    I like the images, Yuri. Does he cut your hair, or just yank it out? :D

    I like the black and white: the sepia is too self consciously photoshopped.

    Great subject, though. Otherwise, fine photographs. I'm just getting tired of the homogenization caused by predicatable editing options.

    I like the composition of the first one. Love it!!!
    I like the PP but would ENJOY seeing it in living color and black and white!
    But i have to say this gives it a raw look.

    Great as usual...

    In #2, I really get a kick out of his pinky ring, and then, on the other handlebar, a cute toy mouse!! Too funny!

    (is that the softer side of the barber showing?)

    Fun captures, Yuri!

    Among all the baroque ebullience he bedecks himself and his bike with, not the slightest lifting of his determinedly downturned mouth (if this is smiling, what does he look like when he laughs?!). Or is the problem with the Russian word for "cheese"? So funny!

    You apparently did not read the good things I also said about the photographs.

    My problem with photoshopped looks or menued options is that I always know exactly what the photographer has done, and it keeps me from seeing the shot spontaneously. For example, if Cartier-Bresson had similarly processed his photos, they would have had less impact. His technique was so masterful that it was invisible. The minute I see an easy choice, or a gimmick, it takes me away from the experience of the photo.

    All this said, you've done well with your subject, and he's worth being shot as is and not in sepia.

    Well, that explains it! Of course he is "searious"! wings.gif

    I'd guess he could give a very creative haircut. And as someone else at DGrin says, creativity is hard. He is obviously carrying the burden of his art. I would, I think, go to him for my very last haircut in this life, just to grab a glimpse of what I might have been, before the end! :D

    Thanks, Howard!
