Use Other Door


This is my friend Rocky's barber shop in the Mills Building on 17th and G Sts NW. He is currently remodeling his shop. I was taking some pictures for a Glencoe text called Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. I talked with Rocky for a while about his business. He said he might be looking for a new barber. He specified "barber and not hair stylist." Someone who could talk about sports would be good too. And he said he would like to find a white barber to increase the diversity of the shop. He said white barbers are a rarity in the District. If you go there looking for a job remember to use the door that says "use other door," for some reason the "other door" is always locked.

This is an illustrative photo that I took today. These are my friends Wynonah and John. John is a lawyer and his wife Wynonah works at M. E. Swing's Coffee Shop. They agreed to help me with my photo assignment. I really like this picture, but I'm not quite sure it will illustrate the type of "obsessive love" the publisher is looking for.
