Ditto, Janet, Sheila, a great project and wonderful work.
What strikes me more than anything is your strong personal style, these really could only be your work.
Things change without you really noticing, I was thinking today how much my town has changed just in the time i've lived here, but how often you don't document the ordinary because you don't think of when it might not be there....at the moment my neighbour is in hospital, and unlikely to pull through, and he and his wife (in their 80's) have lived in the house next door for nearly 50 years, the nicest nicest man, and i often thought i should take their picture but never did. i'm really glad for all the portraits we take, and those small shops will probably close when the owners retire, this project is a way of appreciating them now.
Hopefully you'll post more as you go.
