Hah, photo nine makes me think that the photographer is actually a private investigator hire by some suspicious fiancé to document his bride-to-be's bachelorette party and report anything risqué back. But that's just my sitcom reflex. The fact that your subjects are unaware of their starring roles, and the implicit honesty, or genuineness, I guess, that that suggests makes your shots exceedingly personal. I'm making back stories to go along with all of them. The boy browsing through the fabric, for example. He's way too involved (i.e. not exhaustedly draped across a cart) to merely be following his mom/aunt/grandmother around the store. Does that mean that HE is the one who's picking out fabric? If so, then all of my expectations/assumptions have been unseated. That's the narrative quality that drives your images.
I feel like each week your images improve more and more. I love the setting with the racks of cloth. the images are very detailed and the people in the images are subtle, you can't really notice them but you know they're there. I think that subtleness make the images that much better. I also like the last images. I think it's interesting how you were able to capture a line of people walking the same direction and have the image tilted makes it dynamic.
