  • Identical and eccentric twin sisters wait for buses at a stop's shelter in central Brussels. Dressed almost identically too, with matching lipstick, shoes and sports trousers, the pair look towards oncoming traffic making sure they don’t miss their bus home from central Brussels to a suburb. The eccentric pair has adopted the same posture in a way that twins and sisters sharing the same genetic characteristics and habits often do.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, eccentric New Yorkers gather at the city's Armory to offer help and support by handing our fluffy bunnies to passers-by. The streets between 66th and 67th Streets, in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, DNA samples were taken at the Armory so human remains might be identified. It was therefore a point of focus for those with missing relatives who attached thousands of posters to walls with pictures and messages to loved-ones in the hope of being reunited. Emotions were running high and many citizens offered spiritual aide such as food and drink. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and unity.

  • Two sisters sit in identical poses on sea wall benches at Blackpool's Promenade, Lancashire, England.

  • Dressing up for carnival is common, but some are more eccentric than others. Notting Hill Carnival in West London. A celebration of West Indian / Caribbean culture and Europe's largest street party, festival and parade. Revellers come in their hundreds of thousands to have fun, dance, drink and let go in the brilliant atmosphere. It is led by members of the West Indian / Caribbrean community, particularly the Trinidadian and Tobagonian British population, many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past and centres around a parade of floats, dancers and sound systems.

  • An elderly lady lies oddly on the grass surrounded by crowd of Britons out in Hyde Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. As if awoken and surprised at being surrounded by a melee of people, the eccentric woman gives a disapproving stare at a passer-by. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Virgin Chairman Sir Richard Branson performs in front of the media during a publicity launch of Virgin Atlantic's new Airbus A340-600 which is parked behind the business tycoon during the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire, England. He stands on one leg in a typically eccentric aviation-owner balancing trick. Behind him near the aircraft's nose a Virgin 'babe' echoes his outstretched arms while flying the British Union Jack flag. Farnborough centres its presence on big aerospace business to the tune of $40bn in orders and industry leaders like Branson, Boeing and Airbus parade their brands and announce new orders throughout the week-long display. 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.

  • Taking notes from an air band receiving radio, plane spotters log aircraft serial numbers and other details in notebooks near their perimeter fence at London's Heathrow airport. A large man has a pair of binoculars and an old SLR film camera and leans against his Peugeot car's bonnet (hood) to record the obsessive facts about airliners that pass overhead as they approach the runways of West London. His fellow-aviation enthusiast checks the radio that transmits the voices of pilots and air traffic controllers. In Britain, plane spotters are regarded as eccentric and sad but not trespassers. Some have been accused of spying near foreign military airfields.

  • With his personal belongings and beach shingle surrounding him, a man sits on his seaside towel in soft sunlight in Dover eating a snack which is dribbling out of his mouth. The skin from many previous hours of exposure to solar radiation has left him raw and sunburned and therefore dried and dying skin is peeling in shreds on his back and shoulder. He looks like an eccentric local character who seems oblivious to the health risks that his continued sunbathing is inflicting on his bizarrely scorched body.

  • An elderly and eccentric couple sit on a park bench in the French Mediterranean resort of Juan-les-Pins near Antibes, with their own pet dog on a lead while watching an Afghan Hound which struts past in a showy manner. The shaggy Afghan's coat resembles the colour of the lady's own pet and the texture of her own coat. It is around mid-day and looks warm but the couple are dressed for deepest winter, oblivious to the warm sunshine. The hairy Afghan strides ceremoniously and with great style, while the small pooch on the peoples' lead looks nervous and uncomfortable. Juan-les-Pins is a town in the commune of Antibes, in the Alpes-Maritimes, in southeastern France, on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur).

They wear tights and a girl on the left has safety pins while being licked on the neck by a man. Another is wearing a Union Jack sleeveless T-shirt while one person is looking directly at the camera. They might look authentic but it has been 20 years since Punk was the huge youth culture of the day.

We look down on the grass which is still green and lush  on this summer's day in the heart of the city. He is wearing a flat cap with trousers (pants)  tucked in his socks for his next bicycle journey. He is a quintissentially English sunbather enjoying a quiet snooze in a public park open space.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

Grinning and looking smug in their upp-class social status, they are seated eccentrically and comically around a plastic table with a tablecloth, two Candelabras and their picnic lunch plates full of fine food.

  • Two men enjoy their own versions of Blackpool North Pier, Lancashire, England. On the right, the first man is lying down on a bench with his trousers gathered around his ankles, his red bathing costume or underpants are baggy and he is looking across to something of interest while scratching his bald head. The second man on the right is not wearing a shirt and his stomach is spilling over his trousers. He has a bunch of keys attached to his belt and is pointing a video camera (camcorder) towards the shore. It is a comical scene and typical of Blackpool beach life. This northern sea side resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

To explore, leave the map at home and find yourself. To find that one moment and make it last a lifetime. That time is now. Sunrise to sunset. Sunset to sunrise. This is the time of your life. Love every single second of it."
