BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Seeing a new year in for the first time without the RM


One of my priorities for 2007 is to do more with my transport photographs so I will be regularly posting images like these two London Routemasters taken at Victoria in the early Nineties. The are still a tiny number running about on special routes but the fifty-year reign of the RM is over. One thing one can say about bus photography is that unless the vehicle is parked up against a wall or somewhere equally featureless the image should become more interesting as time passes and almost by default hobby photographers make a valuable record that in time could turn the mundane into a rare and valuable gem.
