  • 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.

  • The prison nurse takes the blood pressure of an inmate in the prison medical unit. HM Prison Askham Grange is a women's open category prison, located in Askham Richard village in North Yorkshire, England. The prison is run by Her Majesty's Prison Service. Askham Grange accepts adult females and female young offenders, and has space for ten mothers to maintain full-time care of their child or children whilst in custody. Inmates tend to have already served three years or more in other prisons, and are transferred to Askham Grange to complete the last part (maximum three years) of their sentence. Because of this the prisons main focus is the re-integration and re-settlement of prisoners into the community and preparation for life after prison. Accommodation in the prison consists mainly of dormitories, though there are some single rooms. All prisoners in the Mother and Baby unit have their own rooms. The prison's education department mainly concentrates on vocational skills, and many prisoners are given work-placements outside the prison as part of their re-settlement plan.

The oval-shaped picture depicts an esasperated-looking female rolling her eyes to the ceiling while her contemporary below stares down at her laptop surrounded by the paraphernalia of her accounting London job. Dressed in an open-neck shirt and wearing glasses, the woman at work is busy and preoccupied with the job in hand of auditing a company's accounts.

  • We see six office workers silhouetted against the large orange wall of the Credit Lyonnais Bank. They rush to work while one figure stands and talks into his mobile phone, at Broadgate in the City of London, UK. Several figures who are also reduced to black shapes and without detail that may identify them or their clothes, are hurrying in different directions, carrying a bag or briefcase but the feeling of rushing business is seen and their scale is ambiguous becase we don't know how close or far away they are from each other. This is due to telephoto lens forshortening. Some therefore look giants and some appear tiny. Broadgate Estate is a large, 32 acre (129,000 m²) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. It was originally built by Rosehaugh and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s.

  • A female passenger leans forward with head in hands amid the busy terminal at Chicago O'Hare Airport, Illinois, USA. Fellow-travellers in the background appear unworried, waiting for their respective flights in a calm manner. The lady in the foreground's body language however, suggests fatigue and distress and perhaps a fear of flying. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • Visitors stand on ancient graffiti-covered rocks in Saguaro National Park, outside of Tucson Arizona. Saguaro is usually thought of as a Cactus sanctuary but these tourists stand on and clamber over the natural rock formation. The oldest rocks found in the area, although not directly in the park, are granites and metamorphic rocks which represent the original crust of Southern Arizona. These rocks are approximately 1.7 billion years old and belong to an era of geologic time known as the Precambian. The metamorphic rocks are mostly schist

  • The solitary figure of a man stands on the roof of an office building in downtown Atlanta during a victory parade for the city's baseball team. The man may be a security guard, keeping watch over the streets below as crowds gather to honour the Atlanta Braves Baseball team, after their 1995 World Series win. The figure is in his manmade environment and the high walls and windows of the buildings that make up this metropolis dwarf this tiny human who in the scale and perspective of a modern city looks incongruous, isolated and insignificant.

  • A boy soldier collapses on the ground suffering fatigue and dehydration on the rigorous 10-mile march conducted as a squad, over undulatiing terrain with each candidate carrying a bergen (back pack) weighing 35 pounds.(plus water) and a weapon. Three senior trainers help revive the lad with smelling salts who fell under the weight of his backpack and weapon carried on a hot day and without drinking enough fluids. The march must be completed in 1 hour and 50 minutes. This forms part of the 14-week long Pegasus (P) Company selection programme.

  • Beneath the giant, solid pillars of the Bank of England in the heart of London’s financial district – the ancient Square Mile – a man dressed in a traditional pinstripe suit has stopped to make a phone call or check for messages. Halting his journey along this street he has opted to stand in line with a traffic no waiting cone and also near double-yellow lines that restrict parking or stopping. Without the cone or lines this scene would otherwise be without colour - the columns of this financial institution and the pavement (sidewalk) are drab – so the welcome yellow gives this picture more interest. We only see the man from the rear view and so he remains anonymous, a small person set against the scale of a large-scale financial landscape.

  • In the foreground we see the strong forearm of a British army soldier whose blood group O-Negative has been tattooed in large letters beneath an image of a Japanese Geisha girl. He also wears a watch with aq green strap matching his working army fatigues uniform. Behind him are two part-time territorial army conscripts who are sitting on their  army-issued rucksack Bergens awaiting further orders to serve on active duty from Sandhurst military academy to the Balkans during Operation Resolute, the  National Support Element to support NATO action. The dominating figure in the foreground stands upright though we don't see his face. His two conscripts sit on the ground looking dejected or perhaps worried about their forthcoming duties. They are still in civillian clothing, jeans and t-shirts but will soon change into uniform.

  • Wearing a large green helmet with the number 26 painted on the front, a worried-looking black soldier recruit gazes into the distance in front of a white army  instructor at the large Garrison at Catterick, England. Here, the Parachute Regiment (The Paras) - hold part of their famous basic training programme called Pegasus (P) Company. The most notorious selection procedure in the British Army. After initial recruitment, each student is sent to either pass or fail a set of 9 events from which a total score of 90 points is possible. 58% or more passes, less fails. Events like the 18 mile Forced March followed by a further 5 miles can earn 10 points though this will inevitably prove too much for many young man, desperate to pass P Company and earn his prestigious beret (Like the Foreign Legion).

  • Foire Gras and dairy farming family's women experience hardships together during breakfast at their home in Alsace. The Kesslers live on the farm in the quiet village of Boofzheim in Alsace, France. Their business is producing Foie Gras and they raise force-fed ducks near the German border region. The youngest member is their daughter with head in her hands. Beside her, her mother reads the local newspaper by the window and her grandmother who has just served breakfast. The family farm produces the French delicacy called Foie Gras so early mornings and long days are required.
