  • A group of attractive young ladies sit together in a train compartment. They are all on their way from London's Waterloo mainline station to Royal Ascot in Berkshire for Ladies Day during the Royal Ascot racing week. Wearing their best clobber and obligatory headwear for the posh event, the seated females are dressed in summer skirts and tops, in readiness for a warm day at the races. Sharing a joke and with plastic glasses filled with champagne from a bottle that one has been serving from, the 7 women are in good spirits in their private first class compartment that has a number 1 on the outside door. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.

  • In the middle of a field serving as a grass car park, three couples celebrate the Ladies' Day event at Royal Ascot. Holding their glasses to toast a grand day out at this annual sporting event in the social calendar, the gentlemen are dressed in formal top hats and tails, the ladies in wide hats and summer dresses. Grinning and looking smug in their upp-class social status, they are seated eccentrically and comically around a plastic table with a tablecloth, two Candelabras and their picnic lunch plates full of fine food.

  • A mother holds the hand of her 5 year-old son during a visit to London zoo in the early 1960s. Looking frightened and upset, the small lad walks hand in hand with his mum, away from where there are scary wild animals in cages but still a frightening experience to a little person. The mother is smartly-dresed for the family day out to the capital and its zoo in Regents Park. It was was recorded on 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.

  • Large arrows coloured red, green and yellow point north, west and east - or up, right and left - in three directions, to offer directions to seminars for accountants during their annual Academy Day held for 3,000 of company London employees at Excel in London's Docklands, England. The people are either confidently pacing forward, standing still to seek guidance or simply spontaneously emerging from the shadows to a brighter future, a moment when freedom of choice is offered and the road ahead dictates their fate. It is a scene of corporate theatre and each employee will attend this fair where motivational pep-talks from executives, outside speakers and gurus will talk to large groups of personnel so their presence on this day away from the office is vital for the year's business ahead.

  • Standing near Hougemont Farm, Waterloo, Belgium, scene of some of the fiercest fighting on the battlefield on the day in 1815 when French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the (Iron) Duke of Wellington, we see the current Duke, Brigadier Arthur Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington, KG, LVO, OBE, MC, DL, FKC (born in Rome on 2nd July 1915). He is a British hereditory peer and a retired officer in the British Army. When he succeeded his father as Duke, he was known as Marquess Douro but is now styled His Grace The Duke of Wellington. Making an occasional visit to the battlefields, he stands on a raw winter's day on the very landscape where his ancestor's brave British men fought off a fierce French attack, the Duke gazes out over the rolling hills that proved the undoing of Napoleon and which changed the course of European history.

  • Against orange evening light, a forest of high-rise cranes stand upright at the masive Canary Wharf development on London's Docklands, England. It is early evening and the crane drivers have left for the day, the day's shift have stopped work before resuming tomorrow. The silhouetted lines of each structure stand out clearly against the skyline before the regeneration of this region of East London grows upward. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • Standing near Hougemont Farm, Waterloo, Belgium, scene of some of the fiercest fighting on the battlefield on the day in 1815 when French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the (Iron) Duke of Wellington, we see the current Duke, Brigadier Arthur Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington, KG, LVO, OBE, MC, DL, FKC (born in Rome on 2nd July 1915). He is a British hereditory peer and a retired officer in the British Army. When he succeeded his father as Duke, he was known as Marquess Douro but is now styled His Grace The Duke of Wellington. Making an occasional visit to the battlefields, he stands on a raw winter's day on the very landscape where his ancestor's brave British men fought off a fierce French attack, the Duke gazes out over the rolling hills that proved the undoing of Napoleon and which changed the course of European history.

  • A schoolboy of Afro-Caribbean descent stands looking confused on a platform at Victoria mainline station in central London. The young lad looks smart in a new school uniform of cap, blazer, long trousers and polished black shoes. We might guess that it is the start of a new academic year and that he is about to attend a new school for which he needs to take a train on his own. His mother and younger and older sister are also to the far right of the picture so he may go with his elder sibling carrying a multi-coloured umbrella and a bright blue briefcase containing his lunch and a few items needed for lessons. Surrounded by adult commuters, some of who look on with mild amusement, also make await their train from the city out of town. Mostly, people mind their own business and what is a special day for the boy will become a much-travelled route.

  • A class of schoolboys accompanied by their teachers play on the shingle at the water's edge in the south coast seaside town of Brighton. The East Pier is resplendent with amusement rides and attractions that populate its long structure, jutting out into the calm English Channel beyond which is the French coast further south. The children are still in their school shirts, shorts and ties but have taken off their shoes and socks to frolic and enjoy some precious fresh-air and the freedom that childhood brings. According to British legal requirements, schoolchildren on away day visits must have accompanying adults with a ratio of 1:xx though it appears this group's quota is less with two teachers per 28 boys.

  • Near the junction of the 400 to Buckhead, the 401 highway divides and splits during afternoon rush-hour traffic which slows and builds up so that vehicles and cars back-up as they head home and out of Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The inner median is coned off during some construction work which slows the traffic even more. Crossing the 5-lane road comes a train of Atlanta's own mass-transit system, the MARTA network and it approaches the overpass with care. We see the infrastructure of a modern metropolis at the busiest time of day when the exodus to get home puts the roads and feeder lanes under the most pressure. Fortunately, the weather is fine with good visibility making drivers' journeys a little shorter and more tolerable but it shows too America's habit and dependency on car culture.

  • 'Last Day' is written on a closed taylors business in London, a victim of the UK recession. Reduced prices and services are listed on the glass with a poster urging customers to grab a bargain. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • A young blonde girl of approximately 3 years-old stands on a lawn looking delighted. She giggles with great mirth at something that pleases her - possibly the way her father has posed her as if she's a ballerina, or maybe because it is her birthday and her present is the blue dress she is showing off to the viewer. The girl holds out her arms while holding a special pair of sunglasses. It is the summer of 1967 and this is a housing estate for British soldiers stationed in Bielefeld, Germany still during the Cold War. The girl's father is a solder serving in the British Army and the they all live in a house nearby with other expat families. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones and where a small light-leak has affected the far right, reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • An executive peers down on his employees on a giant screen, addressing his loyal audience of his staff who have congregated at an Academy Day held for 3,000 of company London employees at Excel in London's Docklands, England. The hall is packed and his disciples listen and watch intently and obediently to watch their Leader speak like a Big Brother character, who ernestly and sincerely talks down to them despite being dressed casually for such a large event. Each employee will attend this brainstorming fair where later, motivational pep-talks from executives, outside speakers and gurus will talk to large groups of personnel so their presence on this day away from the office is vital for the year's business ahead.
