February 1, 2012 – A year of portraits – Joe Kington

02.01.12 Joe Kington

Joe Kington has been a barber for 37 years, since he was 18 years old. That’s a lot of haircuts! He opened his own shop in Mortons Gap, Ky back in 1984 and has been in this place since 1996, which used to be the towns city hall. Like most small town barber shops it’s the hub for folks to stop by and visit, not just to get a haircut. If you need a good haircut and want to chat about anything then stop by and pay him a visit.

Image was processed with Photoshop CS5 with levels adjusted to lighten up the midtones and then I applied the Topaz Adjust Photo Pop filter to sharpen up the final image.
