Thank you all for your support.This is one of my newest images and it was captured on December 31st. Making it among my last images of 2004...and I just got six stars for it...thanks Linda.
I took this one at a barbershop, poorly illuminated by a fluorescent bar from the ceiling.
Most of the characters shown on the wall belong to what is know as the “golden era” of our movie industry.
From left to right: Dolores del Rio and Pedro Armendariz (“Maria Candelaria; 1943, movie directed by Emilio “El Indio” Fernandez). Next one is Maria Felix (above her a small stamp of Jesuscrist).
Below Maria Felix there is a small picture of Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante. To the right of Maria Felix is a comediant know as Resortes, followed by Chachita and La Tucita. Below them Mario Moreno Cantinflas.
Below the clock Emiliano Zapata, who teamed with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. Next is actor Pedro Infante.
In the mirror, the barber with a hair styled like one of those famous characters portrayed in the wall. Also in the mirror a picture of Antonio Aguilar and one poster of an unidentified modern city which gives some kind of mystery to the story.
Mil gracias. (many thanks)
