That Evening Sun is a photo-journal of life, love and interminable lasting on LA’s Skid Row
by Suitcase Joe
On the left: He’s known around the community as the Skid Row Barber and he’s been out here everyday, cutting hair and giving shaves, for the last twenty five years. With a passion for what he does, and a genuine love for the residents of Skid Row, he doesn’t charge for a cut or a shave. He likes that a fresh cut can uplift someone’s spirit. He tells me he wouldn’t want a barber shop. Barber shops charge too much, and he’d rather be out on the streets where the people are who need it the most. He’s been living in Skid Row for somewhere around forty years and he hopes someone picks up his craft and carries it on after him. Someone who cares about the neighborhood the way he does.
