Busworld Photography: It's Liverpool: A change of direction

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

It's Liverpool: A change of direction

Those who follow my exploits will know that in the afternoon I have been doing a fifty-mile school run taking me around the fringes of Wolverhampton. But my employer has had to hand back some unprofitable contracts including mine and it looked as though I was going to have to struggle for suitable jobs. However they have agreed to find me work including what I cut my teeth on driving mini-buses the Airporter. So today I headed off at 5am for Liverpool Speke Airport but I never stopped for any photos as it poured and poured! Still now that I will be getting out and about a bit more again maybe now might I not only get a few nice tips off my customers but maybe I will get chance to catch shots of some of the variety and more unusual buses on my patch like this Arriva (NW) DAF wearing one of East Lancs most pleasant designs seen about three years ago at John Lennon Airport.
