The top deck of a London bus has to be a pretty neat way of seeing the world below.
And when it is the same bus at about the same time every day then you have got yourself a project.
All you need is a camera and the patience each week to record the same spot.
It helps if there is a major new development underway like the one in the High Street and the rest as they say is Larissa Hamment’s “Pictures from an Eltham bus.”*
And today Larissa sent me this one.
Now what I particularly like about Larissa's project is the way it captures month by month the changes to our High Street.
"This is the Grove Market development opposite, they've got hoarding up so can't get a better one, (unless I'm quick when the bus comes..!) where Fads & the Midland Bank used to be."
So the beauty of the series is that you can look back and capture that past.
Location, Eltham High Street, Eltham, London
