  • Looking upwards towards the back of a number 8 red London bus which passes the pillars of the famous Bank of England building at Cornhill in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. We see the Bank rising as an imposing classical structure. Its columns are converging because of wide-angle lens-distortion, giving us the image of strength, stability and influence in UK economics. The bus is a traditional design called a Routemaster which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes. Its distinctive rounded rear bodywork is easily recognisable as that classic British icon.

  • Two US Navy sailors walk past the statue of first President George Washington outside the Federal Hall National Memorial on Wall Street, New York City. A male and female personnel walk past this famous American landmark to see for themselves the site of many a notorious economic boom and crash. Federal Hall, built in 1700 as New York's City Hall, later served as the first capitol building of the United States of America under the Constitution, and was the site of George Washington's inauguration as the first President of the United States. It was also where the United States Bill of Rights was introduced in the First Congress. The building was demolished in 1812.

  • A closed DVD rental shop in south London has gone bust, a victim of the UK's economic climate. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

Passing the prominent signs that bear the name of Quirk Deakin, a local estate agent in the industrial towns of south Essex and the Thames Gateway, is the location for dramatic increases of new housing developments. Both the parents and their daughter look depressed in this time of economic recession, when families are having their homes repossessed after defaulting on mortgage repayments. It is a bright summer day in Grays, east of the capital, just outside of the M25 orbital motorway and on the Thames river.

  • An aerial view of Central Macau, looking down on the ex-Portuguese colony including its Chinese Christian cemetery of San Miguel. Macau is now administered by China as a Special Economic Region (SER). Taken from a tall apartment block that overloooks the Rua do Almirant e Costa Cabral, we can view the tightly-packed cities of one of the most densely-populated connurbations in the world, this area is a packed warren of houses, businesses and tower blocks, home to a population of mainland 95% Chinese, primarily Cantonese, Fujianese as well as some Hakka, Shanghainese and overseas Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The remainder are of Portuguese or mixed Chinese-Portuguese ancestry, the so-called Macanese, as well as several thousand Filipino and Thai nationals. The official languages are Portuguese and Chinese. The Macau Special Administrative Region, more commonly known as Macau or Macao is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover. Macao's gambling revenue in 2006 weighed in at a massive £3.6bn - about £100m more than Las Vegas.

  • On the very last day of British rule over its Hong Kong colony, we see two groups representing this colonial territory's population. Commuters walk through Chater Garden about to pass another group of older exercise class. Towering above them all is the Bank of China skyscraper, then the tallest building in Asia, As the last hours tick away before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight of that day signified the end of British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Almost 7 million people call a territory of 1100 sq km home, squeezing onto only 10% of the available land space. This is a metropolis of high population density and one of the world's economic powerhouses.

  • A mannequin of Santa Claus peers between Sale signs in garden retail centre in north Somerset, England. The inflated model is squeezed between the two red signs that tell shoppers to this rural shop to Enjoy the Good Life and that a Christmas sale is in force, the day after Boxing Day, the 27th December. Sale reductions and the lowering of prices are the lure for customers who need to beat the raising by the British Government of VAT (Value Added Tax) from 17.5 to 20% the following week - 4th January. Bargains will be offered at the old VAT rate making this the most popular of the holiday period to save during economic hardship.

  • The words 'Closing Party' are almost obscured by fly-posters on a closed shop window, the victim of the economic recession. Only the remnants of the poster glue have left the traces of sheets of paper on the window, making for an almost abstract landscape of urban decay. Few clues remain of the shop's former business model though it might be assumed it was once a cafe as we see many chairs at a table. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • A giant billboard describes the more traditional China - when the main mode of transport was the bicycle and Hong Kong was still a British colony. The reality underneath is a megacity on a scale of a megapolis. Cars pass-by and consumer goods are on ads in the distance. <br />
Shenzhen is a major city in the south of Southern China's Guangdong Province, situated immediately north of Hong Kong. The area became China's first—and one of the most successful—Special Economic Zones (SEZs). It currently also holds sub-provincial administrative status, with powers slightly less than a province. Shenzhen was  named in 2012 as one of the 13 emerging megalopolises in China with a population of 10.3 million.

  • A Sun newspaper reader sits in the sunshine, below a statue in Threadneedle Street with the Bank of England to the left. We look upwards to the young man who wears a red shirt, all-typifying the Working Man in an English society still obsessed with class and status. This in front of the famous Bank of England in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. With such a wide-angle perspective the bank and its architecture looks powerful and influential in the UK's economy. There is a mixture of architectural eras here, with Sir John Soane's building legacy still a strong economic statement. The Sun is one of Britain's tabloid papers, selling over 3 million copies to mainly working class Britons, with a bias towards the young British male.

  • Two Georgian men play cards while waiting for passing trade during an outdoor yard sale in an Atlanta suburb. The male friends sit on old chairs at a table surrounded by furniture from a nearby home. Chairs, units, cabinets, sofa seats, and music centres sit on the ground on which autumn leaves still lie on roadside grass. Perhaps out of economic necessity or merely to clear space in someone's home, the possessions need to be sold to passers-by, drivers on a road in this suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

  • A parked Smart car recharges electric power at an EDF charging point in central London. Its yellow coiled cable stretching from charging point to car. Source London is now the capital’s largest charging network. It has significantly boosted existing numbers of charge points operated by a range of different localised schemes. By 2013, Source London will total at least 1,300 charge points, more than the number of petrol stations currently in London, ensuring the infrastructure is in place for significantly more people and businesses to buy an electric vehicle. The creation of an electric vehicle network is in line with the Mayor’s pledge to promote quality of life by reducing pollution and CO2 emissions.
