The latest title from Caf\u00e9 Royal Books<\/em>, Paul Baldesare \u2014 Victoria Coach Station 1991\u20131993<\/a>, showcases some images that I’ve really loved since I first saw them when Paul was working on this project. And there are a few great pictures I’ve not seen before.<\/p>\n

\n \u00a9 Paul Baldesare 1991-3<\/small><\/p>\n

Paul and I met at the Museum of London<\/em> a year or so before he took these pictures, and we became members of the ‘London Documentary Photographers<\/em>‘ group set up by Mike Seaborne who was the curator of photographs at the museum. At the time Paul had a great body of work taken on the London Underground (some in another Caf\u00e9 Royal book) which inspired me to begin a series of pictures on London buses.<\/p>\n

London Documentary Photographers decided to put on a show about transport in London – and the museum showed this, I think in 1992 or 1993. As well as some of the bus pictures, I also contributed a set of black and white panoramic images showing the DLR extension to Beckton under construction, including this picture of the line going over Bow Creek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was the first project that I’d done using the Japanese Widelux swing lens panoramic camera, chosen because the subject matter seemed to suit it so well. This picture from it has been published and shown a number of times, but much of the rest of the work has hardly been seen since I took it, though an image taken a couple of years later when the line was in operation and I returned to photograph it in colour,\u00a0 still using a panoramic camera, did rather nicely wrap around both sides of a record cover.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Royal Books<\/em><\/a> worth looking at, and now is a great time to stock up, as there is a half price sale – 50% off orders over \u00a324, but only until midnight on 26th November. As well as buying copies for yourself, they might make good stocking fillers for friends.<\/p>\n
