Love it. Fantastic series. Although sad in a way (who knows, the gent in question maybe wants to retire at 88!!) it's wonderful that you've taken the time to record his work and his personality in this way.

Nice collection of images,  if you got an opportunity i love to see you explore some more portraits of Bill in the environment.  Thanks for sharing. I see you used 100asa,  maybe  try 400asa as the lighting looks quite low.

Nice images and great idea for a project.
I want to see more images, to see and feel more about the place, the objects and the nice 88 years old man

Wonderful, but sad.  Reminds me of a similar place in our town, a wonderful shop/workshop stacked high with "obsolete" electronics treasure.  I loved the place dearly and was saddened when the guy finally had to sell up and close several years back.  He also sold  "Grot Bags", plastic bags full of all manner of mysterious obsolete electronic junk,  weighing several pounds each.  As a kid I used to buy these at 15p each instead of comfort food, which kept me slim and turned me into a nerd.  At his closing down sale I had to buy one last Grot Bag for old time's sake.

Thanks for posting, it brought back some memories and yes post more if you have any!
