  • A teenage boy of 15 years of age learns the art of reversing a a small trailer on a family farmstead in north Somerset. While steering the small garden mower, he looks behind him to guage the way the front wheels turn against the rear - gaining experience of how opposite locks on their turning circles change the path of two interlinked vehicles.

  • Two young children experience a little independence during a walk by themselves through a wood near their grandparents' cottage in Somerset, England. Discovering for themselves the delights of childish adventure without the worries of security unfortunately prevalent in the inner-cities. Here in the forest they return home with the sun in their eyes having had the time of their lives. The beech trees' branches are full with leaves on this mid-summer afternoon in this tranquil scene of childhood innocence, of long summer days and summer holidays. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • Young women on a shop hoarding with pedestrians and an elderly couple about to cross Brutoin Street in central London. An image of young and older generations is seen at this busy crossing where young women stand to one side, out for a shopping trip along the fashionable and expensive Bond Street. To their left is an elderly couple who stand separated by a wide distance from the girls - a metaphor for the wide generation gap in Britain today. The young girls live in an age of materialism and wealth while the people from their grandparents' era have survived unanticipated hardship, war and technological changes. In the background are the faces and poses of fashion models whose androgynous looks are as different to the elderly as the females along the street.

  • Zhou Chun Ying 60 is retired. She looks after her grand-daughter Han Lin, 2 in Quixa, Shandong province whilst her parents work in the factories 70 km away. Yan Wei ( Ying's son)  works in a chemical factory whilst her mother, Lin Chun Mei, the daughter-in-law works in a factory producing medical curtains. Despite the policy, there are still too many people and not enough jobs in China which means couples often have to work away and children are looked after by their grandparents. ..Its over thirty years (1978) since the Mao's Chinese government brought in the One Child Policy in a bid to control the world's biggest, growing population. It has been successful, in controlling growth, but has led to other problems. E.G. a gender in-balance with a projected 30 million to many boys babies; Labour shortages and a lack of care for the elderly.
