  • Five elderly women on-lookers are lined against a wall outside the famous Ascot race course on Ladies' Day, the annual event on the English sporting and social calendar in June. Each are standing in order of size, from tallest (who holds a Tesco supermarket bag) to smallest and watch as two posh couples arrive for the day's racing dressed in showy dresses for the ladies and the men in formal top hat and tails. The posh lady in the front is in yellow and holds on to her straw hat on this windy summer day. Each wears their red Ascot badges allowing them entry to this exclusive royal event attended by the Royal Family and the hoi polloi of English society. We see the two sides of the class system but it is a humerous scene. There is good nature between the two groups with smiles exchanged with one couple but discomfort from those behind.

  • Mario Vieu is the owner, director and a broadcaster at Signal FM, a small station in Petion- Ville, Port au Prince. As soon as the earthquake struck he made his way to the Radio station; by accident or design, some one had left Hotel California radio station playing on a loop. His staff were afraid to go in but he managed to persuade some journalists to come and chat about what had happened and has been broadcasting ever since. "We had a minimum of 5000 people outside  all the time for four days (not the same people). We just gave them a microphone  and then broadcasted  messages all day. "We were like a phone with two people but broadcasting to the whole city. People would call in , 'My wife and kids are under the debris  - would you send help?'; afterwards they would come back and say, thank you."

  • 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.

  • Up on the top deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier, parked F/A-18C Hornets and S-3 Vikings on the USS Harry S Truman during its deployment patrol of the no-fly zone at an unknown location in the Persian Gulf. Stacked together in tight formation to fit them all together during a daytime break in operations, the man bends into his task during the hottest time of day. The Truman is the largest and newest of the US Navy's fleet of new generation carriers, a 97,000 ton floating city with a crew of 5,137, 650 are women. The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by the United States, United Kingdom and France after the Gulf War of 1991 to protect humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims.

  • Decorator and part-time chimney sweep Alan Squires prepares to apply another coat of emulsion paint to the exterior walls of a cottage called Burnside in the tiny hamlet of Hallin, Waternish, on the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. With his shadow looming large on the newly-painted off-white pebbledash that is rendered a warm orange in the low sunlight, Alan walks with his long roller after a day's decorating in this beautiful place near Dunvegan. Alan is an Englishman who came to Skye in 1987 for the community spirit. "everybody knows everybody' he says though admits that southerners come from the south in search of an idyllic lifestyle but harsh winters often send them back to warmer climates. Alain's fresh paint therefore needs to dry before winter weather blows in from the Atlantic. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008.

  • A teenage boy tries the sights of a WW2 sten gun during 1995 VE Day 50th anniversary celebrations in London. Picking up the replica weapon, the boy takes aim along the barrel of the gun, pretending to shoot an unseen enemy. Wearing military clothing and a hat with union jack colours plus flag in a back pocket, he plays the soldier at a time of remembrance of those killed during wartime. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Three citizens from the Chinese Special Economic region Hong Kong stand along a vertical banners filled with Chinese characters on a sunny day in Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side in 1995. This is dated two years before the ransfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. But at the time of this picture, these people are still under British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China has still to happen. They are therefore still British subjects, with British passports, living under British law.

  • An early morning regular swimmer swims solitary lengths at Brockwell (Brixton) Lido before crowds arrive. After a 6.30am summer opening time, this Londoner likes to escape the crowds and unwind during a warm spell of weather and before another day of city heat. She swims many lengths of breast stroke (American crawl) in the chilly waters of this unheated pool. The Lido is a magnet, an oasis, for city dwellers to escape, if only for an hour from the pressures of fast urban life. Many enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends. In the centre, a mother helps her young daughter up from the cool morning water before another hot day in August. Brockwell Lido is a large, open-air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994.

  • Halloween pumpkin, London, United Kingdom. Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve, or All Saints Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31st October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints hallows, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns is a popular Halloween tradition that originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland. Back then, however, jack-o-lanterns were made out of turnips or potatoes; it wasnt until Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered the pumpkin that a new Halloween ritual was born.

  • Protest for Fernando Montero outside his old workplace. London, UK. On 17th December 2015, Fernando Montero died following a heart attack. For the last 5 years he was employed as a cleaner by outsourcing giant Servest at the Willis Building, in the City. During this time, he was victim of a destructive workplace culture. His supervisors repeatedly shouted at him in public, refused him the right to use the toilet outside of break time, and failed to grant him annual leave. On the day of his death, Fernando called a friend in a state of distress. Too anxious to return to work, due to the treatment of himself and fellow workers. A few hours later, he was dead. For his wife Francia, the link between workplace stress and his death is straightforward: “He passed away of a heart attack because of the stress brought about by the abuse and bullying of his bosses.”

  • A Buddhist man on silent retreat in a private cabin at the Rivendell Buddhist Retreat Centre, East Sussex, England. As the last light from a summer's day fades into night, the cabin (a converted garden shed), the practicing Buddhist stands against the internal lamp light, pausing to think and contemplate about his life and its meaning. Long grass from a private meadow is for the sole use of someone in retreat, a period of a few days or perhaps a week, separated from the pressures of modern life. Rivendell was once a Victorian country rectory for the local vicar in this East Sussex village, it now houses facilities for the spiritual and the peaceful, having escaped for a brief time, the pressures of modern life. Beyond are two Buddhas on a tapestry and as a statue. The community web address is www.rivendellretreatcentre.com.

Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve, or All Saints Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31st October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints hallows, martyrs, and all the faithful departed. Carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns is a popular Halloween tradition that originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland. Back then, however, jack-o-lanterns were made out of turnips or potatoes; it wasnt until Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered the pumpkin that a new Halloween ritual was born.
