Crazy Red Bus

DateThursday, September 24, 2009 at 11:51AM

I love Jez Coulson's blurred 'Mad Taxi' shots - featured here on Photo-dialogue... But his London Taxi pictures don't have the same ring to them. His adopted home is (mostly) New York City and the yellow cabs have a special significance. Even a pink London cab looked tame by comparison.

Last night, wandering along Euston Road I tried to take London cab pictures. Black cabs in the dark??? It wasn't working for me. But, hey, Jez is a Brummie and I am a Londoner and what resonates for me most is not cabs, it's Red Buses.

Big, bad, brilliant, run-you-over, crazy red buses.  

That's what the Streets of London are all about. Cheers, Jez, I owe you one!

Hi Jez...you could do a series on Greyhound buses - they are even running in the UK now! I was back in London the other day and took a few more - they were looking great. I've found some great 'red buses in the dark locations - how sad ;-/ But buses do need to be big and red - I remember when I was a kid; we moved out of town and the buses were...green! It was all wrong...!
