  • With a look of delight on her face, a four year-old girl stamps through fallen snow in a field near her home in Bielefeld, Germany. Wearing a vibrant red bobble hat and matching coat, she smiles towards the viewer with the pleasure of any child enjoying the excitement of fresh snow. Ski or sledge tracks can be seen at her feet but she is the only person in this empty landscape, as if she's walking on her own through the snowy hills. It is the winter of 1967 and the reds are very vibrant and dominant from the Kodachrome film used which also has a wonderful muted blue colour cast in the mid-tones giving the picture a chilly, wintry feel reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded and dated look.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A little boy wearing a blue jump suit stands on the pavement outside his house holding the handlebars of a favourite matching blue coloured tricycle. He looks upwards towards the viewer slightly bemused about having his picture taken by his father who looks down from a standing position. Meanwhile, the boys sister towers above him dressed in a bright red coat and clean white gloves and short white socks. Alongside her is a friend also wearing gloves and a knee-length skirt but we see only their lower bodies and not their faces so they are unrecognisable - an older sibling and a girl friend. It is the summer of 1960 and while the red is vibrant, the blues and greens are more muted in this Kodachrome film which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look

  • A young boy of about 5 years-old from the mid-sixties plays amongst lavender in his parents’ property. He has the face of boyhood innocence as he traipses through the garden. It is the summer of 1967 and the colours are muted on this Kodachrome film slide which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • A young blonde girl of approximately 3 years-old stands on a lawn looking delighted. She giggles with great mirth at something that pleases her - possibly the way her father has posed her as if she's a ballerina, or maybe because it is her birthday and her present is the blue dress she is showing off to the viewer. The girl holds out her arms while holding a special pair of sunglasses. It is the summer of 1967 and this is a housing estate for British soldiers stationed in Bielefeld, Germany still during the Cold War. The girl's father is a solder serving in the British Army and the they all live in a house nearby with other expat families. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones and where a small light-leak has affected the far right, reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • A portrait of a mother in her 41st year has been gathering heather in handfuls and holds up her young child who grins towards his father who is taking the picture at a park near the Essex seaside town of Southend. It is the summer of 1960 and the mum's dress is styled from the previous decade: blue with white spots and pearl necklace. She too is smiling as she grasps the flowers and her child on a warm day. Oddly, the boy looks as though he is wearing a girl's dress which may have been a hand-me-down from an older sibling or just the trend then.

  • A detail of an old family photo taken on 35mm transparency slide from the 1960s. We see the photo from another era, backlit against the bight light of a photography lightbox used to view this type of photographic material. So as not to add confusion, Kodak has printed the words 'View from this Side' so that it may be viewed the right way round. In the picture is a mother leading her young son away from wild animals in London zoo, England.

  • Through the window of a hairdressers business in central London  we see a pair of hands massaging a scalp of a male customer who is in a chair for his haircut. In the foreground is a large vertical image of a model whose red hair falls across her face and who wears a light jacket with a pocket dotted scarf. Through a transparent space in this picture we see the anonymous assistant's fingers spread across her client's head  kneading and stimulating his hair. He sits with eyes closed  enjoying the moment of utter self-indulgence and vanity.

  • Children roll around the inside of Water Balls at the south London Lambeth Country Fair. A water ball is a large inflatable sphere that allows a person to walk across a water surface. The water ball is similar to a zorb (rolling downhill in an orb, generally made of transparent plastic), but this has only one layer and is designed for water travel rather than downhill rolling. The giant ball is usually two metres in diameter and has a zippered entrance to allow for easy entry and exit. It stores flat and weighs 15 kilograms. The best water balls are constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 0.6–0.7mm thick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_ball

The giant ball is usually two metres in diameter and has a zippered entrance to allow for easy entry and exit. It stores flat and weighs 15 kilograms. The best water balls are constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 0.6–0.7mm thick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_ball

  • A holy nativity scene titled Christmas Crib by the artist Tomoaki Suzuki with background acrobat in London's Trafalgar Square. On the far left is a self-styled acrobat balances on two hands on an upper plinth of Nelson's column while encased within a transparent perspex box are the pilgrims who are apparently paying their respects to the infant Jesus in that famous Christian religious event. The new crib was commissioned in 2006 by St Martin-in-the-Fields providing a significant new public art work embodies characters representing different ethnicities - Middle eastern, Caucasian, African and Asian. The 11 painted lime wood carving are 40% life-size and were a collaboration with fashion designer Jessica Ogden who created timeless silk costumes for each of the characters.

  • 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.
