the barber of silverlake

This barber shop is up around the corner from our place in Silverlake, CA. Old school if there ever was one. All the reflections bounced off windows, mirrors, etc. unplanned, and well, the result is what it is...good or bad, I don't know.

I noticed in the shop how much tradition is steeped in this ritual. Portraits on the wall of political and sports heroes, mementos, supplies, a plain wash basin - a singular charm.
