  • Tourists lunge over the original 4th century start/finish line in the stadium at Olympia. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet - or Stadion - from which we get the word 'stadium'. On the grassy bank in the background is where the seating once accommodated the many sporting pilgrims who travelled to this place from all over Greece during agreed truces in the weeks of the Olympic festival. The 29th Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • A masked youth is seen after spraying graffiti art on to a wall in the Notting Hill area of West London, England. We see his partially-obscured face while holding a spray can in one hand. It is a chilly night and the boy's breath is seen against the frosty night air. His graffiti art has taken him some hours to spray on this white wall and shows a glossy finish. The picture is anonymous because of the young man's face is unseen and generic, because we don't see where the wall might be located.

  • One man is acclaimed the world over and is synonymous with making hand-carved puppets - Bryan Clarke. He is Chairman of the British Punch & Judy Fellowship and has been a professional Punch & Judy man for well over 50 years, making and supplying puppets from his workshop near Lowestoft on the east coast of England for the last 30 years. Hundreds of Punch & Judy performers throughout the UK and overseas use Bryan's puppets and some are seen here in various stages of production - some finished and hanging from this shed roof while in front of this talented artist, we see blocks of wood still being shaped into the familiar characters that children the world over recognise as Mr Punch and other figures. Mr Clarke smiles at the view in this relaxed portrait taken in 1992.

  • A Polish man leans over to put the finishing touches to two small snowmen that now occupy a park bench on Goose Green in East Dulwich, Southwark, South London, England. This otherwise green space has seen snow falls that have gripped this part of the capital with unsalted road surfaces and commuting nightmares. But this young man is having fun with his diminutive snowy creations who have been dressed up in his and a friend's glasses, their scarves and gloves and with locally-found twigs. The park is relatively quiet with only a hint of the chaos elsewhere but the time spent on pointless pursuits is one way of enjoying adverse weather, rather than the more serious business of getting to work, proving also that snow brings out the childish nature in us all.
