  • An elderly lady lies oddly on the grass surrounded by crowd of Britons out in Hyde Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. As if awoken and surprised at being surrounded by a melee of people, the eccentric woman gives a disapproving stare at a passer-by. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. There is an older, taller white teenage girl with blonde hair dressed in a blue shell-suit and a shorter and younger friend of Asian-descent. Looking suspicious and amused at something across the cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, home to deprived families. The industrial action aginst the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Brushes and bucket on the ground, surrounded by hazard tape in Trafalgar Square, central London. In a scene that might suggest a strike or redundancy, we see the downed tools of a workman who has stopped doing his job or halted for a moment. The two brushes and the black bucket are left in the middle of the tape cordon, stopping visitors to this location from walking through the works site.

Two European girls are waiting expectantly for their dishes to arrive. Obscured by the steam and heat, a waiter in green bustles about this small eaterie.

  • With his personal belongings and beach shingle surrounding him, a man sits on his seaside towel in soft sunlight in Dover eating a snack which is dribbling out of his mouth. The skin from many previous hours of exposure to solar radiation has left him raw and sunburned and therefore dried and dying skin is peeling in shreds on his back and shoulder. He looks like an eccentric local character who seems oblivious to the health risks that his continued sunbathing is inflicting on his bizarrely scorched body.

  • Near the chaotic road junction of Piazza Venezia in the Italian capital of Rome, we see a gridlock situation of traffic. Buses, cars and three scooters and riders appear to be stuck in the middle of a motoring nightmare as no-one goes anywhere - the progress of this journey to destinations and life itself, has ground to a halt. A bus passenger looks out resigned through her window, a driver on another vehicle rests his hand on a ledge and the riders are sandwiched between cars. The dot matrix sign on the 60 bus it mentions its own destination, the abbreviation for Piazza spelled as "P.za". The Piazza Venezia takes its name from the adjacent Palazzo Venezia, the former embassy in the city of the Republic of Venice. The piazza is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and near the Roman Forum.

  • Permit to Work and No Entry notices in construction barriers, in a south London street. Looking down at this detail view of the street barriers, ordinarily designed for roadworks and pedestrian health and safety barriers, we see the temporary paper attached to the interlocking plastic items warning us pedestrians of entering a restricted area. It is of course pointless and indicative of bylaws and safety concerns gone mad. They have apparently been stacked until needed for further use during roadworks for London's cycling superhighway.
