  • Hidden in a wooden hut, a group of bird-spotting ornithologists peer through binoculars at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) rreserve at Rainham Marshes, Essex England. Watching dozens of wintering birds, the group are intensely looking through their optical equipment in anticipation of seeing rare breeds at this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a wetland alongside the River Thames, 20 miles from Central London. A narrow slit is open to keep them hidden from sight so leaning on elbows and with a guide sheet in front to identify particular species, they concentrate on their hobby. The RSPB has 200 nature reserves covering almost 130,000 hectares, home to 80% of Britain's rarest or most threatened bird species. Its role is to speak out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten the environment.

  • Three young British Asians pose in the street to show their gangland signs in Southall, west London. "Throwing up" a gang sign (e.g., "Stacking," "walk") with the hands is one of the most known and obvious forms of "claiming." It is used in many situations where other identifiers may not be possible or appropriate, and it can also show that a gang member is in the area to "do business" as opposed to just passing through. Usually these signs are made by formation of the fingers on one or both hands to make some sort of symbol or letter.

  • School children eat their morning porridge before lessons commence.<br />
It is school policy that all the children wear their uniform; not only does it make the children immediately identifiable, and everyone in community knows where a child comes from and belongs, but it also safeguards against child trafficking. The Uniforms are made affordable, as they are sourced locally.  They can also be subsidised, in exchange for parental involvement, for children from poorer homes. It is a good a way of getting the support of the community and for all children to be equal at school.

  • The tagged ear and one eye of a dairy cow, wintering in a barn of a family farm in rural Alsace, western France. Its orange label shows the number 8172, identifying it as owned by the Kessler family who have a herd of cows as well as ducks from which they make Foie-Gras. The farm is in the french village of Boofzheim, a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. Its name is probably derived from the French "boeuf" (bull or ox).

  • ID papers for an anonymous secret agent from Cottbus, Germany, an exhibit in the ministerial headquarters of the Stasi secret police in Communist East Germany, the GDR. Built in 1960, the complex now known as the Stasi Museum. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. Before the fall of the Wall, it was a 22-hectare complex of espionage whose centrepiece is the office and working quarters of the former Minister of State Security, Erich Mielke who considered their role as the 'shield and sword of the party', conducting one of the world's most efficient spying operations against its political dissenters during its 40-year old socialist history. The Stasi Museum is a 22-hectare complex of research  and memorial centre concerning the political system of the former East Germany.

  • A young Nepali boy is straining in his last sit-ups during a recruitment test for the Gurkha Regiment, part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. He has to perform 25 straight-kneed sit-ups at a 45° slant both within 60 seconds to pass. 60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • Detail of a MBDA missile system exhibited on a jet fighter at the Farnborough Air Show, England. An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft. AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket motors, usually solid fuelled but sometimes liquid fuelled. Ramjet engines, as used on the MBDA Meteor are emerging as propulsion that will enable future medium-range missiles to maintain higher average speed across their engagement envelope. MBDA is a missile developer and manufacturer with operations in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

  • 50-70,000 pieces of British Airways baggage a day travel through 11 miles of conveyor belts which were installed in a 5-storey underground hall beneath the 400m (a quarter of a mile) length of Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. Here we see items of luggage spending 4 hours in transit, held in a fully-automated parking lot for bags. Computers decide when to fish the item out and re-introduce it into the system and load it on to the appropriate aircraft. T5 alone has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year and was completed in 2008 at a cost of £4.3bn. The system was designed by an integrated team from the airport operator BAA, BA and Vanderlande Industries of the Netherlands, and handles both intra-terminal and inter-terminal luggage.

He is standing in front of the cold stores each of which hold about 60 bodies. Relatives are still coming to see if they can identify their loved ones such is the need to know if their families are just missing or dead.  People are searching high and low for loved ones even knowing that the chances of finding them dead or alive must be miniscule when so many have been cleared into mass graves or burnt where they lay. "After the earthquake, all the bodies were piled outside this morgue. There was a huge pile of two to three thousand and inside there were bodies piled up to the ceiling.  Every time the earth trembled, the after-shocks caused the bodies to move and I could smell the dead"

Several figures who are also reduced to black shapes and without detail that may identify them or their clothes, are hurrying in different directions, carrying a bag or briefcase but the feeling of rushing business is seen and their scale is ambiguous becase we don't know how close or far away they are from each other. This is due to telephoto lens forshortening. Some therefore look giants and some appear tiny. Broadgate Estate is a large, 32 acre (129,000 m²) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. It was originally built by Rosehaugh and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s.

