  • Diners ignore a man lying unconscious outside a McDonalds restaurant on a London street. As people get on with eating their burgers and fries such as illustrated in the window poster above their heads, the unfortunate man is horizontal on the pavement (sidewalk). He may be homeless or simply suffering from the effects of afternoon alcohol. The scene is almost Dickensian where the drunk were treated with disdain as they lay pitifully on London's streets, the outcasts of a socially-divided Britain.

  • Passers-by ignore a destitute bag lady in a Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui street on the Kowloon side. The poor woman sits amid the bustle and crowds of a capitalist population obsessed with wealth and prosperity, she is alone in a material world. Bent over with shame and poverty, the lady is shrouded in a sleeping bag with all her worldly possessions at her feet. Unconcerned, the rest of the Chinese shoppers and commuters simply pass-by on their way to achieve yet more success in this former British-ruled colony that was ceded back to China in 1997.

  • Woman trips and falls over on Lambeth pavement as passers-by walk on. Lying on the pavement, just having landed on the ground, we look down from an aerial perspective to see three men largely ignoring her plight: Londoners being known as aloof and unhelpful to others.  Afterwards, the woman picks herself up and carries on her route unhurt along this stretch of sidewalk in Camberwell, south London.

  • A Muslim mother and son walk past a giant ad mural for Hollister California of a bare-chested young male model, a clash of western and eastern cultures. The large image of the model wearing only swimwear and a whistle is seen to the full height of the billboard that obscures the construction site behind of the newest addition to the Regent Street clothing brand. The lady and child walk past ignoring the sexuality of this ad, increasingly seen in UK media. It shows a handsome male youth and the use of the perfect specimen is displayed on the street more and more, seen here large and prominent for a female (or gay) audience while concentrating our attention on a the clashes of a multicultural Britain.

  • As suited commuters begin their homeward journeys across London Bridge, towards the station that will transport them home to families and security, a homeless man without the warmth of relatives nor a roof over his head, rants and shouts at the respectable people with jobs and incomes. He has been drinking alcohol and sits leaning against the bridge's wall, pointing and threatening but all walk on past, afraid and embarrassed. We see the social divisions of English society, of prospects and wealth versus hopelessness and poverty as those who are marginalised and perhaps suffering from mental health problems are ignored by the successful capitalist.

  • 3 of 3 in a photo sequence showing children ignoring a no climbing safety sign, hauling themselves on to the plinth of Nelson's Column, on 15th December 2016, in Trafalgar Square, next to a Christmas nativity scene in London, England. The Greater London Authority (GLA) has banned tourists climbing the 148-year-old lions due to fears they are being damaged, with potentially dangerous cracks appearing as well as the indignity of having rubbish pushed in their mouths. There has also been a serious injury resulting in an air ambulance helicopter landing to evacuate to hospital in 2015.

  • A woman street beggar prostrates herself on a pavement, ignored by Italian shoppers and pedestrians in Florence. As shoppers and tourists walk past in a hurry, pulling suitcases or carrying shopping, the people walk around the kneeling body whose stick lies on the ground with a paper cup to collect any spare change offered. There seems to be a mixture of indifference, pity and shame for what has become the modern face of Italian society in this once-grand medieval city. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.

  • A passer-by stands next to a menu from a Chinese restaurant in Gerrard Street in London's Chinatown, England. The words Dim Sum Daily are displayed in neon lights above the person's head, its translated message is written on the top in Chinese characters. In the clear window we can see rows of Peking duck. It is early evening and the street is full of colour from the artificial lighting that creates an inviting mood for those browsing the menus on offer in this lively part of London's West End. The pedestrian is partly silhouetted and she stands in profile looking straight ahead as if ignoring what is on offer.

  • A labourer reads a copy of Britain's tabloid Sun Newspaper. The worker holds a coffee and wears a working mans' cap with a pencil in his right ear as he sits in sunshine during a lunch break. In the context of the News International media scandals of 2011, the (daily) Sun is a sister paper to the now defunct (Sunday) News of The World, closed down by proprietor Rupert Murdoch in the light of public outrage over phone hacking. The Sun's own headline refers to the previous day when Murdoch sat before a Parliamentary Select Committee to answer questions about the nature of phone hacking into private voicemails of victims and their grieving families. Murdoch's overall message was the committee grilling was his most humble day.

