  • High in the Nepali Himalayan foothills, travellers may be greeted by the welcoming relief of a group of mountain inns and hotels offering lodging to weary legs after many hours walking uphill in this gruelling landscape. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • An elderly homeless man walks slowly past a Barclays Bank cash dispenser at which business people are either queueing or typing in their PIN numbers from cash accounts, or simply passing-by. One middle-aged gent stands eyeing the poor man suspiciously while other men of wealth, prospects and prosperity are tall and stand erect in smart suits and polished shoes, the homeless man is hunched and dishevelled, carrying a supermarket bag - perhaps containing all of his worldly goods. It is a tragic scene of extremes between the haves and the have-nots; the rich and poor; between people with hope and those in despair. This is the City of London, near Fenchurch Street Station where the UK's insurance companies are based and it is impossible to know if any of these men in smart clothes are the same age as the poor man.

  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning. A traveller has emerged from his rudimentary room on the left of this lodge in Nepal to stand outside staring at the spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance.

Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.

  • A hunched, homeless elderly man walks along Fenchurch Street in the City of London while younger and affluent office workers saunter past, smiling and with a care in the world. It is a scene of social class division, the contrasts between wealth and poverty, have and have nots, prospects and no hope for the future and of old age and youth. The old man carries a plastic bag with all his belongings and the workers carry their lunch in a paper bag. They are not only smart and he dishevelled but they stand tall and he is stooped, further proof of the hard, demanding life he leads on the capital's streets.

  • Passers-by ignore a destitute bag lady in a Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui street on the Kowloon side. The poor woman sits amid the bustle and crowds of a capitalist population obsessed with wealth and prosperity, she is alone in a material world. Bent over with shame and poverty, the lady is shrouded in a sleeping bag with all her worldly possessions at her feet. Unconcerned, the rest of the Chinese shoppers and commuters simply pass-by on their way to achieve yet more success in this former British-ruled colony that was ceded back to China in 1997.

  • Qudsia Zohab, member of the Ethnography Department at the Afghan National Museum is single and a student studying literature at Kabul University. In the background is Shirazeden Saifi, Director of Restoration. <br />
<br />
Qudsia says: “The Taliban time was the black period of Afghanistan. It was a jail. I remember the burkha, it was heavy and suffocating. You can only see straight ahead and wearing it made you feel ashamed. One of our relatives didn’t wear the burkha, she was consequently beaten so badly (by the Taliban) that two days later she died - a young woman of only thirty-two. Many women wear burkhas because they are still under the control of their husbands but some because they don’t have to think about what clothes or make-up to wear!

<br />
‘I opened up the Chadri (mesh front of the burkha) to see a tea-cup and suddenly from the back, a Taliban soldier came with a big stick, shouting at me. If you get beaten by a Taliban, you could die. <br />
“I made myself look as old and bad as possible because if  they ( the Taliban) saw you looking even a bit beautiful, they could come to your house and take you as one of their wives”<br />
<br />
“For me having money is dangerous, kidnapping is a big problem. A friend’s uncle was kidnapped; they wanted $150 000, He was so mad he said, ‘I am not paying that he is an old man!’  Eventually they dropped the price and said OK, just cover our fuel and the bribe for the police (30 000 dollars)."
