  • Military parade through the streets of Blantyre, Malawi in the mid-1960s. Seen from the roof of an adjacent building (possibly the roof of the Standard Chartered Bank) we see the marching personnel of military soldiers making their way along mainstreet while under the dictatorship of Dr Hastings Banda, this central African state's ruler from 1961-1994. Parading alongside their flag, the troops file past families and other spectators who have stopped to watch this spectacle.

  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

There is a lush tropical garden behind belonging to an unknown owner in the African Malawi town.
