  • A portrait of three brothers of the same family have their picture taken outside their parents' home in Westcliff, England. The eldest is a teenager of approximately 17 and  is holding his youngest brother who is still only 12 months-old. The third boy is biting his lip while looking to the viewer, more anxiously than the other two. He is possibly 14 but both the elder lads wear identically-designed jumpers that cut across the throat to allow their clean white shirts and ties to remain visible. Apart from the young child, the elders share the same dark hair colour but genetically, they share one chromosome that has given them heavy eyebrows, a family trait. This was taken on Kodachrome film stock in the spring of 1961 so the look and feel of the image is dated with wonderfully muted colours that this Kodak film offered to consumers in the early 60s.

  • Using a tabloid newspaper, a father seeks shelter from sunshine while sitting in a council deck chair. On the front page of the paper is a headline saying "Butchered' showing a picture of an unfortunate young 3 year-old boy murdered by a maniac axeman. Close-by is the man's own son who is digging a hole furiously in the sand. He looks uncannily like a slightly older version of the murdered boy. This coincidence is heightened because of the body-language of the digging lad, seemingly about to chop an unseen object with his red spade. Both man and boy are on holiday at the northern English seaside resort of Scarborough, North Yorkshire and they are otherwise having a great time on South Beach, near the Grand Hotel building, high up on the cliff.

  • On stage, two beautiful topless girls stand semi-naked with a gentleman admirer during a variety show at the famous Parisian cabaret company Paradis Latin, Paris France. In front of glittery stars, the two ladies of the night are dressed in satin stockings and suspenders, flirting with this male dressed in top hat and tails, holding the hand of one lady and the about to kiss the cheek of the other, all the time lit with stage spotlights and the silhouetted heads of the front row audience at the bottom of the picture. The two girls appear to be twins but are probably wearing blonde wigs to make them look like a male 'Gentlemen prefer blondes' fantasy. (From a story about travelling through 6 European countries by coach in 7 days).

  • We are looking down from above to office and business workers who are lying down and relaxing in the grass in their lunch break at Finsbury Circus, a circular green park space in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market and other animals used for transport. It is a warm afternoon and in the foreground, a man wearing a dark suit has taken off his polished shoes and is lying his head on his jacket in the warm afternoon, loosening his tight tie and stretching his neck. Elsewhere, a lady is sitting eating a packed lunch with the Sun newspaper and a man a little further behind is in jeans and plimsoll shoes. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • Morris dancers from Beorma Border Morris dancing troupe in Kings Heath walk along School Road after visiting a local friend on May Day under Coronavirus lockdown on 1st May 2020 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. These two women from the Beorma Morris are wearing their full costumes including rags and tatters, fishnet tights and feathers, and with distinctive blackened faces. Many morris sides through history blackened their faces, and Blacking up is reputed to have been as some form of disguise because the performers many of whom had jobs in agriculture, were begging, which was both illegal and could bring them shame. If so, the black face must have been a custom that saved face on the part of dancers and audience alike. The Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has put in place more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.
