Randy Murray on getting a haircut and a shave:
While being touched by random stranger may be unwelcome, there’s an entire class of intimate strangers who are trained, licensed, and given permission to touch.
And:
I think that I’ll retire my clippers for a while and make a regular trip to the barber. I no longer see it as a chore. It’s a treat, something special to help me look good and feel good.
I feel similarly “licensed” when invited/allowed/paid to photograph people. Although it doesn’t involve physical contact, there’s a certain intimacy to it. A great deal of intimacy in many cases.
And I always aim for a review like Randy’s. “It’s a treat, something special to help me look good and feel good.”
I totally understand this. Those moments during interviews when guests are revealing personal or painful things. Those moments when their tears come. It’s a privilege.
