'roid week #4

an older gentleman, who i presume to be the owner of the barber shop where i snapped this, came out as i was taking this shot. he was incredulous, asking if i truly had never seen a barber pole before. (and i thought he might be more inclined to ask about the polaroid!) i told him that yes, i've seen barber poles before, but this one was in fine shape and deserved a photo taken of it. because it really was a fine specimen.

as this pola came out, the last in the cartridge, it got a little stuck, thus the smear on the left side of the photo. i think it just gives it character.
