  • Mrs Farzana Samimi on her talk show ‘Banuî with psychiatrist, Mohammed Yasin Babrak.<br />
<br />
Farzana’s show centres on problems faced by Afghan women - largely a taboo subject. Currently, for security reasons guests have to talk by phone: “I remember one guest - a young girl -  who was forced ( by her parents) to marry.” Says Farzana. “But because she came on TV, her parents threatened to kill her”.  <br />
<br />
 One of Farzana’s colleagues was shot dead by unknown gunmen in Kabul in May 2005 and Farzana’s  husband wants her to stop presenting but she says:  “The show is very important. For a lot of women, their only source of help is from the TV.”<br />
A survey of women in Kabul found that 98 percent suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic depression or severe anxiety. Dr Babrak, Farzana’s co presenter says. “Most women who come to me suffer from mood swings and schizophrenia," <br />
 Farzana can empathize: “During the Taliban I was depressed and I am still traumatised. It took me two years after the collapse of the Taliban to stop wearing the burkha. Educated women wouldn’t come out on the streets even after the Taliban fell. But gradually women got more courage and things are changing.”

Qudsia says: “The Taliban time was the black period of Afghanistan. It was a jail. I remember the burkha, it was heavy and suffocating. You can only see straight ahead and wearing it made you feel ashamed. One of our relatives didn’t wear the burkha, she was consequently beaten so badly (by the Taliban) that two days later she died - a young woman of only thirty-two. Many women wear burkhas because they are still under the control of their husbands but some because they don’t have to think about what clothes or make-up to wear!

  • May Day custom of Deptford Jack in the Green, a man encased in a framework entirely covered with greenery, is one of the lesser-known modern revivals by the Blackheath Morris Men of English traditional customs on May 1st 2016 in London, United Kingdom. In the Dog and Bell pub a woman dresses her hat with fresh Spring flowers. Fowlers Troop Jack in the Green was revived in the early 1980s. Originally a revival from about 1906, it developed from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade, decorated with garlands of flowers and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads. By the mid eighteenth century other groups, notably chimney sweeps, were moving in on the milkmaids territory as they saw May Day as a good opportunity to collect money, so carried a Jack in the Green. Over the last 25 years several popular festivals have grown up around the Jack in the Green tradition. Deptford Jack in the Green is not very widely known although it has been running since the early 1980s.

  • Taking a break from the London Marathon, a young runner dressed as Superman emerges from a Portaloo after a quick toilet stop. Located at the London Fire Brigade's station on Lower Thames Street in City of London in the capital's historic financial district, their empty fire hose snakes across the ground. The young man wears trainers, a red skirt, a Super-hero top with the Superman emblem on his chest and he walks out of the portable convenience adjusting a green frizzy wig. Disgarded mineral water bottles have been thrown on the ground by other passing athletes but this is a theatrical pun, that Superman changes personality, name and powers when leaving a telephone box. Apart from the colour (color) of the toilet, the runner and the hose, the background is drab and overcast.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

The drinks from these branded bottles have been consumed at airport terminal buildings and other BAA property and the man dressed in a fluorescent safety jacket scrapes the containers in readiness for transportation to another facility. The picture is an upright and with such a wide-angle view, we see the bottles stretching from the closest to the lens to the far end of the compartment in a mound of materials destined for a machine that will crush and transform them into new glass.

  • 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.

  • High up in the picture, two employees (one in traditional Arab clothes, the other in western dress) of Bahrain International Airport stand on the edge of a passenger 'air bridge' to oversee the departure of an airliner at Bahrain International Airport as it is pushed back by an unseen airport vehicle. It is night time and the ramp (or aircraft parking tarmac) is illuminated by yellow artificial light with the bridge itself, lit my overhead fluorescent tubes that give a blue-green tint above the mens' heads who watch the nose of a departing airliner. It is slowly taken backwards on its way to the runway take-off  position with its passengers on-board. We see only the fuselage, wings and part of its engine cowlings but not the undercarriage wheels, nor the ground itself. The men look as if they are floating in mid-air, being disembodied from the rest of the airfield's equipment.

  • A little boy wearing a blue jump suit stands on the pavement outside his house holding the handlebars of a favourite matching blue coloured tricycle. He looks upwards towards the viewer slightly bemused about having his picture taken by his father who looks down from a standing position. Meanwhile, the boys sister towers above him dressed in a bright red coat and clean white gloves and short white socks. Alongside her is a friend also wearing gloves and a knee-length skirt but we see only their lower bodies and not their faces so they are unrecognisable - an older sibling and a girl friend. It is the summer of 1960 and while the red is vibrant, the blues and greens are more muted in this Kodachrome film which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look
