  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, the breaking news flashes from Fox TV's studios that there are expected to be no more survivors found at Ground Zero. The tragic message reads 'No Signs of Life' in large red letters, read by passers-by along the on the Avenue of the Americas on Manhattan. As the news travels across the building, the camera blurs other TV pictures of live broadcasts with a sense of urgency, speed and desperation in the fruitless search for life.

A life-sized cut-out of Barack Obama stands to the screen's left and the new President smiles towards the camera but his adversary, John McCain looks across the London pub as if talking to the young couple who sit without expression in this historic political election which saw the election of America's first black Commander in chief.

  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

The Sun's own headline refers to the previous day when Murdoch sat before a Parliamentary Select Committee to answer questions about the nature of phone hacking into private voicemails of victims and their grieving families. Murdoch's overall message was the committee grilling was his most humble day.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, we see anti-war graffiti written in a circular chalk graphic on the path in front of the Lincoln Memorial of Washington DC's National Mall. The words 'Break the Cycle (of) War' appear as early morning joggers blur in the background beyond whom, the Washington Memorial is seen below the rising sun and a rising mist. Soon afterwards the graffiti was hosed away by park rangers, eager to remove anti-militarist and unpatriotic sentiments at a time before the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as America sought to express their emotions and unity..

  • The last moments of street lighting illuminates the pavement and road as dawn breaks over the shoreline on the untidy and empty seafront in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens on the Marathon road. This town is the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC to deliver news of the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of (Marathonas) Marathon. Nowadays, this is a rather unattractive town with few echoes of Greece's ancient glories although the 29th modern Olympic circus came home in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.
