EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and culturally rich photograph captured by Jitendra Prakash, we witness a unique way to welcome the new year in Allahabad, a northern Indian city. The image showcases a man sitting comfortably in a barbershop chair, his face obscured as he receives an intricately designed haircut that depicts the year 2011. The barber's skilled hands meticulously carve out numbers and patterns on the man's head, showcasing both creativity and precision. The barbershop itself exudes an urban charm with its colorful interior and signs written in Latin script. A couple can be seen hand-in-hand nearby, perhaps waiting for their turn or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere of this community hub. This photograph not only captures a moment of personal grooming but also reflects the spirit of celebration surrounding the arrival of a new year. It serves as a reminder that traditions can take on wonderfully diverse forms across different cultures. Jitendra Prakash's expert use of depth-of-field draws our attention to the detailed work being done by the barber while maintaining an overall sense of activity within the shop. This image truly encapsulates real people engaging in everyday activities that are uniquely tied to their cultural heritage.
