  • Disney character Rapunzel from their film Tangled stands looking at women, exemplifying feminine beauty. A smaller than life-size model of the Disney character Rapunzel from their company’s film called Tangled stands in the window of their London store, seemingly looking out in admiration and delight at a young woman with a very short striped skirt and red shoes. Advertising the forthcoming opening of the movie, the display of the central character exemplifies feminine health, beauty, and inadvertently, of American or white European values. The woman walks past oblivious at the attention that this fictitious person is affording them – her own lifestyle being an everyday personal choice of style and a statement about femininity and gender on this urban street.

  • Three-card Monte (also known as Find the Lady or the Three-card Trick) is a confidence game in which the victim, or mark, is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the ball underneath one of the cups. In its full form, Three-card Monte is an example of a classic "short con" in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark. This confidence trick was already in use by the turn of the 15th century.

  • A model from the Alion Couture fashion house takes part in a street parade with horses for the benefit of the media in Kensington, central London UK. We see the lower section of a horse ramp and another horse is in the background. Seen from a low angle, both the horses hoof and her foot in red high heel shoes appear to be askew in a postural echo, when two mannerisms or body language are similar.  The light is blue because of the shadow both subjects are in but her shoes and matching short red dress appear vibrant in saturation and hue.

  • Child and dog celebrate their Queen's Diamnond Jubilee weeks before the Olympics come to London. The UK gears enjoys a weekend and summer of patriotic fervour as their monarch celebrates 60 years on the throne. Across Britain, flags and Union Jack bunting adorn towns and villages. This is a sweet picture of a child's innocence, her dream puppy perhaps the size of her toy dog at home. In the background are the crowds of public tents and celebration during an afternoon and evening of British festivities to commemorate the Queen's 60th anniversary of sovereign rule.

  • A young mother holds up her daughter to insert a letter into a post box at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. The girl half-climbs up the red pillar box and tries to get the postage item into the narrow slot which is an even tighter fit because of security considerations - avoiding larger and potentially dangerous packages from entering the airport's postal system. In the background we see the bustle of a departures concourse where British Airways passengers walk past after having checked-in at BA's hub terminal. At a cost of £4.3 billion, Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A portrait of three brothers of the same family have their picture taken outside their parents' home in Westcliff, England. The eldest is a teenager of approximately 17 and  is holding his youngest brother who is still only 12 months-old. The third boy is biting his lip while looking to the viewer, more anxiously than the other two. He is possibly 14 but both the elder lads wear identically-designed jumpers that cut across the throat to allow their clean white shirts and ties to remain visible. Apart from the young child, the elders share the same dark hair colour but genetically, they share one chromosome that has given them heavy eyebrows, a family trait. This was taken on Kodachrome film stock in the spring of 1961 so the look and feel of the image is dated with wonderfully muted colours that this Kodak film offered to consumers in the early 60s.

  • 2 months before the London Olympics, a To Let sign is attached to the gates of a building offering space near to the 2012 Olympic Park site.

  • 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.

  • In the terminal at Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport, Paris France, the peace of the airport chapel looks like a Star Trek-style place of worship, typical of the new airport experience pushed upon in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Short stools and padded benches line the intimate space in the satellite building. Designed by Paul Andreu, Charles de Gaulle became a symbol for airport modernity becoming an ‘Aérogare’ where trains and planes whisk the new world traveller of the late ‘60s, away beyond an ever-extending horizon. From here, the Air France Concorde crashed on the aviation employment town of Gonesse on July 25th 2000. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • "More than you can chew." A ten month-old infant uses new teeth to bite her mother's nose in the back garden of their Victorian south London terrace home. The mum winces in pain as the child sinks her new milk teeth into her skin but they enjoy a warm summer afternoon, playfully interacting with each other in a moment of parental love and harmony. The girl wears a short-sleeved t-shirt and has plump arms of baby fat, a healthy sign of a contented infant. 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 seedy resort very much orientated around British tourists and catering for both young parties as well as families, Magaluf is considered as an exotic alternative to the chilly seaside towns around the UK's coast.

  • Michelangelo's David's genitalia images on sale in Piazza Santa Giovanni beneath Florence's Santa Maria del Fiori Cathedral. Reproduced on the boxer shorts, the penis is positioned at the opening where the wearers own genitals appear! It is said that the genitals were created smaller to imply that David was not allowing himself to make decisions with pleasure in mind. "David" is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17 metre (17 feet) marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence but soon came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties in the Florentine Republic, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the Medici family.

<br />
Shinty, or 'Camanachd' in Scottish, is a game only played mostly in the Highlands between teams representing villages and towns. The game is older than the recorded history of Scotland and is played on a grass pitch using a small ball and sticks (called a caman). Each team consists of twelve players and the game is played over two halves of 45 minutes. The the aim is to score goals only by using the caman. A ball hit over the sideline results in a 'shy'. To do a shy a player must throw the ball above his or her head and hit the ball with the caman directly over the head using both hands.

Sitting on his knees on the soft summer grass the young lad looks brave rather than tearful.

  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.
