Busworld Photography: George Ewer's Grey Green: This was my first job

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

George Ewer's Grey Green: This was my first job

Not everything I try to do works and I'm sure I could have got a better picture of this rather battered Grey Green Leyland Leopard Duple Commander bodied coach at Victoria Coach Station operating the East Anglian Express Service. I started my working life as a management trainee with this firm but I hated it and the anoraks I worked with so much I was delighted when two weeks later I got the sack for taking a Saturday off 'for the dentist' so that I could see the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park like a normal teenager. I'm even on film wearing my work suit and tie!
