  • It is dawn in Calcutta, West Bengal, India and on the West bank of the Hooghly River the sun is rising from across the Howrah Bridge. The working day is beginning for this pedestrian seen carrying a large, heavy tank full of liquids, possibly on his way to market or a shop in Central Calcutta. Steady, he balances it weight though he can barely stretch up to grip the carrying handles. The bridge's engineering stretches across the water as the humanity cross to their businesses and markets. The British-built bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. Bearing the daily weight of approximately 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in the world. The Hooghly River is an approximately 260 km long distributary of the Ganges River.

  • On a brick wall is a painted red hand that grips an Armalite automatic weapon which has been painted on to a street wall of a house off the protestant Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The red hand is actually better-known as The Red Hand Defenders (RHD),  a Northern Irish paramilitary group formed in 1998 and composed largely of Protestant hardliners from loyalist groups observing a cease-fire. It is composed of members of the Ulster Defence Association (largely those who once belonged to the now disbanded 2nd Battalion, C Company) and Loyalist Volunteer Force, most of whom are still part of the latter organisation.

  • A father and his young daughter ride a merry-go-round on the sea front at Southport, Merseyside, northern England. Hanging on to the carousel's horse, the little girl grips her dad’s hand as they whiz along enjoying each other’s company.  A background sign tells riders to pay 50 pence per person on each carousel horse which is a brightly-coloured animal looking as traditional as possible. The background blurs but we see the bright lights above the pier's amusement arcade entrance (the second longest pier in the UK) but it is a chilly winter, an off-season day with few people about on this chilly day nearing Christmas.

  • A woman rock climber hangs on to a small piece of rock and is suspended by ropes. Mid-way between two points of safe, rock handholds, the lady stretches across the limestone, safely tethered to her partner higher up the rock face. The rock forms one small part of The Great Orme (Welsh: Y Gogarth or Pen y Gogarth), a prominent limestone headland on the north coast of Wales situated in Llandudno. It is referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd in a poem by the 12th century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr. It is echoed by the Little Orme, a smaller but very similar limestone headland, which is on the other side of Llandudno Bay in the parish of Llanrhos. The geology of the Great Orme is limestone and the surface is particularly noted for the limestone pavements covering several headland areas. There are also rich seams of Dolomite-hosted copper ore.

  • A pet Terrier dog plays harmlessly at biting frayed rope in a home garden. Using its instincts to bite at the cord, it growls and snarls and we know it is playing as part of a fun game rather than using its aggression to attack other animals or worse, people. Using its strong front canine teeth and jaws, the dog is lifted off the ground and hangs on to the material that supports its weight.

  • As blue dawn light brightens to become another wintry day in south London  a commuter awaits the arrival of a distant red bus to climb a slippery hill. Standing by the timetable of the bus stop on Red Post Hill  in the borough of Southwark  traffic approaches slowly on a road that controversially  appears not to have been gritted properly for vehicles to maintain a proper grip on this snowy surface. Headlights point uphill and the freshly-fallen snow has started to freeze so wheel and tyre traction will prove ever-difficult for those trying to journey to work.

Jogging downhill along a path between silhouetted trees, the man is seen against the strong, low sun in the west.

It is early December and the winter has yet to grip the capital - the first snows being a short time away - and the mild weather attracts this male to a quiet moment during the day.

In the foreground is a young man without a helmet whose hands grip the handlebars and whose face looks at us as he rides hard ahead of his contemporaries, also on two-wheeled vehicles.

  • Royal wedding graffiti shows the Queen using an aerosol to spray Prince William and Kate Middleton in a heart. Seen ion a street in central London, it is not known if the author of the artwork is Banksy, the subversive, underground and anonymous street artist or another wannabe or copycat. In the weeks before the royal wedding event gripped a largely negative public in terms of anti-royalism, the royal theme seemed to be everywhere, with flags and memorabilia on sale everywhere.

  • As the wake from a ship foams behind the vessel, a young girl stands on some railings of a cross-Channel ferry that is sailing between Dover in England and Calais in France. Holidaymakers take their vehicles to continental Europe and foot passengers go on foot. The child stands and grips the rails as the sea is left disturbed by the boat’s propellers. It’s not a safe place for a young person to stand, so near the edge of the ship and the water below. She looks at the sea and imagines her holiday adventure that is beginning. People do fall overboard on these voyages and children need to be supervised so close to danger.

  • "Three cylinders of gas and air." A young mother enters the final stage of labour on a labour ward at Kings College Hospital, London. Using the painkiller Pethadine from a cylinder she draws on the mouthpiece to counteract the pain during contractions. A hospital identity tag bearing her name, date of birth and code number is secured to her wrist. She already looks exhausted, tolerating the rythmic stages of birth and she grips tightly a supportive hand. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A young national Health general practitioner doctor (GP) uses an otoscope to inspect an even young little girl - a Tamil refugee from Sri Lanka whose father has brought his family to Britain in 1986 to escape racial and political persecution during his country's war between the Sinhalese majority and this ethnic minority group. The surgery is in the north London borough of Camden and the child of approximately 8 years of age is held by her father's firm hand that grips her chin to avoid movement. The health professional peers into the instrument to check for infections so the little girl can carry on dealing with this unfamiliar adopted country and strange ways of life in the UK.

  • 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.
