  • A 5 year-old girl stands outside her south London home on the first day of proper school, a momentous day and a rite of passage. Standing on the path by the front door of an Edwardian period south London home, the girl holds a brand new book bag with the initials of her local school of St Saviour's, repeated on her school jumper. She looks calm but is inwardly nervous of the day about to unfold - a rite of passage for every schoolchild, climbing the ladder of life.

  • Young boys between the ages of 8 and 13 gather under the shade of a brightly-coloured canopy in the compound of the Governor of the war-torn region of north Darfur, Sudan. Dressed in white gowns and wearing red bandanas, they will soon celebrate a Sudanese rite of passage, the male circumcision. Only when they have recited the entire Qur'an [Koran] once through will they generally endure this traditional practice.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, clambers over rocks in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy stumbles over the terrain and continues his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.
