Carol Brill February 09, 2004

Marvelous job of capturing him so clearly through the window, Bill, this looks like a much more friendly and welcoming place of business than the current generic and impersonal hair salons!! Nice capture of a sadly vanishing piece of Americana. #369308

William C. Raco February 09, 2004

Thanks all.
I was passing by the shop when Buck came to the window.
He saw I had my camera and started waving and laughing.
This is where I get what's left of my hair cut.
It's a very friendly 2 seater shop owned by brothers.
When they aren't busy, they break out the guitars and play music.
I haven't given Buck the photo yet, but I will next visit.
Cheers,

bill #369314

I can see why this fine image -- folksy, charming, down-home and fun -- won the Grand Prize in Pennsylvania Magazine's annual photo contest. How exciting that it will be the lead photo in the next issue, Bill!

We know how modest you are, Bill, so I decided to blab here and tell everyone about your win. Hope you don't mind. :-)

Again, congrats!

Oh, and here's another alternate title for your image: "The Buck Stops Here"

LOL!
