doonster said...: I've been enjoying the workshop series, both colour and B&W. I also seem to think there are, in fact, 2 distinct series coming together - 1 focusing on tools & equipment, the other on materials and shapes.

for me, the nature of the images gives these 2 groups there own distinctive character.; 5:14 am

It was not intentional, but it does perhaps point a way to the future. Eventually I'm going to run out of things to photograph here (though after six visits, I am amazed that I've come away as excited after each shoot as the previous). I have been asking myself, 'what next' and perhaps you have provided me with the answer - to find other places, not necessarily industrial shops) in which I can continue to work on the close forms, while working on a second series of industrial places.
