Oh, do I remember trips to the Barber shop on 26th street when I was a kid. I remember Bob, the barber and his ‘other guy’, whose haircuts were never as good as Bob’s. And I remember the smell. There’s an after shave I wear, now, called “Clubman”, by Pinaud. It is the exact smell of the talcum powder that gave the barber shop its unique and special place in my memory of smells. Whenever I splash it on my face … for a moment, I’m twelve again, with a buck clenched tightly in my hand as I sit in the barber chair while Bob, moustache and all, cuts my hair.
This is so old school and awesome. Great shot. Please also know that I explained to someone the other day while I was taking a picture and adjusting just right that I was trying to think, “what would Mishi do to make this shot awesome?” I haven’t been around/commenting, but you have inspired me in a way that will always remain.
LOVE this!
What a cool shot! This is one of those that I just have to say, wow.
I just love this shot!! What a story it tells!!
I love this shot! The different generations, the clear details. Wow is right.

super fun!! New blog if you want to come for a little visit!
I love that some day Mikey might have a memory like this, of Woody’s!
Super fun shot!
GREAT SHOT! It’s like a snapshot of Dahlonega life. People come back to this barber shop for YEARS after they have left the school :) Great picture!
We bring the boys here for their haircuts all the time. I love how they will remember this old place when they’ve grown up.
They’re actually up there today, getting their Barbershop on!
