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.

Buses & Girls. Not just the photos but in song too
A published called Portico asked me if I had a suitable photo of Shrewsbury's old Barker Street Bus Station for a book they were publishing called 'The Girl and The Song' where they tell the story behind the lyrics. Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople fame wrote in a love song about a girl who he was to meet here called 'Irene Wilde'.I chose this photo of what at the time was Shrewsbury's only D9 No.5028.
