For the last few years, downtown Raleigh has been one of my favorite places to take pictures. Over those years there, I taken quite a few at the corner of Wilmington and Davie streets. The northeast corner has dominated the action at the intersection for me. The site is occupied by Jones Barber & Style Shop.
I’ve gotten pictures of the folks standing out front, barbers on smoke break, clients looking out the window, barbers eating lunch in the window... A few weeks ago, I had a little time one afternoon, and I stuck my head in to say ask if I could take a picture or two. The barbers (from left Monroe, Rodney, and Larry) said, “Sure.”
The pictures you see here are from the hour or so I spent there that afternoon. I will likely revisit the page to include some earlier shots taken outside the shop. I also hope to visit the shop to take more photos soon.
