A Bus Stop in Bethnal Green
Amanda Jones took these photographs of the bus stop across the window from her flat. “I enjoy observing people and, when you do, London is a paradise…” she admitted to me, “so I take a picture of my view every day while having breakfast, or just as I am about to leave for work, with my coat on, the bag and the lunch box in my hands, and in a rush because I had nearly forgotten.”
Once she had accumulated a series of these photographs, Amanda decided to publish them and the result is The Bus Stop – a daily blog which traces the compelling drama of life at the kerbside. “I really like living in the East End because you feel part of it, just as if you were in a small town,” she explained, “and doing this project has helped me to realise this, because there are so many people who crop at the bus stop in my pictures on more than one day!”
How many recurring characters can you can spot among these favourite photographs from Amanda’s growing archive?
