You can submit up to 3 pictures for selection.

Photographs can be digital file format or prints.

Photobus

PhotobusThe Media Workshop is currently assembling an archive of the organisation and our project work over the last 30 years. As part of this we are also linking together other information on the history of other related projects.

Funded by the Arts Council, Daniel Meadows was able to embark on a utopian community project, touring England in a bus for a year during 1973-74.

“Once upon a time I lived in a double-decker bus, reg. JRR 404, better known as the Free Photographic Omnibus. She was my home, my travelling darkroom and gallery.” - Daniel Meadows

On Daniels site there are details of his Photobus project and its 2001 follow-up.
Some of the images from this project were part of the No Such Thing as Society touring exhibition.
