Why photograph haircuts?
The theme of photographing people or places
at regular intervals is familiar in photography.
Nicholas Nixon is famous for his
photos
of the Brown sisters.
On the Web, one finds photos
of coffee pots, plazas and people that are
taken every few minutes.
Photographing every seven weeks is
my compromise between photographing
every year and photographing every minute.
When I first came to Berkeley, I was fascinated by the light in
Northern California, bought a camera and started taking pictures.
I did my own developing and printing at the
ASUC Studio, where I
also took photography classes.
While I no longer work in a darkroom, I carry a digital camera
with me whenever I can.
