  • In front of an ad for Mercury, the 90s mobile phone network provider, a city worker uses his mobile phone in a London street.  Actor Harry Enfield was the face of the media campaign on tv and in print to help promote the young industry, still then an expensive accessory for the ordinary Briton. Mercury Communications, was a national telephone company in the United Kingdom, formed in 1981 as a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless to challenge the monopoly of British Telecom (BT). Mercury was the first competitor to BT, and although it proved only moderately successful at challenging their dominance, it was to set the path for new communication companies to attempt the same. In 1997, Mercury ceased to exist as a brand with its amalgamation into the operations of Cable & Wireless Communications and totally exited from the telecommunications business by 1999.

  • A Catholic confessional between a penitent parishioner and her local priest at St. Lawrence's Catholic church in Feltham, London. While kneeling to face the priest, the lady speaks in absolute confidence and secrecy to a screen beyond which the man listens and offers spiritual advice. A confessional is a small, enclosed booth used for the Sacrament of Penance, often called confession, or Reconciliation. Usually, the priest and penitent are in separate compartments and speak to each other through a grid or lattice and a crucifix hangs over the grille. But here, a screen grille inserted in it separates the two. The penitent may be able to see the priest through the screen, but the priest can usually never see the penitent - hearing instead of the person's sinful admissions.

  • Businessmen sip morning coffee in one of the many cafes in the financial district of the capital called the Square Mile, also the oldest area of London named by the Romans. Five gentlemen wearing suits drink or talk in the window of this bar near the Bank of England.

  • An Aini ethnic minority woman sits on a bed with a young boy in her home in Xiang Dao Ya village. Costume styles in the past were identified by discrete regions and sub regions, but due to a number of factors some groups are more widely dispersed.  This may be due to migration or search for land, and more recently, as a result of re-settlement of groups by the Chinese government, made necessary by the construction of new roads, reservoirs and hydroelectric schemes. The People's Republic of China recognises 55 ethnic minority groups in China in addition to the Han majority. The ethnic minorities form 9.44% of mainland China and Taiwan's total population and the greatest number can be found in Yunnan Province, 34% (25 ethnic groups).
