  • New fir tree growth on the site of one of Yellowstone National Park's great fires. The great fire of 1988 devastated huge swathes of forest. In the park, the natural order of life rules. If trees fall, they are left where they are, if a tress falls across a road, the dead tree is cut but only up to the edge of the road. Here we see the new growth beneath the burnt older woods. New replacing old, the regeneration of this wild land.

  • Scale model of world's tallest man Robert Pershing Wadlow in London street with similar-looking man eating junk food.<br />
<br />
Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) is the tallest person in history. He reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m)[2][3] in height and weighed 485 lb (220 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Refined Sunflower-seed oil is edible, sunflowers have 39 to 49% oil in the seed.

Sunflower oil is generally considered a premium oil because of its light color, high level of unsaturated fatty acids and lack of linolenic acid, bland flavor and high smoke points.

  • "Diptheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough, meningitis."  A four month-old baby screams with the sharp prick of an innoculation needle administered by a health visitor at a doctor's surgery, London. The post-natal clinic is a health check for the baby and for new mothers to discuss parenting problems with a NHS-qualified midwife and paediatric specialist. She attends to mother and child since they arrived back home from hospital, days after birth and therefore knows all their details and the baby's growth statistics and development curves. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.
