EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a barber squats in the bustling streets of Chandni Chouk, Old Delhi, India, providing a traditional haircut to a male customer. The year is 1990, and the scene transports us back in time to an era before smartphones and salons. The barber's focused expression and deft hand movements convey a sense of expertise and dedication to his craft. The customer, seated on a low stool, leans forward as the barber skillfully uses a cut-throat razor to trim behind his ears. The razor, sharp and glinting in the sunlight, adds an element of danger and intrigue to the scene. The barber's tools are spread out on a small cloth, including a pair of scissors, a comb, and a basin for water. The background is a chaotic blend of sights, sounds, and smells that define Old Delhi's vibrant street life. People and rickshaws jostle for space, while the aroma of spices and street food wafts through the air. The photograph captures the intimacy and connection between the barber and his customer, as well as the sense of community and daily life in Old Delhi. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and traditions that continue to thrive in the heart of India. The barber's dedication to his craft and the trust between him and his customer are a testament to the enduring human connection that transcends time and place.
