  • A lady protects herself from a mid-day summer summer sun with a brightly coloured parasol brolley. Oblivious to the viewer, she balances her lunch snack on her lap with toes pointing inwards, exposed to the hot solar rays. Meanwhile, she holds on tight to her eager pet poodle dog who is straining on its leash, wanting to go for a walk along the largely unpopulated promenade in this Devon resort, otherwise known as the English Riviera. But splashes of white paint (from the painted beach huts) have been left on the pavement. It is a horrible place to sit in the sun and her partner has left her alone to sit on her sun lounger, leaving the second chair vacant.

  • Friends sheltering from April rains under a spotted umbrella walk past a hoarding featuring a leopard for a reopening Cartier shop in New Bond Street, one of two centres for the jewellery industry in the capital. The coincidental patterns on the leopard and the brolley seem comical. Cartier S.A., commonly known as Cartier is a French jeweller and watch manufacturer. The corporation carries the name of the Cartier family of jewellers whose control ended in 1964. Pierre Camille Cartier opened and managed the London Cartier store in 1902.

  • A young man sits on a sandbank beneath a sun brolley. With legs and feet protruding the man is in the middle of a sand maze constructed for the London Thames Festival, the annual celebration of all things related to London life and culture. The maze has been trodden by pairs of feet to create concentric circles that ultimately lead to the centre. Seen only at low-tide on the river's foreshore near Gabriel's Wharf, the stretch of fine, natural sandy beach is used by Londoners to sample a touch of seaside on fine summer days and was popular with Victorians before the arrivals of railways taking them to the coast. Nowadays the Thames is much cleaner after more stringent environment policies and the sand in some places is pure.

  • A pedestrian is about to step out across a central London street, crossing the words Look Right as a taxi cab turns left. Seen in black and white, we see snowflakes frozen by flash on this urban street corner in the City of London, the heart of the capital's financial district. The stencil words tell walkers to watch oncoming cars, easy to miss when not concentrating and the cause of many injuries (mainly to tourists) to those not used to traffic on the opposite side of the road to the rest of Europe.

  • A lady office worker dashes through a City of London street, the heart of the capital's financial district.

  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying an umbrella, pauses to read the headlines in the London Evening Standard newspaper, before making his way home from Bank Triangle, outside the Bank of England. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a cretain breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing.

  • The Australian character Dame Edna Everage looks over the street from a bus ad to a woman carrying an umbrella during autumnal London showers. In autumnal shower, the capital is dark apart from the bright colour of the brolly and the advertising banner across the side of the double-decker bus. Dame Edna is a character created and performed by Australian dadaist performer and comedian Barry Humphries, famous for her lilac-coloured or "wisteria hue" hair and cat eye glasses or "face furniture," her favourite flower, the gladiolus ("gladdies") and her boisterous greeting: "Hello, Possums!"

  • On the eve of transfer of law in Hong Kong from the UK to China, construction workers in Central Hong Kong carry on their tasks during a monsoonal rain shower on the last day of British rule. Some are dressed in yellow waterproof coats and hard hats, we see a British-style sign warning drivers of Men at Work resembling a man holding an umbrella. Lastly, on the right another man on a wall, also holding an brolley. In the foreground a car park sign states that the space is full in red letters and a local authority sign saying "Working for a better environment" is written in Chinese and English lettering. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to China, referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China.

  • A discarded broken umbrella and a person walking past with a brolley shop bag in Charing Cross Road, central London. Coincidentally, the woman carries a shopping bag for a London branch of Hackett whose logo is a bowler hat and pair of crossed umbrellas, the sign of quality and Britishness. Someone has thrown the item on the ground, partially-collapsed but now forgotten - the remnant of a person's wet day in the capital. Transport continues too and the red London bus edges past in heavy traffic in the borough of Westminster.

  • A lady walks away with an open wallet after taking cash from her local London branch of the Abbey National Building Society. While holding a red umbrella that hides her face, the woman walks away from the cash dispenser and we can see her purse or wallet, open for others to view. The red from her brolley and that of the dispenser’s facia are matching hues so the dominant colour makes the picture’s theme. Cash dispensers in the UK are also called ‘holes in the wall’ and dispense bank notes to high street consumers on demand. The downside is often compromised security when people are unaware of those watching alongside to see PIN numbers and how much money is being taken out.

  • "Crooked Lady." A twelve month-old girl who has recently learned to walk proudly strides past an elderly lady with balancing arms outstretched while at the Dulwich Show in South London. There is a marked difference between the youthful, upright posture of the young girl to the hunched and bent stance of the old woman who stands supporting herself on a brolley. It is a picture that compares youth with old age, the delight that a person of later years shows to a child whose life reaches far ahead. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A woman carries a red umbrella crosses London Bridge in the rain, southwards from the City on the north bank of the river Thames, to Southwark on the southern side. Heavy rain has just fallen on the streets and pavements of London leaving them shiny and wet and with added strong sunshine, the coloured brolley stands out from an otherwise monochrome background. There has been a crossing over the Thames since the Roman era, with successive bridges from modern bridge (1971-), Victorian stone arch (1832-1968), Medieval stone arch (1176-1832) and various wooden bridges (AD50-1176).

  • Bond Street guides holding orange-themed brolleys stand next to two construction site workmen. Mimicking the orange of the umbrellas and that of the hi-vis tabards, we see a coincidental urban scene in the week before Christmas. The guides stand on the street corner available to pass on retail information for visiting buyers as London is eager to encourage the spending of foreign money.

The scene is in Cannon Street in the heart of London's financial centre and oldest historical part of the former Roman walled city dating from the first century.
