  • Severley disabled man sleeping beside his wheelchair on the streets against a graffitied wall. Disadvantaged people on the streets in the area of Omonia. Just moments after these pictures were taken, a junkie came up and stole a 1 Euro coin from the sleeping mans hand. A clear sign of the desperation on the streets here. In this area the amount of ill, disabled, badly injured, or sick people either begging or sleeping on the streets is staggering. The area has been taken over by drug dealers, homeless people, and prostitution. Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • 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.

  • Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. There is an older, taller white teenage girl with blonde hair dressed in a blue shell-suit and a shorter and younger friend of Asian-descent. Looking suspicious and amused at something across the cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, home to deprived families. The industrial action aginst the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Mothers swing a child across a filthy puddle in the town of Nova Huta, an industrial Stalinist steel town in southern Poland. In filthy this industrial street, three street urchins watch the colourfully-dressed girls pass-by. It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. After the Second World War, Stalin decided to build an industrial Communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town named Nowa Huta - New Steel Mill. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks. But Solidarity grew strong forcing strikes over pay and recognition over their union. Today, it is an economic and ecological disaster area.

  • A wide landscape of dereliction and poverty during the early 1990s in the city of Liverpool, England. The Liver building is seen in the far distance as a symbol of the city centre beyond an empty street up which a solitary man walks his dog. Empty buildings await destruction after the terraced housing has long been razed to the ground in the 1960s - the impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere.

  • A low, wide landscape of dereliction and poverty during the early 1990s in the city of Liverpool, England. The Catholic cathedral rises high in the distance over near-empty streets where bricks and refuse litter the pavements and empty buildings await destruction - the impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere.

  • 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.

Adding to this mountain of refuse, the 'Scouse' man (someone from Liverpool) is seen surrounded by black binliners and items from domestic homes which have been allocated this public space to become a temporary landfill.

  • Children play in a desolate street in the town of Nova Huta. Amid the filthy walls of their tenement building home and of the grim, car less street beyond, two older children play in their doorway while younger friends peer from around a corner. It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. The famous steel works can be seen at the end of the street. After the war, Stalin decided to build an ideological communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nova Huta. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks.

After the war, Stalin decided to build an industrial Communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nowa Huta  - or, the new steel mill. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks. But Solidarity grew strong forcing strikes over pay and recognition over their union. Today, it is an economic and ecological disaster area.

  • 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.

  • Children play in a desolate street in the town of Nova Huta. Amid the filthy walls of their tenement building home and of the grim, car less street beyond, two older children play in their doorway while younger friends peer from around a corner. It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. The famous steel works can be seen st the end of the street. After the war, Stalin decided to build an ideological communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nova Huta. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks.

  • Poor terraced housing and alleyway in Liverpool with black refuse bags left against poor housing brick walls. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmen’s' strike of 1991, we see a cobbled alley of 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, and home to deprived families. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • A filthy alleyway in Toxteth, Liverpool amid socially-deprived streets and terraced housing. Graffiti of girls' names has been painted on to the brick wall of a tenement building but is now peeling off. Weeds have grown around the cobbled pavement and the windows are boarded up in a landscape of urban dereliction and social depravity.

  • Two young ‘Scouse' girls sit on a telephone junction box and against a brick wall on which there is graffiti and childish scribbles. They are near a back alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The older, taller girl is of Asian-descent and the younger is White British who hides her face with her top. Both are facing other activity in this inner-city street where there are 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre and home to deprived families. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • A low, wide landscape of dereliction and poverty during the early 1990s in the city of Liverpool, England. The Catholic cathedral rises high in the distance over near-empty streets where bricks and refuse litter the pavements and empty buildings await destruction - the impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere.

  • A young girl of Asian descent pushes her doll in a pushchair uphill in an empty terraced Dingle Liverpool street. Walking up the steep pavement she pauses to look at the viewer in her pink dress. There is no-one else in the landscape and the little girl is quite alone in this inner-city scene. Dingle (known locally as the Dingle) is an inner-city area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is located to the south of the city, bordered by the adjoining districts of Toxteth and Aigburth. At the 2001 Census, the population was recorded at 13,246. Dingle is the last of the southern inner-city districts of Liverpool.

  • As a young office worker sleeps incongruously on a marble pavement, a street sweeper nearby brushes away litter with a small dustpan. The manual labourer wears blue overalls, yellow gloves and keys in his back pocket while the man in a wastecoat and smart trousers and polished slip-on shoes appears to be fast asleep, his fingers across his chest. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-demanding job of a man whose life has been spent cleaning and sweeping. English social differences is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus a lazy youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • British-born Flight Nurse Barbara Thompson listens to a Native American patient’s breathing in the ER at the San Carlos Apache reservation hospital. British-born Barbara has worked as a nurse in the UK and US for 20 years and listens to her patient’s lungs with a stethoscope as they poor lady lays back on a gurney with an oxygen line to help her difficulties. San Carlos is a 1.8m acre area of scrub and tiny settlements 100 miles east of Phoenix, Arizona with an 11,000 population, its hospital attracting patients from a radius of 20 miles. By flying her she can have far better specialist care at the Indian Medical Center in Phoenix than can be provided in San Carlos who have only a few doctors and four beds. Native American Air Ambulance (NAAA) is the brainchild of Okalahoma native Cherokee Rick Heape Williams.

  • A low, wide landscape of dereliction and poverty on a Toxteth estate during the early 1990s in the city of Liverpool, England. With a crumbling brick wall now fallen on to long grass in the foreground and in the distance, the remains of former homes with gaping holes in roofs, now derelict and awaiting demolition now that all residents have left, their community dispersed to other nearby estates, an impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere.

  • A solitary person walks over wasteland in Liverpool, England, left after housing was demolished decades ago - its impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere. the sign tells us the name of this road but paint has been daubed over it in an attempt perhaps, to erase its identity now that the community has gone too. Billboards for consumer goods are on show for  non-existent shoppers.

  • The message in graffiti lettering "Don't come here they attack you" has been written on a wall outside a house in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, Merseyside England. Flat 1A has a bright red-painted door and red bricks in an otherwise poverty-stricken district of this poor inner-city where crime and social deprivation has become the normal way of life for Scouses (someone from Liverpool). We see the red theme carried throughout this image of threat and ill-discipline where survival is clearly hard. These 'back to back' terraced houses have largely been demolished during Liverpool's regeneration during the 60s and 70s though some remain, accommodating unfortunate families on low-income.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • Queen Elizabeth makes a brief visit to the Ebony Horse Club at Loughborough Junction, Brixton, London. Accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, Her Majesty watched an equestrian demonstration in one of the most disadvantaged inner city neighbourhoods in the country where there is a historic legacy of under-achievement in schools, high rates of teenage pregnancy and negative stereotypes of young people, gang violence and drug related crime.