  • An elderly homeless man walks slowly past a Barclays Bank cash dispenser at which business people are either queueing or typing in their PIN numbers from cash accounts, or simply passing-by. One middle-aged gent stands eyeing the poor man suspiciously while other men of wealth, prospects and prosperity are tall and stand erect in smart suits and polished shoes, the homeless man is hunched and dishevelled, carrying a supermarket bag - perhaps containing all of his worldly goods. It is a tragic scene of extremes between the haves and the have-nots; the rich and poor; between people with hope and those in despair. This is the City of London, near Fenchurch Street Station where the UK's insurance companies are based and it is impossible to know if any of these men in smart clothes are the same age as the poor man.

  • A hunched, homeless elderly man walks along Fenchurch Street in the City of London while younger and affluent office workers saunter past, smiling and with a care in the world. It is a scene of social class division, the contrasts between wealth and poverty, have and have nots, prospects and no hope for the future and of old age and youth. The old man carries a plastic bag with all his belongings and the workers carry their lunch in a paper bag. They are not only smart and he dishevelled but they stand tall and he is stooped, further proof of the hard, demanding life he leads on the capital's streets.

  • A cyclist braves London traffic by crossing the road on a red light. Rather than negotiate the road on a safe green light, the rider risks injury by fast-flowing traffic on the southern side of Westminster Bridge, on the Southwark side. Peddling over the highway, the young woman wears a helmet on her mountain bike. Cycling deaths in 2012 hit a five-year high, as 122 cyclists were killed on Britain’s roads.

  • As passers-by walk by, a homeless man sits with all his worldly possessions on Piccadilly in central London. A well-dressed gentleman strides past the vagrant who sits forlornly on the pavement, surrounded by his worldly good - plastic bags attached to an old bike.

  • Two businessmen pass-by a slogan about the future of the aviation industry written on a red hoarding at Britain's Farnborough Air Show, Hampshire, England. "What aviation needs is a giant leap forward" it says on a deep red background, next to a door that has also been covered in the primary colour. A pole vaulter is about to leap across the picture to prove the giant momentum needed to spring aviation into the future. The Air Show is one of Europe's premier aviation show events, attracting global companies selling aerospace equipment and enthusiasts who watch daily flying displays. It is seen as a thermometer for current innovation and future trends.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • Many racial groups enjoy the pleasures of outdoor in the unheated pool of  the Grade II listed  Brockwell (Brixton) Lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill. The Lido is a magnet, an oasis, for city dwellers to escape, if only for an hour from the pressures of fast urban life. Many enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends. Wearing a straw hat, necklace and hanging sunglasses, a young afro-Caribbean man sunbathes near a blonde white girl who looks over her shoulder. Brockwell Lido is a large, open air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond.

  • Protesters gather in Hyde Park to voice opposition to Catholic thinking during Pope Benedict XVI's papal tour of Britain 2010, the first visit by a pontiff since 1982. Taxpayers footed the £10m bill for non-religious elements, which largely angered a nation still reeling from the financial crisis. Pope Benedict XVI is the head of the biggest Christian denomination in the world, some one billion Roman Catholics, or one in six people. In Britain there are about five million Catholics but only a quarter of Catholics regularly attend Sunday Mass and some churches have closed owing to spending cuts.

  • A homeless man lies in the sand near the ornate Triumphal Arch in Praça do Comércio and statue of King José I. With the glory of old Portugal echoed in the architectural arch in the background and the statue of past monarchs in the bronze on the left, we see a modern city will all its problems of immigration and economic hardships for those unable to sustain a good life in this European nation. The Praça do Comércio or Commerce Square is located near the Tagus river, the square is still commonly known as Terreiro do Paço because it was the location of the Paços da Ribeira (Royal Ribeira Palace) until it was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. After the earthquake, the square was completely remodelled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline Downtown,

  • A charity worker is handing out leaflets in a London street, his hope is to entice the public to give money or lend support to the work of his organisation. He holds out his paper while wearing a bib saying Homeless Not Hopeless meaning that those without a home isn't necessarily without aspiration nor pride. But passers-by only want to continue their journeys unhindered and not bothered by what in Britain are known as charity muggers - or chuggers - and hated for their common presence on street corners, watching for their target demographics to donate hard-earned money. The man walking past without making eye contact is a gentleman of south-Asian or of Arab appearance and he looks to the ground without acknowledging the volunteer worker.

  • A street beggar has been noticed by a young Italian boy who points out the poor kneeling body to his parent. A stick lies on the ground with a paper cup to collect any spare change offered and a cash customer stands entering his pin number into the automated bank dispenser, his back to the underclass of society. This has become normal for what has become the modern face of Italian society in this once-grand medieval city. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.

Government restrictions have yet to ease when the 2 metre rule is to be relaxed on 4th July for one metre plus and when art galleries like the RA re-open. Venues re-opening will be conditional on the progression of the virus and how well social distancing measures are implemented.
