OLD SCHOOL BARBERSHOP PHOTOGRAPHY PRINT

Smith’s Barbershop - Excelsior Springs, Missouri

Every true barbershop has a unique feeling that’s almost tangible once you cross it’s threshold from the street. The decor is a living thing that grows with time as customers gift the shop a photograph, trinket, or keepsake. Each one a genuine reflection of the interests and hobbies of the people in that particular part of the country. That’s why each shop worth it’s weight in gold could never be duplicated. Such is the case for Smith’s Barbershop. Smith’s had IT. A texture and vibe all it’s own. Back in 2014 I didn’t think to ask the story behind the ship hanging next to the mirror and haven’t got the image out of my mind or seen another like it since.
