Bus driver, New York City, New York, 2009

His workplace is electric powered and dedicated to quality control. He has probably been driving buses through Manhattan’s chaotic and gridlocked traffic for many years, and seems incongruously relaxed. I framed him within my own frame by shooting him through his door at a bus stop. The softly focused decals on the side of the bus add context.

Thanks, Chris. The left side of the image provides context for the veteran driver framed within a frame on the right side.

I like the way you framed it together with all the information about the bus on the left side. Very nice photo Phil.

Did Ralph Kramden drive a bus? Shows you how much I know about pop culture.
