Jane Reese

I first thought NO, reportage is not my cup of tea. Secondly, I thought YES, a new challenge is welcome. First efforts recorded W10 (area of London) events, until the Project assumed its own direction in this once-productive of enclave of light industry, where hardly any manufacturing now takes place.
