  • A top deck bus passenger checks messages on a smartphone. Seen from another bus' top deck, we see a lady commuter holding her phone, perhaps checking texts or emails. There are no other passengers nearby so she enjoys a degree of privacy on her journey. In the year ending March 2014, there were an estimated 5.2 billion bus passenger journeys in Great Britain – around two-thirds of all public transport journeys, of these, 4.7 billion journeys were in England, of which half were in London.

  • Before they were all replaced as working modes of public transport, a conductor sells a ticket wgile travelling along a London road, as part of a two-man crew of a number 88 red London Rotemaster bus, England UK. A parked car is seen through the open ledge of the bes' rear, blurred in the back ground and a lady passengers sits patiently as the bus speeds on its journey along its route through the capital. The man holds two fingers up to a foreign tourist to make sure they want two tickets for their destination. The conductor is the last human link with friendly public travel in London. He is usually a friendly face to accompany unsure travellers, often helping them reach their stop and answering questions about the journey with good humour and kindness. Their removal in favour of single driver crews meant that bus travel became more intimidating.

  • As a scooter rider on a Vespa edges past, a number 28 tram rumbles along a narrow street in the Portuguese capital, on 13th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. The 28 is one of the trams not only used by the people of the capital but also of an increasing number of tourists who ride the entire route from Prazeres cemetery in the west of the city, to Rossio in the centre, after a loop through some of the most amazing streets and landmarks. So crowded is the 28, that older locals often cant sit down, having to stand over younger, inconsiderate tourist families who want a window seat for the entire journey - and back. Notices at termini remind visitors that this is a public service and to consider locals.

  • Half-way across the thin taut wire of a tightrope, an tightwire walker acrobat riding a monocycle pauses and wobbles to compensate his balance before continuing his journey across to safety at the other end of two supporting poles The act forms part of the Canadian circus troupe Cirque de Soleil during a show in Battersea, London. Blue and red spotlights illuminate this daredevil and we see his tights, his wide-sleeved theatrical shirt and the concentration and grim determination on his face - the look of a professional trickster at work. He may be showing a seemingly dangerous and unpredictable stunt though in truth, he will have rehearsed this simple balancing act for many years but must still keep up the illusion of danger for the sake of a gasping, gullible audience.

  • Before they were all replaced as working modes of public transport, a conductor is seen while travelling along a London road, as part of a two-man crew of a number 11 red London bus, England UK. The bus is a traditional design called a Routemaster which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage and tourist routes. From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon. The conductor is the last human link with friendly public travel in London. He is usually a friendly face to accompany unsure travellers, often helping them reach their stop and answering questions about the journey with good humour and kindness. Their removal in favour of single driver crews meant that bus travel became more intimidating.

  • The ferry crossing the River Yare on the Norfolk Broads. The Reedham Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry which crosses the River Yare in Norfolk. It crosses the river near the village of Reedham, forming the only crossing point between the city of Norwich and Great Yarmouth and saving users a journey of more than 30 miles. The current ferry was built in 1984, was designed and built at Oulton Broad by the late Fred Newson & the present owner. The ferry can carry up to 3 cars at a time and can carry a maximum weight of 12 tonnes. There has been a crossing at Reedham since the early 17th Century. The ferry boat in 1949 was still being hand-wound across the river yare until early 1950 when the ferry became motorised. The hours of operation are from 7.30AM to 10.00PM Monday to Fridays and 8.00AM to 10.00 Saturdays and Sundays, summer and winter alike.

Trekkers have gathered at this spot to take in the wonder of this spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. A sherpa has written his name in ice on a rail and western travellers continue their journey higher into the Annapurna range to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. Villages partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • One a hot November night, a Sri Lankan Airlines A340-300 series Airbus - registration number 4R-ADE - is bathed in high-intensity floodlights on the apron at Malé international airport in the Republic of the Maldives. Surrounded by passenger steps, servicing vehicles for catering and the loading of baggage and air freight in the below-floor holds, the aircraft is readied for its next flight to Colombo, another journey for this aircraft as it travels across the world's air routes.

