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.

Alexandra Road South, Manchester
A special place for me, as this is where I used to go to stay with my Grandparents when I was small. The red and cream Leyland and Daimlers chugging past the big Victorian House on the 80 and 88 Routes were a big influence on my lifetime's fascination for buses. Today somehow the modern business-like Alexander-Dennis double-deckers of Stagecoach with their large areas of red on what is now the 85 still thankfully look and feel rather like my Manchester buses.
