  • We are looking up from the ground to crowds gathered in three levels of a multi-story car park to await athletes pass during the London Marathon. The runners will make their way through the streets of East London beneath these spectators who have been patiently waiting for their friends and families to pass below. It is a great viewpoint from which to view such a sporting spectacle and we are peering up at the supporters leaning against the discoloured (discolored) concrete architecture dating back to the 1970s. It is the best elevated place to witness the race. There are three rows of 5 columns totalling 15 seperate windows and each one is full of families young and old. They resemble the compartments of a garden pet hutch where rabbits are kept in cramped conditions.

  • The old church at Kilninian (built 1755, ten years after the Jacobite Rising)  but the site of worship with medieval tombstones dating from the 14th century, Kilninian, Isle of Mull, Scotland. church is one of the oldest, and until very recently, still used for worship.   Possibly standing on the site of an earlier medieval church, it first appears in the records of 1561, where it is stated that the parsonage of 'Keilnoening' had formerly belonged to the Abbot of Iona, one-third of the revenues going to the Bishop of the Isles as was customary in the diocese. Iona Abbey would have appointed a minister for the church at a stipend lower than the tithes. It is uncertain whether the church was dedicated to St Ninian, the apostle of Galloway, or to a local saint of the Early Christian period'.   It is also believed to have been once known as the Chapel of the Nine Maidens and in Gaelic  'Cill Naoi Nighean', although another possible name was The Church of the Holy Maidens - 'Cill Naoimh Nighean...(http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mull/kilninianchurch/index.html)

  • "Three cylinders of gas and air." A young mother enters the final stage of labour on a labour ward at Kings College Hospital, London. Using the painkiller Pethadine from a cylinder she draws on the mouthpiece to counteract the pain during contractions. A hospital identity tag bearing her name, date of birth and code number is secured to her wrist. She already looks exhausted, tolerating the rythmic stages of birth and she grips tightly a supportive hand. 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.

  • A middle-aged businessman looks up from paperwork during a working day in his 1970s Brussels office. The executive wearing a white shirt and tie pauses writing with a pencil to look over his glasses, past the In Tray and towards the viewer. There is no computer or electronic devices that describe this decade towards the end of the 20th century. The calendar shows us today's date of July 5th 1971. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • A husband and wife make their way along a pavement towards the entrance of the Ascot racecourse where the annual Ladies' Day event is held as part of the English social season calendar. Leading the way and carrying two walking sticks and in a polythene bag, his best jacket for the dress-code is important if one is allowed access to the private enclosures. He wears a top hat and waste coat as he hobbles along with wife in tow. She is behind him rummaging through her handbag perhaps looking for tickets or cash. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.

  • Wealthy friends enjoy bubbly and fizz during the annual Henley Regatta on a particularly hot afternoon at the Henley boat races, England. Dressed in quintessentially English blazers and English jackets and dresses, they are in jovial spirits during this annual festival of high-society, serious rowing and general clowning around on the rural Thames. In 1829 a boat race challenge was held between teams representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The venue chosen was a straight stretch of the Thames at the small town of Henley-on-Thames. Now held July and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season for the hoi polloi

  • A family risk their safety near a larger cruiser while passing-by in a tiny motorised boat on the River Thames during the Henley Royal Regatta boat races, England. The father and children float past the larger vessel that could badly damage their boat in a collision. The river is busy on Regatta weekend and vessels of all shapes and sizes occupy an otherwise narrow stretch of water in rural Oxfordshire. Parties and good-humour on-board the cruisers still means that river laws and good behaviour must be followed to avoid accidents.

  • In a grassy car park on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot racing week, a group of men (and one unseen lady) talk and relax, one smoking a cigar surrounded by the remains of a generous picnic lunch with a bouquet of flowers on their table. Trays of food and two bottles of Champagne have been consumed during a break from betting and socialising. They are dressed in formal morning dress of top hat, waistcoat, tails with two of the men wearing red roses in their lapel button holes, all traditional and obligatory dress code in the Royal Enclosures which can be seen by visitors in the public car parks near the famous Berkshire race course. In the background we see a silver Rolls-Royce car and a lady sitting in its boot (trunk) also eating picnic food. The day is overcast, but despite this, they are in a joking and excitable mood. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.

  • Smoke has been discovered in the basement of a shop in Market Street, Newport town centre, south Wales. We look down into a dark hole where two fire fighters - one of which is a senior officer, with two stripes on his helmet - have gone down a ladder to find the source of the smoke while wearing breathing apparatus (BA) as a precaution.  While looking up they discuss the possibilities of a seat of fire elsewhere so they talk to their colleagues who crouch over the open floor of the business who dialled 999 for the fire brigade to attend this incident. It is 1984 and the firemens' equipment looks dated, during an era when uniform material was not of a high fire-retardant specification and nor were their helmets which went through important design changes.

  • With a look of delight on her face, a four year-old girl stamps through fallen snow in a field near her home in Bielefeld, Germany. Wearing a vibrant red bobble hat and matching coat, she smiles towards the viewer with the pleasure of any child enjoying the excitement of fresh snow. Ski or sledge tracks can be seen at her feet but she is the only person in this empty landscape, as if she's walking on her own through the snowy hills. It is the winter of 1967 and the reds are very vibrant and dominant from the Kodachrome film used which also has a wonderful muted blue colour cast in the mid-tones giving the picture a chilly, wintry feel reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded and dated look.

  • A detail of a Victorian house gable in the Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea. Ornate blue painted woodwork looks fresh and clean despite it being 100 years old. The name of the property reads as Essex House and the date of its construction as 1896. A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. A gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it.

  • 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.
