  • A lone Tornado jet fighter arcs across a typically overcast sky at Southend-on-Sea on a Bank Holiday Sunday. Well-defined figures of children and adults either play nonchalantly on the beach at low tide, or watch in awe as the aircraft thunders over the Thames Estuary mud. A few stranded yachts stand upright in the low water and a groyne stretches out to sea towards the Kent coast, seen in the distance. It is a bleak and depressingly empty scene and the jet is merely a dot in the grey English sky, traditionally familiar summer weather. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903. .

  • Despite a gloriously bright summer afternoon, we see a depressing corner of Southend-on-Sea's Adventure Island. A young couple sits on some white towels in front of a wall that is adorned with graffiti and has its paint rubbed away. It is a scene of squalor and desolation in a town that makes revenue from the day-tripper holiday market. Since Victorian times, many Londoners have traditionally come to this south-east coast on the Thames Estuary, close to the capital. Towns like this have seen a marked decline since the advent of the package tourism in favour of exotic beaches in Spain.

  • A mother holds her 3 year-old son during summer time in the early 1960s. Looking up from a low angle, see see the mother and her young son in sunlight, made dark by underexposure of the film, recorded on a camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1964. The mast and rigging of a small boat can be seen behind so they must be at the seaside, near from where they live in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. The sky is a deep blue and the shapes on their heads almost merge with the background. It was recorded on a film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • 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 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
