flickr.com/photos/optimus/sets/80715/
Love the shapes and love the perspective - I
also have a bit of a haircut fetish so I love
shots like this - I always look at the floor
when I'm the chair too, can't help seeing
what's gone I guess....but I never thought to
bring my camera...

And its a square.
I'm always afraid to look down when I'm getting a hair cut. Something about my recently departed hair.
How did the hairstylist feel about your picture taking?

i was being pretty covert. i think they saw me fiddling with the camera but they were busy with other things.
very ICONic

Going gray so early in life? ;)
Lathyrus (90 months ago | reply)
Do we get to see the cut? And of course we are interested to know what is happening with the beard!
striatic (90 months ago | reply)
rupauk has pictures of the cut, but he hasn't posted them yet.

i aim to please.
very interesting!
i like that the grid is so orderly but the hair falls so randomly.
uidzero (90 months ago | reply)
Indeed. The chair base and foot rest also have a nice round feel that breaks up the grid in a sexy way as well.
Lathyrus (90 months ago | reply)
Could you point us to Rupauk's pics when he posts them? I do not have him as a contact.
striatic (90 months ago | reply)
sure .. he said that he'd post them but hasn't quite yet.

i wondered about the black and grey (white?) bits of hair here ...
i checked your 'me' tags ...
i'm confused; your hair 's brown, isn't it?
love the haircut pics, btw
striatic (90 months ago | reply)

it is brown and has blonde highlights .. that's the hair from the person in the other chair.
i used to have white hair though.

You do squares and rectangles so well! It's almost like formula that is so simple. but very few do it as well. Very satisfying.

thank you very much.
i think that sometimes when people shoot in a very specific or compositionally simple way they can reveal details in a more subtle way.
also, it's a challenge to keep that style of shooting interesting and not boring.
how to be somewhat repetitive without being boring, i guess.
