Barber, Bath & Beyond: 1943
March 1943. "Lynchburg, Virginia. A barber in front of his shop." Medium format acetate negative by John Vachon for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Another great composition
Whenever I notice one of your photos with an extra cool style of composition the photographer is so often John Vachon. The more I look at this one the more I like it -- the legs of two ladies walking out of the frame while the barber is ascending into the center, adding depth to the photo with strong angles holding the parts together as everything orbits a crazy-looking pole in the center with action-oriented graphics painted on the base. The photo was taken in 1943 but it is still moving.
