  • Baggage belonging to a British Airways Concorde crew is lined up beneath their aircraft after arriving at Oshkosh Air Venture, the world’s largest air show in Wisconsin USA. Twelve cases match 12 of Concorde's tiny windows and some of the crowd either take shelter from the sun or walk around the supersonic jet in awe of this engineering marvel. Their baggage is lined up beneath the aircraft during its visit to this huge show in Wisconsin, USA. Close to a million populate the mass fly-in over the week, a pilgrimage worshipping all aspects of flight. The event annually generates $85 million in revenue over a 25 mile radius from Oshkosh. 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.

  • From a very low viewpoint, we see crowds of British citizens who to and fro beneath the Gothic tower of Big Ben in Parliament Square, London at almost 10 minutes past 2pm . Lots of people squeeze past each other during the closing stages of London's Marathon as the pavements is narrower when crowd barriers control numbers. A young lady finds her way through other passers-by as the clock tower rises at an angle, the perspective of the wide-angle lens' distortion. The female's t-shirt has a woman's face from the xx clothing brand. This is also election time and the people are subject to the democratic process as they elect an new leader to govern the state.

Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men are shovel the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with the The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles (720 km) of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles (21,000 km) of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • Tourist visitors sit beneath and walk past the columns of London's British Museum. Above them and between pillars is a giant poster called Head of a Woman (1470s) by Andrea del Verrocchio born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, an Italian sculptor, goldsmith  and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino and Lorenzo di Credi, but he also influenced Michelangelo. The British Museum's collection of Italian Renaissance drawings is so fragile that its masterpieces are exhibited only once in a generation. About half of the works came from Florence in partnership with the Uffizi and sponsored by BP (British Petroleum). The 100 or so works span the period 1400-1510 by artists including Jacopo and Gentile Bellini, Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Mantegna, Michelangelo and Raphael.

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on September 11th we see a member of the National Guard wearing a dust mask while standing with his German Shepherd Alsatian dog beneath the high columns of the Federal Hall, located in Wall Street. It was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington's first inauguration in 1789 whose statue stands above. It is also the place where the United States Bill of Rights was passed. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. Days after the historical events, security was prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.

  • A local woman walks past an effigy of Jesus Christ encased in a shrine box outside a Catholic church in Camberwell, south London. The lady passes beneath the dominating figure that stands above the pavement. Encased in a glass-sided box and behind what resembles yellow garden fencing, the Christian idol stands with outstretched arms, a traditional figure for Catholics to practice idolatry. The church walls are constructed from red brick, in a style much-seen in industrial buildings.

  • An elderly lady makes her way from her community village Memorial Hall which she has been volunteering this winter morning as part of a charity funds raising event. The lady might be old and frail but her spirit is such that she still finds the time to integrate into community life and remains active despite her years. Walking beneath the wrought-iron sign in Cleeve Prior, Worcestershire, she edges under tentatively to make her way home wearing a quilted coat and her wedding ring on her gnarled hands. A chilly late-morning sun shines across the architecture of the building and this is the look of a lady happy with her morning's activities with fellow parishioners.

  • Thames Water Utilities sewer cleaning team inspects the Fleet River's Victorian-built storm sewer of Blackfriars, beneath the streets of the City of London. Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men are shovelling the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles (720 km) of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles (21,000 km) of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • The Australian born Oxford University veteran rower James Ditzell helps prepare his boat for the team, many of whom are only 19. At 45 James is currently the oldest ever rower in the history of the boat race. He trains with the rest of his squad on the Thames from Putney in West London under race conditions, hoping that as race day (April 6th 2012), his times are good enough for a seat in one of two of Oxford boats. First raced in 1829 the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge unbiversities is one of the oldest sporting events in the world. It is nowadays watched by thousands along the banks of The Thames Tideway, between Putney and Mortlake in London and by millions more on TV around the world.

A chic man and woman from the sixties (1960s) stand with all the confidence of the style of a previous era with a landscape of the Mediterranean with its azure blue waters. But the reality of 2011 south London is a far removed from the utopia on the ad. Fly tipping has added to the already untidy pavement (sidewalk) also blocking pedestrian access. Wheelie bins and plastic bags of rubbish attract vermin and poor hygiene and the council workmen will soon appear to once again clear away the mess - before another pile appears.