  • About to board their Sri Lankan airlines flight to the Maldives, crowds of economy class passengers stand and make an orderly queue when their flight has been called by ground staff at London Heathrow airport England. Lines of people from all nations can be seen reflected in a large window that also overlooks the airport apron where their front-facing Airbus A340-300 aircraft awaits them, its flight-deck crew is seen in the cockpit readying their plane for the long night journey ahead. Catering service trucks are parked alongside the aircraft, loading supplies and all is on schedule from this large intercontinental airport hub to the much smaller island airfield in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the idyllic destination for holidaying Europeans.

  • As blue dawn light brightens to become another wintry day in south London  a commuter awaits the arrival of a distant red bus to climb a slippery hill. Standing by the timetable of the bus stop on Red Post Hill  in the borough of Southwark  traffic approaches slowly on a road that controversially  appears not to have been gritted properly for vehicles to maintain a proper grip on this snowy surface. Headlights point uphill and the freshly-fallen snow has started to freeze so wheel and tyre traction will prove ever-difficult for those trying to journey to work.

  • A male commuter disappears underground after a rail journey terminated at the London Bridge mainline station. Travelling downwards into the London Underground tube system, the man seen as a generic silhouette is seen only from the upper legs and moves against the orange light from the escalator well wall.

  • As a boy swings from a tree, canoeists enjoy a day's paddling down the River Lesse, Belgium's prime kayaking destination  in the southern Ardennes region. At Anseremme, south of the town of Dinant, the adventurers negotiate their way down 21 km of gentle fresh water through the beautiful Belgian gorges and forests. Before plunging down a weir (Barrage in French) near a camp site they are pelted by splashing water from campers in the water. The red canoes have been hired for the day from 'Kayaks Ansiaux' and another rival company who rent blue boats. Families and young people make the slow journey along the Lesse, Paddles match the colours of the canoes and they all glint off a strong afternoon sun during the high-season holiday month. Most commonly routes start in Han and go all the way down to Dinant, where the Lesse meets the Meuse.

  • A man tucks in to his in-flight meal on-board an Air France Boeing 777 flight from Paris Orly to Cayenne, French Guiana. Putting more food into his mouth while watching an in-flight movie, the male passenger has an aisle seat on this airliner. We also see on another seat back, the progress of this journey across the Atlantic Ocean towards the mainland of South America, seen on the moving map system screen which reveals statistics such as altitude, airspeed, distance to destination, distance from origination and local time. Using GPS avionics, the capital Cayenne is seen as the destination as well as Caracas, Georgetown, Kingstown and San Juan in the Caribbean. On the viewer's lowered tray is a light lunch of fruit, natural yoghurt, bread roll, orange juice and empty up. This is the best of Economy class.

  • Londoners seen reflected in multiple plate glass windows on a busy summer lunchtime, in the Square Mile, the capital's historic financial district. As pedestrians walk to and from their surrounding offices, a red London Rouetmaster bus continues its journey on its inner-city route past the vertical columns of steel. A red and white plastic chain barrier prevents them from entering the zone where, above - workers are cleaning an upper floor. The large windows are located on the corner of Cannon Street and Walbrook, both ancient thoroughfares in this ancient city, dating back to before Roman occupation.

  • The outline of a generic airliner passes overhead as it takes-off at London Heathrow airport. With the strong shape of its aerodynamic surfaces, its wings and lowered flaps to gain maximum lift at this sea level atmosphere. The jet's undercarriage wheels are still lowered and the circular jet engines are clearly defined by strong sunlight. The airline operator is anonymous as is the manufacturer of the aircraft as it contunues its journey under blue skies to a faraway destination.

  • "Homo erectus." At the exact moment that a young human being walks for the first time, an eleven month-old girl infant conquers her fear and takes her first tentative upright unaided steps. After months of building lower leg strength by pushing and leaning against household objects, she now leaves the protective hands of a delighted but nervous mother who relishes the joyous moment of her offspring's great achievement. The girl's legs and hips help propel her forward motion, naturally making her an upright bi-pedal species. 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.

