(Jerseyville, IL) Barber Jimi Hill cuts the hair of Alex Weaver at 11:15 AM on the Monday morning following Alex's high school graduation. Jimi previously worked in the shop of Elmer Heafner which is located two blocks away. Jimi is only the third barber in the location since the early 1930's. The leather covered seating and art deco fixtures date from that period. His shop is lit by plate glass windows and a door facing east with some fluorescent lamps above the stations and the ceiling.

It was almost dark - 9pm - and in the dimness I accidentally fumbled with the ISO setting. I was hoping to get some very saturated colour and motion blur as the water was gently lapping, but collected the reflections of the last light and clouds instead.
