  • Ninety year-old Mrs Irene Spurling sits with fingers crossed looking to camera with a mild look of mild bemusement. She is actually familiar with celebrity, having been the secretary to the Australian operatic singer Dame Nellie Melba between 1919-1921. She travelled with the diva in the latter years of her singing career, and in 1993 lived in a nursing home in Winchester, Hampshire England. Irene has clear blue eyes, brushed silver hair and seemingly gnarled, arthritic hands and still wears her wedding ring. Despite her years, she is still active and interested in her surroundings.

  • A middle-aged man, possibly in his late-fifties, holds the lead of his pet dog on a park bench in London England. Afternoon sun filters through nearby trees and the man is wearing a simple, plain white shirt. He sits crossed-legs on this warm afternoon gazing to a point in the distance looking lonely and hopeful of meeting someone else, or maybe of events in a long life. His dog is the man's best friend and companion and he guards him with a strong hand as a master should.

  • In a field at the town of Boofzheim in the eastern French Alsace region, an elderly Frenchman harvests some of his self-grown carrots crop. Having left his old bicycle standing at the kerb of a narrow access road and in front of a field full of maturing maize, he bends down with much effort to dig in his fork or spade into the rich Alsace earth and lift out his vegetables to take home. This landscape is typically French or German (Alsace borders the western side of Germany and saw much tragic action in WW2) where maize is a nutritious foodstuff for cattle and also for ducks and geese who are force-fed it locally in the making of fois gras and pate.

  • An elderly lady makes her way from her community village Memorial Hall which she has been volunteering this winter morning as part of a charity funds raising event. The lady might be old and frail but her spirit is such that she still finds the time to integrate into community life and remains active despite her years. Walking beneath the wrought-iron sign in Cleeve Prior, Worcestershire, she edges under tentatively to make her way home wearing a quilted coat and her wedding ring on her gnarled hands. A chilly late-morning sun shines across the architecture of the building and this is the look of a lady happy with her morning's activities with fellow parishioners.

  • An elderly lady widow resident of a tower block, enjoys the company of TV newsreader in her inner-city home. Watching the television news programme on which a black man of perhaps afro-Caribbean descent is presenting, the lady sits with a cup of tea, wearing pink slippers and surrounded by personal possessions that line the sill of her high-rise window, overlooking the Middlesex Estate in the City of London. She is alone apart from the on-screen presence of the male presenter empty of human contact or friendly neighbours. She lives alone in this inner city flat but she is looking after herself showing brushed hair, a lace top and lipstick. The world outside is a depressingly empty landscape of concrete walkways and garage doors, an inner-city environment devoid of human interaction or friendliness.

The 50kg carcasses have been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth and just line-caught by freelance boat crews who share profits for only high-quality fish that passes stringent health tests. The tuna has been in ice since being landed to keep a low-temperature body core so the workers cut out the prime flesh as quickly as possible before boxing the resulting chunks of steak for export by air to Europe and in particular for customers such as UK's Sainsbury's supermarket.

  • An elderly lady walks slowly with her shopping trolley across a road on the Aylesbury Estate, on 4th September 2018, in Southwark, London, England. The Aylesbury Estate contained 2,704 dwellings in approximately 7500 residents and built between 1963 and 1977 and for decades it was seen as a symbol of the failure of British social housing. There were major problems with the physical buildings on the estate and the poor perception of estates in Britain as a whole have led to the Aylesbury Estate gaining the title of one of the most notorious estates in the United Kingdom. Demolition is in progress for the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate to consist of 3,500 new homes, 50% of which, according to Southwark council, will be affordable.

  • The head of a freshly-caught yellow fin tuna fish lies inert on a filleting table at a refrigerated processing factory on Himmafushi island, Maldives. The 50kg carcass has been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth and just line-caught by freelance boat crews who share profits for only high-quality fish that passes stringent health tests. The tuna has been in ice since being landed to keep a low-temperature body core so the workers cut out the prime flesh as quickly as possible before boxing the resulting chunks of steak for export by air to Europe and in particular for customers such as UK's Sainsbury's supermarket. The filleting is performed by Sri Lankan ex-fishermen and widowers, having lost their families during the Tsunami. Using sharp knives, they skillfully remove valuable meat and throw away the rest.

  • Ahmad Shah, carpenter, has been working at Turquoise mountain for a year and a half, and is paid Sixty dollars a day ( which relative to the average is considered a very good wage). He is widowed and has two grown up children who are also carpenters. Before TM he worked for another company making tables and chairs. The residents of Murad khane  are enjoying improved conditions thanks to the charity . Turquoise Mountain  was set up by Rory Stewart. He was asked personally by Prince Charles to take on the task of rebuilding the ancient heart of Kabul. His charity using local labour and the goodwill of the community is substantially into the task and has also set up a school training Afghans in traditional crafts. The area had literally been turned into a rubbish dump, now though using ancient skills the buildings are being restored to their former glory, Stewart is hopeful that he can contribute significantly to the local economy.

  • A tuna fish's sharp yellow fin protrudes from shredded ice at the Cyprea Marine Foods processing factory on Himmafushi Island, Maldives. The 50kg carcasses have been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth and having just been line-caught by freelance boat crews who share profits for only high-quality fish that passes stringent health tests. The tuna has been encased in ice since being landed at sea to keep a low-temperature body core so the workers cut out the prime flesh as quickly as possible before boxing the resulting chunks of steak for export by air to Europe and in particular for customers such as UK's Sainsbury's supermarket. The Sri Lankan butchers are ex-fishermen and widowers, having lost their families during the Tsunami. Using extremely sharp knives, they skillfully remove valuable meat and throw away the rest.
