Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

WMPTE: Ailsa Alexander
Because some really stand out I've decided to do a new series called my favourite photos and I think my mentor Tom Moore would approve of this one as he could have taken it himself. With black and white photography one can get so much more satisfaction as they can be involved in the whole creative process. Sadly as with many others proper photography it is a thing of the past as it so much easier to be digital. It seems hard to believe now but I found Birmingham and district quite boring in the early-Eighties especially as there was a lot of standardisation in the West Midlands PTE fleet. However I found the fifty Ailsa buses allocated to former Midland Red Black Country garages both interesting and pleasantly attractive.
