  • Presidential Bodyguard soldier in early morning dust and mist filled horsemanship practice, consisting of jumping, daredevil riding and other such activities at the PBG's barrack training grounds. This a regular activity as it requires the riders to perfect their horse riding skills and maneuvers for their official duties at ceremonial events.  The PBG is the Indian Army's preeminent regiment founded in 1773 during the British occupation, this handpicked unit began with a mere 50 men and today stands at 160 soldiers plus 50 support staff. It has a dual role, both as a ceremonial guard for the President of India, with all its finery at important state functions, as well as an elite operational unit for the Indian Army which has seen action in many battle fronts, in particular the on going disputed region of Kashmir.

  • 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.

With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas.  These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.

Total damage after this al-Qaeda plot has been put at $100 billion including: the loss of four civilian aircraft, buildings, the Pentagon, cleanup, property and infrastructure. emergency funds, job losses, unrecoverable property, insurance and air traffic revenue.

  • As the Statten Island ferry nears the business district and skyscrapers of Manhattan Island, a New York City Police Department (NYPD) police officer stands guard at the very front (the bow) of the boat. It is approximately ten days after the 9/11 attacks and with pistol safely holstered and arms folded, he can see the settling dust from Ground Zero beyond the safety chain, where the Twin Towers once stood. It is a bright day and behind the policeman, commuters are already returning to work because normality is a priority for those affected by disruption and fear.

  • Seen from the air at dawn, dozens of F-4 Phantom fighters from the Cold War-era are laid out in grids across the arid desert at Davis-Monthan Air Forbe Base near Tucson Arizona. These retired aircraft whose air frames are too old for flight are being stored then recycled, their aluminium worth more than their sum total at this repository for old military fighter and bomber aircraft. They sit in neat rows in low light, their shadowy wings are blue in colour but their fuselage are stripped of markings, being taped up against the dust. This is a scene of once-great flying machines relegated to sad scrap, long-after the Soviet Union's own demise when western armies fought a war of propaganda.

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on the World Trade Center on Septmber 11th we see a dust-filled haze on Wall Street to where city financiers returned to their office desks to find their city skyline missing the Twin Towers and Manhattan in a state of perpetual shock and still under a mist of smoke from the debris at Ground Zero. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. An American flag hangs and a banner for 48 Wall Street, known as the Bank of New York Building (built in 1928 on land used by the bank since 1797), on the corner of Wall Street and William Street in New York City's Financial District.
