\u00a0I don\u2019t have a lot of bus photos, but . . .<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was probably the first week of August. It was hot, humid, and stinky in New York City. The bus carried\u00a0an aroma of garbage, sweat and diesel exhaust.<\/p>\n

My grandmother, my brother Sean and I took a cross town bus from Coop City to Forham Road to go shopping.<\/p>\n

My grandmother paid our fare, and we went to the back. As we stopped to collect passengers, I made a series of photos with my Leica, as you do. Right?<\/p>\n

\"riding-a-NY-city-bus-circa-\"<\/a>This was one of several photos I exposed with my Leica 3A with 50mm Summitar on black & white film.<\/p>\n

The bus was ok, but I preferred our excursions on the subway.<\/p>\n
