Bob Mazzer On The Buses

After more than forty years photographing on the tube, Bob Mazzer revealed to me that recently he has been photographing from the bus. Over recent weeks while his debut exhibition UNDERGROUND has been running at the Howard Griffin Gallery, Bob has regularly been catching the 48 back and forth from London Bridge to Shoreditch High St – and taking pictures of what he sees from the window.

Given that the number of pictures in Bob’s current exhibition corresponds approximately to the number of years he has been photographing on the tube, I think we may wait awhile before a show of his bus pictures materialises that meets his own rigorous selection criteria. Yet each of the photos below is characterised by the unique view of humanity that we recognise in all his work.
