Talk:Daniel Meadows

Liz Jobey's article
Liz Jobey's article "Street Life" is excellent and can be mined for much more than it's now used for in this WP article. Fearing that it might disappear from its current place at ft.com, I've backed it up here at Webcite. -- Hoary (talk) 02:23, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

A turned B
An odd set of edits: An introduction that makes no mention of a large section of DM's career (indeed, the half that's perhaps better known) seems bizarre; also, I see nothing wrong with using one word ("turned") twice in a single sentence. Therefore I've reverted the lot. -- Hoary (talk) 08:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Links added to very everyday words within the very first sentence
 * Removal from the first sentence (and thus introduction) of the first half of DM's career. NB this first half is what has just been celebrated in a major exhibition. The edit summary makes no mention of the removal of substance, and instead says deleted "turned into" twice in intro (actually "turned into" wasn't used even once).
 * Bypassing redirect for (unnecessary) link.

Image needed
I appreciate the intentions of the editor who added a photo of a similar bus. However, this is not the particular bus (which you can see on its adventure here); and, surprisingly, the particular bus still exists. I quote this page by Meadows:


 * Amazingly JRR 404 is still with us. Thought to be the last remaining model of her class and type she has been acquired by the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Trust (link opens in a new window) who have her on show in their museum at Wythall, UK, where she is listed as "exotica" under "other" and "rare".

Here's that link to a recent photo of the bus, which is in The Transport Museum, Wythall.

And if anyone is in a legalistic mood -- "We need independent evidence that this is the bus" (FFS!) -- then the Royal Photographic Society tells us:


 * Curated by Val Williams, Daniel Meadows: Early Photographic Works will include renowned bodies of work such as ... the landmark Free Photographic Omnibus project which saw Meadows undertake a journey across England in a double decker bus he had converted into a darkroom and living space. During his 10,000 mile odyssey Meadows photographed almost one thousand people from 22 towns across Britain. ...
 * The bus, which was originally brought for £360.20 is now being renovated and restored at Wythall Transport Museum in the West Midlands.

So, can anyone within reach of Wythall take a photo of the particular bus that's shown here? -- Hoary (talk) 08:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC) .... slightly edited -- Hoary (talk) 04:56, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
