Today I started working on a project that my girlfriend, Angela, and I have been talking about for a little while. The plan is to make a book and a short documentary about Halifax barbers. We both really dig on the classic barbershop style. I will visit barbershops taking photos and shooting short interviews then Angela will employ her super fantastic graphic design skills (see here) to create the book. Today I met two extremely funny and interesting barbers, I am genuinely excited to meet more and hear their stories. The only problem so far is that they are so damn busy, it's hard to find enough time to set a light or get a mic on them in between customers. I might have to find a way to convince them to stay after hours to get less rushed interviews with better sound.
Big day tomorrow, I'm shooting two things. In the morning another interview for Operation Mongoose and then a rap video for Littles The General into the evening. Might be a long day but should be a fun one. Oh, and below is a clip from Sean Grady's "Operation Mongoose" with Jason Eisener shot on day four.