  • A young boy, age 15,  is having his hair cut. The boy was arrested with his friend in April 2010 for rape, reported by a local girl, also 14. The girl was not able to identify any of the boys but witnesses saw them in the fields near by. Sok, 15. ( not real name) Children are according to the law supposed to go to trial within 6 months of arrest but many wait up to a year before a sentencing regardless of the severity of the offence. Battambang provincial prison has 1170 inmates ( capacity 700) including 37 children and youths under 18. Most cases amongst the boys are rape, a few murders and robbery. Stealing food & drink to eat is considered a robbery if offence is commited by two or more individuals and comes with severe punishment. Most of cases amongst girls are robbery. Without LAC none of these children would have any legal representaion. Being arrested by police on suspicion of commiting a crime they can spend up to a year awaiting trial, if convicted ( rape is 1-4 years) they can expect to wait up to several years for an appeal hearing.

  • We see four office workers silhouetted against the large orange wall of the Credit Lyonnais Bank at Broadgate in the City of London, UK. The two figures are reduced to black shapes and without detail that may identify them or their clothes, are hurrying in the same direction, carrying a bag or briefcase but the feeling of rushing business is seen and their scale is ambiguous because we don't know how close or far away they are from each other. This is due to telephoto lens foreshortening. Some therefore look giants and some appear tiny. Broadgate Estate is a large, 32 acre (129,000 m²) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. It was originally built by Rosehaugh and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s.

  • Whilst on a cruise aboard the Fun Ship Ecstasy during a voyage from Miami around the Gulf of Mexico, passengers enjoy a sexual game on deck beneath a strong tropical sun. Male contestants have lined up to be inspected by a blindfolded lady wearing a swim suit and painted nails who is required to identify her own husband by feeling his lower body and torso. Howls of laughter emit from the other men as the lady realises that this is indeed her own spouse who stands on a chair, his bulging crotch at chest height. She smiles to herself, still blind beneath a towel and the moment is funny enough for all to enjoy a happy hour of organised entertainment on deck. The Panamanian-registered MS Ecstasy is a 70,367 ton cruise ship carrying 2,052 passengers and 920 crew belonging to Vegas-style Carnival Cruise lines.

  • An Aini ethnic minority woman sits on a bed with a young boy in her home in Xiang Dao Ya village. Costume styles in the past were identified by discrete regions and sub regions, but due to a number of factors some groups are more widely dispersed.  This may be due to migration or search for land, and more recently, as a result of re-settlement of groups by the Chinese government, made necessary by the construction of new roads, reservoirs and hydroelectric schemes. The People's Republic of China recognises 55 ethnic minority groups in China in addition to the Han majority. The ethnic minorities form 9.44% of mainland China and Taiwan's total population and the greatest number can be found in Yunnan Province, 34% (25 ethnic groups).

  • The Bay of Naples (population 3.7m) seen from the south-western slopes of the Vesuvius Volcano which last erupted in 1944. The national emergency plan to protect the inhabitants from a possible eruption of the Vesuvius area has as its baseline the explosive event of 1631. Drafted by the scientific community has identified three areas with different hazard defined: the red zone, yellow zone and the blue zone. The red zone is the area immediately surrounding the volcano, and is in greater danger as potentially subject to invasion by pyroclastic flows, or mixtures of gases and solids at high temperature which, sliding along the slopes of the volcano at high speed can destroy in a short time everything is on its way. Pyroclastic flows probably will not grow at 360 ° in the neighborhood of the volcano, but will head in one or more preferential directions

The identifying names of the Boeing type range such as 777s, 767, 747 and 757s are also stencilled on the apron concrete to allow exact distances for expandable air bridges and other airfield vehicles to connect and service these differing-sized commercial airliners. The pilot has devices inside and outside to gauge the exact spot to break to a standstill though these marks are largely unsighted to them, high up in the cockpit. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