  • "More than you can chew." A ten month-old infant uses new teeth to bite her mother's nose in the back garden of their Victorian south London terrace home. The mum winces in pain as the child sinks her new milk teeth into her skin but they enjoy a warm summer afternoon, playfully interacting with each other in a moment of parental love and harmony. The girl wears a short-sleeved t-shirt and has plump arms of baby fat, a healthy sign of a contented infant. 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.

  • "Brave New World." On a maternity ward at Kings College Hospital, London, a tiny new-born baby girl sleeps in her cot at the foot of her mother's bed. We see the mum's legs and feet pointing towards some curtains against which her infant is wrapped in an NHS shawl to keep her snug and warm. But it's Summer and the bedding is ruffled at the bottom to keep the heat down for an exhausted mother comfortable in an otherwise airless room. It is a scene of serenity and safety, at a time when mother and baby are bonding. 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.

  • "Three cylinders of gas and air." A young mother enters the final stage of labour on a labour ward at Kings College Hospital, London. Using the painkiller Pethadine from a cylinder she draws on the mouthpiece to counteract the pain during contractions. A hospital identity tag bearing her name, date of birth and code number is secured to her wrist. She already looks exhausted, tolerating the rythmic stages of birth and she grips tightly a supportive hand. 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.

  • As two city office workers walk briskly towards the viewer, we also see an artwork, a series of statues of commuting people are also striding as one, making their homeward journeys. The two gentlemen however appear to be taking a lunchtime break from their desk jobs and carrying sports holdalls with the 90s sports brand Head, are probably on their way to any number of city-based gyms. They look successful and wealthy, products of a healthy economy and a business culture of bonuses and high prospects of affluence whereas the statues lend a feeing of suppression and the treadmill of their anonymous daily lives as if they were part of some Orwellian society.

  • Having just disembarked from a Carnival Cruise ship at the port of Miami, Florida, two tourists carry and pull their baggage along to a waiting coaches that will transport them for onward journeys. Comically they also wear wide sombrero hats bought in Cancun during their vacation around the Gulf of Mexico, the destination of this popular cruise line whose base is Miami. Stitched with garish colours the souvenirs provide shelter from the overhead tropical sun though the woman of this couple chooses to hang hers over a shoulder and keeps her original hat on her head. This may be the couples' honeymoon or just a special annual holiday away from the kids or a humdrum lifestyle where the weather is far from the intensity of Florida, a favourite resort for Americans not liking foreign travel.

  • In the morning rush-hour, a busy road junction is seen during a snow-shower as traffic builds up at traffic lights and pedestrians to and fro in Dulwich Village, Southwark, South London. Snowflakes can be picked out in car headlights as a lollypop man in fluorescent yellow holds his stop sign to waiting cars, eager to get on with their journeys across the capital during bad weather at the start of 2010, A Mini still has a thick layer of snow on its roof and bonnet (hood) and a number 37 bus to Putney Heath has passengers on its top deck, steamed up in the chilly temperature outside and the warm moisture inside.  On the far right is a grey GATSO traffic camera that flashes those who jump red lights. For those struggling to reach work or school, this is another challenging commuting morning.

  • Near the junction of the 400 to Buckhead, the 401 highway divides and splits during afternoon rush-hour traffic which slows and builds up so that vehicles and cars back-up as they head home and out of Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The inner median is coned off during some construction work which slows the traffic even more. Crossing the 5-lane road comes a train of Atlanta's own mass-transit system, the MARTA network and it approaches the overpass with care. We see the infrastructure of a modern metropolis at the busiest time of day when the exodus to get home puts the roads and feeder lanes under the most pressure. Fortunately, the weather is fine with good visibility making drivers' journeys a little shorter and more tolerable but it shows too America’s habit and dependency on car culture.
