Roger Fenton, whose photography of the battlefields of the Crimean War in 1855 made him the first ever combat photographer, stated that his photographic van was " the foundation of all my labors."
M. Neighbor Photography shot three location sessions this week and at all three I received the same question, "Where's the bus?" For those of you who don't know me, I drive a 1969 VW bus. It's my every-day-driver, my version of the "Fenton Photo Van" and I love it.
In the 6 years since my friend Andy and I restored and modified it for a photographer, it's been flawless with only minor tune-ups and repairs.
Until now.
While driving down I435, a rear wheel bearing failed and began to melt.
That's Hot!
As with any old car, finding the parts is half the battle.
Never fear! The last part has been found (rear stub axle) and is in route, UPS, from California.
By the end of next week, all will be right with "the foundation of all my labors," and the bus will be put back into the service of Art.
