  • Man in a tiny Fiat 500 car on Portobello Road in West London, UK. The Fiat 500 is a city car produced by the Italian manufacturer between 1957 and 1975.

  • Viewed from the top of the Arc de triumph in the centre of Paris, the French capital, we see tiny human figures going about their daily business, a hurried frenzy of activity at street level far below. This street is the Avenue des Champs Elysees, one of the most famous of European boulevards and the multi-lane road that stretches away into the distance – from l’Etoile to Place de la Concorde – is dissected with zebra crossings over which more pedestrians negotiate the Parisian traffic that has stopped on a red light. Otherwise small figures walk along the pavement (sidewalk) and some disappear into an underground Metro entrance.

  • "No Distance Covered." The leathery soles of a new-born 3 day-old baby girl's feet are seen in detail. Her skin is wrinkled and cracked despite applying foot lotion to keep them soft. The tiny toes have yet to support her upright body and walk anywhere because she has been at home from hospital for only a few days. 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.

  • The solitary figure of a man stands on the roof of an office building in downtown Atlanta during a victory parade for the city's baseball team. The man may be a security guard, keeping watch over the streets below as crowds gather to honour the Atlanta Braves Baseball team, after their 1995 World Series win. The figure is in his manmade environment and the high walls and windows of the buildings that make up this metropolis dwarf this tiny human who in the scale and perspective of a modern city looks incongruous, isolated and insignificant.

  • With a large hand from her worried mother gently caressing her head, a tiny premature new-born born baby sleeps on its side with an oxygen tube in its nose, while gathering strength in her incubator at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, London, England. In her warm cot, a toy bear looks on in the corner and a poem writen on a card from the baby's parents has been attached to the plastic wall. It is a tender moment of hope, that this precious young human life can continue to grow into adulthood and be loved by all. The Royal London Hospital is one of London's oldest, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London.

  • Young travellers try out a Shetland pony at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep (and horse) fair in Somerset, England. Leading round the horse on a rope, the traveller boys parade around a field on the outskirts of the village. Set in the Mendip Hills, in the south-western English county of Somerset, the Priddy Sheep fair is host to an odd mix of farmers and travellers (commonly and incorrectly known as gypsies). In this field set aside purely for travellers, many with West Country accents but also with nearby Welsh and Irish too, deals are done with a traditional spit on the hand and a smacking of palms, selling a pony to another family. The Priddy Sheep Fair moved from the city of Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death.

  • In a narrow street in Florence, a parking attendant stops to check the windscreen (windshield) of a Fiat 500 car.

  • Sheriff Woody Pride, aka Woody, the cowboy character from the Pixar/Disney CGI fantasy film Toy Story, lies forgotten outside a south London charity shop. Facing the viewer, we see the happy features of this famous movie character - whose on-screen narrative is that of a forgotten toy, now unwanted by his growing-up boy owner. As art becomes reality, Woody has been left on the pavement after being dumped by his previous family.  A common problem is that charity donors leave unwanted things outside in the street, for others to come and rifle through, leaving a mess that's difficult for volunteers to clean up.

The AKC says they are highly intelligent and very easily trained. They are friendly and can be stubborn at times. The average life span of a Boston is around 11 to 13 years, though some can live well into their teens

  • A small boy shows a fascination for a huge tractor wheel at the Lambeth country fair in inner-city south London. Possibly never having seen a large machine such as this at close-quarters, the lad stares at the giant nuts that attach the wheel to the main frame.

As if in the fantasy world of Lilliput (the novel by Johnathan Swift), the larger-than-life figure lies on summer grass for families to walk past. Smaller, people models can be seen at the giant’s elbow, one of which has fallen over. And the words “Please Keep .. (off the grass)” are on a sign deterring kids from jumping over and climbing on the man.

  • A man hangs from the hat of Prince Henry, Duke of Viseu, at the Monument of the Discoveries at Belem, Lisbon. The man has found a way to scale part of the 177 foot (54 metre) high celebration to Henry, otherwise known as Henry the Navigator, or Seafarer. The trespasser is dwarfed by the giant, oversized effigies and the man hangs by his fingers and rests his foot on Henry's ship's sail which points out to sea. It is a clear day with blue skies and the slightly yellow stone is side-lit to show each feature of the carvings in fine detail. It is a classic scene of Portguese history depicted during the 1960s fascist Portuguese President Salazar's regime. Henry remains one of ocean-conquering Portugal's most famous of cartographers, whose explorers discovered new routes around Africa and the Atlantic. Although he was called Prince Henry the Navigator by the English, Prince Henry never actually sailed on any of the voyages of discovery he sponsored. Instead, Prince Henry established a school for the study of the arts of navigation, mapmaking, and shipbuilding. This would allow sailors to better guide their ships and to come up with new ship designs. Immediately behind Henry is King Manuel I then poet Luis de Camōes. The eight figures are carved by sculptor Leopoldo Almeida and along with the monument, were commissioned for the 1960 world exhibition to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Henry's death in 1460.

Dickens pictures them as '....five little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long which were arranged in a neat row ... and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine....' In fact the Cooling graves belong to the children of two families, aged between 1 month and about a year and a half, who died in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

  • An unidentified father in the act of pouring coffee from a cafetiere into two metallic silver mugs in while holding his sleeping baby son in his London kitchen. The unconscious child is a few months old and the parent stands expertly holding both hot liquid and infant as if juggling pleasure and parenthood simultaneously. The sleeping child is limp in the father's arm and is dressed in the same scarlet red as the vibrant colour on the wall behind. We only see the man's upper-legs and torso but the baby is tiny against his body making the scale of both young and old. otherwise, the generic room is bare of decoration or possessions - only a drying cloth and chopping board is seen on the draining board, near plain white tiles.

  • A shop assistant demonstrates fish spa with feet in warm water containing tiny fish nibbling at her skin. The woman sits with her legs dangling a transparent tank of green liquid. Gathering on her feet and toes, the treatment encourages little fish to gently exfoliate a person’s feet in a warm footbath. The treatment, which is popular in Japan and America, uses tiny carp fish to painlessly exfoliate and remove dead skin. The fish, which originate in Turkey, have long been used in the Far East to treat skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis. The fish saliva contains an enzyme called diathanol that is said to improve the skin regeneration process. Critics have branded the treatment “unhygienic” claiming that infections could be spread between customers through small cracks in the skin. Fish therapy has been banned in 14 states in America.

  • Mexican Papantla Flyers perform a pre-Hispanic ritual dedicated to their sun god, a leap from a 90 foot pole, on 15th May 1996, the Tulum ruins, Yucatan, Mexico. Dressed in their native costumes these men lash themselves to this towering pole with a leather bindings and soar off into space backwards and upside down in the ultimate leap of faith. The Papantla Flyers are Totonac Indians performing an ancient fertility ceremony. As they slowly descend to earth, the 13 revolutions made by the four flyers equal the 52-year span of the Aztec century. They represent earth, water, fire and air and the interweaving of these four elements symbolizes the creation of new life. A fifth man is left on top, dancing on this tiny nine-inch platform while simultaneously playing both a pre-Columbian flute and drum.

  • A commuter crosses London Bridge, passing a City of London boundary griffin, on the southern Southwark bank of the Thames. The griffin statue marks the southern boundary between Southwark on the south side and the City of London beyond on the bridge. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • A local man carries tourism industry supplies downhill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With the heavy load on his back, supported in the traditional Himalayan manner of a head strap that steadies the pack, the man makes his steady way down the foothill using a long pole for extra balance. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.
