The Eye: Looking, Aesthetic, & One's Craft

I'm searching for a relationship with a barber.

A long term one. One that I can spend twenty years working with. One who's eye I will trust to shape me as I grow and age - always being able to make the representation.

To me, this seems a complicated way to live; developing ones eye as a barber, always looking at people, judging what you feel is appropriate, a good move, a good combination - learning from what is at hand around you, so you can flow that interpretive and reading skill into your work - into someones hair.

I wonder.

What does this activate? Looking at people all the time and not landscapes. Or, am I best to say, looking at a different landcapes?
