During a photographic trip to the working class neighborhood of El Marañón, I stumbled upon this working class barber shop. The owner was an enthusiast retired person who had problems making ends meet, so he gathered a few dollars and opened up this humble barber shop.
He told my wife and me, “If the government won’t increase my social security pension check, I will go out and rake in the dollars I need to live. I have a good health, two good arms and two good legs, there’s nothing I can’t do.” That’s the spirit that makes nations great. Good Day.
