Ananda Hair Studio in Asheville North Carolina

I stopped by Ananda Hair Studio in Asheville North Carolina with the Flip Video Camera and started shooting away, no notice, just on the spot action. As usual, the gang was cutting hair and styling like pros. This is one of the top hair studios in Asheville owned and operated by Larry himself (top photo), and is a favorite of many of my friends. Stop by and check it out sometime. He has a few great offers for first timers, repeat clients, etc. On the walls of the studio you will see some paintings and artwork from local Asheville Artists as well.

18 Month Old Drummer from Asheville North Carolina

What I liked most about "Max" is that he carefully schemed the scene, waited for the band to take a break, climbed up on the seat, and started drumming away. It wasn't but 30 seconds and he had the crowd cheering. His mom was like "should I get him down?". I pulled out the Flip HD Cam and said "NO!". Great time at Phil Mechanic Studios in Asheville. I just call it Art Heaven with many levels and rooms of Art. See Video of Max playing the drums on www.YouTube.com/AskAsheville
