It is with heavy hearts that we are sharing the news that Tony Garofalo who first began working at his old-school Brooklyn barber shop in 1964 after arriving from Italy 🇮🇹has passed away this weekend. We originally photographed this 💈gorgeous #storefront with its hand painted #signage in 2006 for our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” (swipe left for 2nd photo) and also had the chance to watch Tony at work ✂️doing what he loved best. We will miss Tony and our thoughts and prayers 🙏are with his family.
