I just grabbed this image from a site after I was looking for barbershops in the Philly area. I liked the way this barbershop pole looked, isolating itself from the actual interior of the store or any surrounding objects that could have taken away from it. The casing and glass looks old and dusty, and reminds me of a barbershop I used to go to when I was younger. The classic feel of the barbershop pole is iconic and reminiscing of multiple memories from what I am sure is in many individual's pasts.
This was a photo I took from down the road on Main Street at the American Barbershop. It is in B&W because I took it in a set of photos for our Collegeville Document project. Although it certainly incorporates objects in the background of the photo, which can certainly draw attention away from the main object, I think this picture still sets a pretty high emphasis on the pole itself. The black and white certainly gives it an older feel in a different way than the photo above, but the iconic and older feel of the casing as well as the object itself still remains.
