  • A driver in his gas-guzzling car and in the background, the skyline of downtown Atlanta. Stopped at a traffic light with the cityscape of this American metropolis is the motorist who looks across the road into bright sunshine. We see beyond the long bonnet (hood) of this car the signs for downtown Atlanta and surrounding neighbourhoods such as Macon and Montgomery. According to the 2010 census, Atlanta's population is 420,003 and is a cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, which is home to 5,268,860 people and is the ninth largest in the US.

  • A confusing pair of street signs showing two of the 71 Peachtree street and road names known in Atlanta. It is often joked that half of the streets in Atlanta are named Peachtree, and the other half have five names to make up for it. While "Peachtree" alone always refers to this street, there are 71 streets in Atlanta with a variant of "Peachtree" in their name. The first Peachtree was a Creek Indian village on the Chattahoochee River called Standing Peachtree. An army outpost built nearby took the name Fort Peachtree. From this has come a forest of Peachtrees. In Margaret Mitchell's epic Civil War romance Gone With the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara lives on various points of Peachtree Street along the novel.

  • Vertical view of downtown Atlanta with street glowing lights, tall office buildings, blurred traffic and fluttering US flag. Viewed from street level, we look along a main street in this American metropolis to see a city going from daylight to nighttime. Cars wait at traffic lights and a No Left Turn sign tells drivers not to break the law - some streetlights are already lit while others have yet to turn themselves on with automated sensors. According to the 2010 census, Atlanta's population is 420,003 and is a cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, which is home to 5,268,860 people and is the ninth largest in the US.

  • Visitors enter the Coca-Cola corporate museum in the company's Atlanta headquarters. Beneath a giant corporate sign encased in a spherical design, the family of parents and young children enter the building near the 1996 Olympic stadium. Small square windows allow small amounts of light into this museum, a tribute and celebration to this American fizzy drink known around the world. Originally intended as a patent medicine when Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation in 1886, John Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, essentially a non-alcoholic version of French Wine Coca. The first sales were at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886.

  • 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.

  • Two Georgian men play cards while waiting for passing trade during an outdoor yard sale in an Atlanta suburb. The male friends sit on old chairs at a table surrounded by furniture from a nearby home. Chairs, units, cabinets, sofa seats, and music centres sit on the ground on which autumn leaves still lie on roadside grass. Perhaps out of economic necessity or merely to clear space in someone's home, the possessions need to be sold to passers-by, drivers on a road in this suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

  • 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.

Standing between the medical staff that have been called to assist him and determine whether he needs treatment, the man looks dazed and confused, unsure where he is and what has happened to him. He wears a red sports jacket and the blood from a facial would have dripped and spattered his shirt underneath. The streets of Atlanta are dark in this neighbourhood, used to violence among the homeless and those dependent on alcohol.

  • In evening city mist, a car park attendant stands guard over his downtown Atlanta parking lot. Next to him is a giant billboard for Marlboro with the classic face of the Marlboro cowboy, depicted drawing on a cigarette and wearing the traditional wide-brimmed stetson. They are low in the frame and the gloomy and eerie mist sits oppressively around the tall buildings, obscuring their top floors. Office lights still burn and a bright street light shines with the intensity of a small solar flare. The Marlboro Man is part of a tobacco advertising campaign for Marlboro cigarettes. The Marlboro Man was first conceived by the Leo Burnett agency in 1954. The image involves a rugged cowboy or cowboys, in nature with only a cigarette.
