This shot of a Cuban Barber was taken in Havana, Cuba. I was on my way to dinner, strolling through the streets of Havana, when I came across an area of a few city blocks in total darkness. A glimmer of light appeared from a doorway, revealing this amazing scene when I peaked inside.

I asked permission to come in, and I spoke to the barber for a while. He explained that this was his government-issued housing with no electricity or water. He had managed to find a way to hook up water and electricity from the street for his shop and was running a successful business for many years. He showed me his appointment book, which was filled with clients, and people were stopping by to make appointments as we chatted.

I asked the barber and his client if I could take their photograph, and they agreed. They burst into laughter as I took many shots from all different angles. In the end, the shot from the doorway was the best. The lighting was just magical.
