[PHOTOSTORY 3: ADITL] - Mornings on the Move Before Work

By: Jayvon Adams 


Jahierre Martin is getting a haircut to start off his day. Since coming back from the U.S. Navy two months ago, he's been getting haircuts to start every weekend. 

Jahierre Martin is getting his beard lined up. He just started growing his beard back out after years of cutting it for the military. 


Jahierre Martin is checking to see how fresh his haircut looks in the mirror. He said, "It's hard to find a good barber in Japan, man, I used to hate getting my haircut."


Two bikes are parked outside of the house side-by-side. He has a bike for himself and his brother Isaiah to ride. 


Jahierre Martin is putting his helmet on before he starts riding. He claimed that even though he just bought this bike last month, he likes it better than his old one that he had before leaving for the Navy.



Jahierre Martin is posing on the bike before taking off. He said, "I mean I just got her, I plan on painting her black maybe like next week or so." 


Jahierre Martin is riding through his neighborhood. He usually rides more whenever his brother comes over, they either ride through the neighborhood or go hit the trail across from their neighborhood. 



Jahierre and Isaiah Martin are doing tricks during their ride through the neighborhood. Jahierre says, "he always has to show off, not me, I just got a haircut."


Jahierre Martin stopped on the sidewalk to check his clutch. He said, "This thing has been popping up kind of weird today, I don't know why."


Jahierre Martinis is checking to see if he has gas in the tank. His second thought was that low gas could've lead to the unusual actions of the bike. 


Jahierre and Isaiah Martin are seen discussing what to do next. The trail that they usually go to was closed for the day for a summer camp fun day. 
 



Jahierre Martin is stopping to answer his phone. He considered spending the rest of his downtime at the pool since he had work in another two hours. 


Jahierre Martin is pushing the bike into the grass. He laughed and explained, "We're going to the pool but I can't go in all the way, you know I just got a haircut."


Residents enjoy their Friday morning at the neighborhood pool. It's more expected for the pool to have more people at night, when it's cooler. 


Jahierre Martin is sitting down poolside while checking his phone. He was checking his work schedule to absolutely make sure had work at 4 o'clock.


Jahierre Martin is checking to see how cold the water really is today. He said, "I don't know how everyone else got straight in, it's freezing."


Jahierre and Isaiah Martin are sitting on the edge of the pool with their feet in the water. Isaiah had agreed with Jahierre's idea about not fully getting in because he thought the water was too cold. 


Jahierre Martin is putting up the clutch on the bike. It was time to pack up for the day considering he still had to go to work. 


Jahierre Martin is hitting the pavement on his dirtbike. This is his favorite thing to do to shake off the stress before clocking in, he said he loves it. 


Jahierre Martin puts his bike away after the morning. He pointed to the bike and told his brother, "This right here is the only thing they're missing in Japan."
