  • "Then raindrops fell on my head." Looking over the shoulder as a mother pours bath water from a toy seive on to the head of her five month-old baby daughter. The infant looks unsure but otherwise spellbound as the droplets fall, watching them leaving the pot to feel them trickling down. We see the child's trust for her mother and imagine her fascination with tumbling liquid, the feel of it touching her skin. This water is shallow, a child can drown in an inch of water so the mum is supporting the baby's head around the neck in the correct manner. 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.

  • As evening light fades, bright light from the electricity-hungry Canary Wharf docklands development is supplied by the voltage from electricity cables and supporting struts at West Ham sub-station, Canning Town, London England. A network of 110 miles of cables have stretched across 542 'L6' pylons across England's Kent countryside, from the coal-fired power station at Dungeness to this location, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of London's high supply demands. Insatiable appetites for energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

  • A male commuter walks past the defaced Labour Party poster which is displayed in a front garden in Herne Hill, South London. The seat of Labour's Tessa Jowell MP, the Minister for the 2012 Olympics. The large sign has had a few extra lines, possibly from a Conservative supporter who has written the words "Vote for us, we want your money," that means a vote for Labour will take cash from the voter/tax-payer's pocket if Labour are returned to govern the nation. The house is typical of a south London  Victorian terraced home.

  • A woman with blue painted nails holds on tight to her partner in a public street. The amourous couple squeeze each other, hugging in a gesture of fond farewell or a happy hello. Either way, we see the lady's hands spread across the back of her friend or partner, comforted and comfortable - or in a desperate bid not to let go. Their relationship is close and intimate, their support of each other, proof of their dependency.

  • Girls visit a Renaissance art exhibition at London's British Museum. Above them and between pillars is a giant poster called Head of a Woman (1470s) by Andrea del Verrocchio born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, an Italian sculptor, goldsmith  and painter who worked at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. His pupils included Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino and Lorenzo di Credi, but he also influenced Michelangelo. The British Museum's collection of Italian Renaissance drawings is so fragile that its masterpieces are exhibited only once in a generation. About half of the works came from Florence in partnership with the Uffizi and sponsored by BP (British Petroleum). The 100 or so works span the period 1400-1510 by artists including Jacopo and Gentile Bellini, Botticelli, Filippo Lippi, Mantegna, Michelangelo and Raphael.

  • At the Royal London Hospital, accident and emergency (A & E) medical staff wearing radiation-proof x-ray lead tunics very carefully move a patient to a more comfortable position after a road traffic accident in London. The patient is held firm in a splint after several fractures and his life hangs in the balance but he is the care of this team of five health professionals who give him the very best care. 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. It is part of the Barts and the London NHS Trust, alongside St Bartholomew's Hospital ("Barts"), which is a couple of miles away.

  • An NHS surgeon performs an operation in a London hospital using endoscopy. Watching the progress of the instrument as it makes its way along a part of the stomach, the surgeon uses his skill to make minute adjustments using great care and hand-eye co-ordination. Endoscopy means ‘looking inside’ and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope, an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike most other medical imaging devices, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ. Endoscopy can also refer to using a borescope in technical situations where direct line-of-sight observation is not feasible.

  • We are looking upwards into the faces of two surgeons wearing medical masks and surgical gowns as they carry out a wisdom tooth extraction procedure at the famous St. Bartholomews (Barts) Hospital in London, England. With eyes focussed on their work, the two health professionals are intently looking into the mouth of their patient who is covered in clean green sheets but remains unseen to the viewer. Strong operating theatre lights shine down on to the patient and we see the men's gloved hands reaching carefully, avoiding infection or bacterial problems like MRSA. Barts is Britain’s oldest hospital – founded in 1123 - and boasts a progressive policy of encouraging day-surgery for out-patients allowing patients to return home soon after their minor operations.

Under the gaze of a giant eye that seems to be peering from out of a massive TV screen, the self-service kiosks that have been developed to allow customers to process their own ticketing on arrival at this aviation hub for British Airways. Once they've chosen their seat and printed a boarding pass, they can go straight to the Fast Bag Drop desk at the airport. There, baggage will be tagged by an agent and sent to the aircraft. 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).

  • "First shoes in Wales." An eleven month-old infant tries to walk in her first pair of proper rigid shoes whilst on holiday in Snowdonia, North Wales UK. Tentatively taking a few unconfident steps the young girl  cries out in surprise, almost falling over. Her mother instinctively grabs her coat hood before she topples into into the pebbles and soft mud of a river bed which would soil her clean clothes. We see a mother preventing her daughter from getting dirty and from hurting herself, a fast reaction to stop injury on a small child. 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.

  • "Homo erectus." At the exact moment that a young human being walks for the first time, an eleven month-old girl infant conquers her fear and takes her first tentative upright unaided steps. After months of building lower leg strength by pushing and leaning against household objects, she now leaves the protective hands of a delighted but nervous mother who relishes the joyous moment of her offspring's great achievement. The girl's legs and hips help propel her forward motion, naturally making her an upright bi-pedal species. 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.

Caught with side-lit flash and ambient Mediterranean evening light, her with arms and fingers are outstretched and the balancing infant girl who is learning to stand on her own before attempting to walk, pretends to fly in mid-air, relishing a sense of space and freedom. We see the experience of an adult encouraging a developing human being with the confidence to stand erect with back straight. 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.

In the foreground we see a stack of discs called Insulators which stop the electricity carried in the conductor (the wires strung between each pylon) from jumping to the pylon and then down to earth. The cables disappear into the winter fog creating a Sci-Fi scene of 21st technology. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of 542 pylons that have already crossed 110 miles of English countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables from Dungeness coal-fired power station to West Ham sub station in London's East End - to power the West End's high supply demands.
