Night Barber Chair Footrest Cup Under Neon

A small, translucent plastic cup sits atop the chrome footrest of a vintage barber chair, catching the cool glow of overhead neon bulbs. The metal frame gleams with soft, distorted reflections of red and blue light, highlighting the smooth curves of the cup against the dark, textured leather of the chair base. Shadows stretch across the tiled floor, showing the quiet stillness of the shop before the morning rush. Winter cold is suggested by the stark, unadorned emptiness of the surrounding mirrors and the faint dust settling on the stainless steel counter nearby. The chrome leg of the chair reflects the dim, flickering sign outside, creating a sharp, silver edge against the deep shadows of the room. One, clear droplet of water rests on the rim of the cup, catching the neon light.
