Saturday Cut

Outdoor barber chair on a sunlit Los Angeles street, a hand mid-motion above a young client's head

The arm is the fastest thing in the frame. The hair is second. The kid is holding so still he is almost the chair.

Saturday afternoon, parking lot, no shop. The shop is the chair. The shop is the cape. The shop is the man with the clippers and one good song in his head.

A small ceremony. We let the motion blur stay because that is the part of a haircut that is the haircut.
