  • An English caucasian lady smiles at something of interest to the viewer's right. She is a wrinkled female in her sixties, a healthy person with her own original teeth and whose untidy hair is greying and whose skin is slightly tanned under a summer sun. She wears a blue shirt with a wide collar, fashionable in the 1980s (eighties) and has a bemused, attentive expression as if entertained by something of humour out of frame. This is someone's mother and grandmother, at an age when her hard-working life is nearly over and her pension is hopefully covering her everyday needs.

  • A Nepali lady sits on corrugated iron alongside a giant satellite dish on the roof of her home' in a suburb of Kathmandu, Nepal. We see the sunny street below in the background and other rooftops of scattered aerials, roughly-made brick walls. She has hung her colourful (colorful) clothes washing out to dry on a line and on the structure's bowl-like shape that points towards space and signals from the outside world. It was designed to receive television signals from Nepal's main TV station is Nepal Television (NTV) whose programmes are mostly serials from Pakistan and Hindi films. Nepalis however, search the wider-world for their news digest and western culture, especially during governmental crackdown and censorship during the democracy protest disturbances of 2006. King Gyanendra imposed severe media restrictions after assuming direct control of the country the previous year. The scene is of new technology in the backdrop of a poor, third world country who freedoms of expression and experience of western democracy has been tested in recent years.

  • Three choristers sing hymns outside the Norman-built St Bartholomew the Great church in Smithfield, City of London. Open-mouthed they recite the songs with great enthusiasm, all looking down and concentrating on the Holy words from their songbooks. Dressed in white and red choir cassock robes they are all identical in their facial expression, their stance and posture. The Priory Church of St Bartholomew-the-Great is an Anglican church located at West Smithfield in the City of London, founded as an Augustinian priory in 1123.

  • 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..

  • A crowd of workers listen to speeches by their trade union during a council strike in Liverpool. A sea of faces looks towards us, their expressions serious and concerned at the loss of their jobs and livelihoods.

  • As bright sunlight fills a bare studio room, and a wooden cross is propped up in the corner, Paula Douthett (left) and three other members of the evangelical Sacred Dance Ministry (Group) perform a moment from the biblical nativity scene in her house at Milbourne St Andrew, Dorset, England. Together they are acting as part of the International Christian Dance Fellowship whose performers include performers, choreographers and teachers of all styles of dance technique, as well as those who dance in worship, intercession, healing, evangelism and prophetic interpretation. In the middle, a lady pretends to be holding the baby Jesus while the others play the roles of angels as they express wonder and admiration for this miraculous moment.

  • Facing the viewer and from slightly above head height with a long lens, we see a massed crowd of men and women with hands raised in agreement at taking industrial action. These people are English Liverpool council workers recently made redundant and have gathered in the city centre to express their willingness to act againist their former-employers. It is a unanimous decision and all are in agreement with everyone's hands - some higher than others - defiantly up in the air.

  • Relatives and friends remember the missing a week after the attacks on the twin towers on 9/11. During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, eccentric New Yorkers gather at the city's Armory to offer help and support by handing our fluffy bunnies to passers-by. The streets between 66th and 67th Streets, in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side, DNA samples were taken at the Armory so human remains might be identified. It was therefore a point of focus for those with missing relatives who attached thousands of posters to walls with pictures and messages to loved-ones in the hope of being reunited. Emotions were running high and many citizens offered spiritual aide such as food and drink. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and unity..

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, crowds of New Yorkers gathered at barriers where streets were closed, near Ground Zero, to offer help for volunteers: Spare beds offered, free food distributed, and  offers of salvation. A man here has a board urging prayer and revival for those feeling spiritually adrift. American flags hang from buildings and businessmen and tourists talk in the street with some wearing dust masks. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as America sought to express their emotions and a unity. .

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, an American flag has been sprayed with aerosol paint on a grassy knoll by a local garage owner near Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and a unity.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a Cowboy.com ad (a software company) is seen on top of a pole at the roadside on Highway 27 in Mt Airy, near Baltimore, Maryland. At a time when a show of unity and patriotic support was important to Americans, many sought to express their anger and patriotic duty to send clear messages to those held responsible. "Don't Mess with the USA" was a favourite message but this internet company's cowboy advert complete with stetson and mirrored glasses was also a popular motif favouring aggressive replies.

  • Attending to a floral memorial of Lillies in a 5th Avenue store front in mid-town Manhattan. In the days following the September 11th attacks, a store window dresser is seen through the glass with Fifth Avenue reflected behind. The words "In Memory and Gratitude" are written in block capitals on the window and a passer-by walks briskly past the large floral display and the large US flag that hangs vertically in mourning for those killed and those heroes helping to uncover their remains in the debris. America sought to express their anger and patriotic unity by installing these shrines in the frontages of businesses and in homes as New Yorkers try to pick up the pieces of their lives.

  • Circling the base of the Washington Memorial in Washington DC, American flags fly at half-mast in the week after the September 11th attacks on the USA. A young couple lie on the grass beneath this magnificant obelisk that reaches beyond the top of frame into a clear blue sky. A sense of patriotism is running high with the country in a state of national mourning as flags alll over the country are lowered to remember those killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon here in the nation's capital and in Pennsylvania. the US sought to express their anger and patriotic unity with gestures at public monuments and in the privacy of the home. The 555 foot (170m) high marble, granite and sandstone Memorial on the National Mall honours George Washington. Completed in 1884, it remains the world's tallest stone structure.

It is a steel structure located at the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, opened in 1994. Roller-coaster freaks raise their arms above their heads though one's instinct is to hold on for dear life. Although it is no longer the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world, it is still one of the scariest roller-coaster experiences on offer. Extended caption ..

  • The shadow of a tourist is seen across a central pillar covered in graffiti on Ponte Vecchio that crosses River Arno, Florence. The names of past visitors are etched on the medieval plaster and beyond is a rower who sculls upstream on the river towards the boating club that lies just beyond the bridge at the water's edge. The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a Medieval bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. It has been described as Europe's oldest wholly-stone, closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge. To enforce the prestige of the bridge, in 1593 the Medici Grand Dukes prohibited butchers from selling there; their place was immediately taken by several gold merchants.

  • One week after the September 11th attacks in New York and in Washington DC, two ex-US Ranger veterans visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC. One helps another to climb up to trace the imprint of their dead friend's name, mentioned with 58,195 other recorded casualties on its polished wall. The average age of those men was 19 in the sixties and seventies. The nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, and the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to 'find' their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth..

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th we see members of the National Guard wearing dust masks standing beneath the high columns of the Federal Hall, located at 26 Wall Street in New York City. It was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington's first inauguration in 1789. It is also the place where the United States Bill of Rights was passed. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. Days after the historical events, security was prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.

In the foreground are some of those mens' identities whose average age was 19 in the sixties and seventies. A hazy sun rises over the point of the Washington Memorial at a time when the nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, when the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to trace their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth. .

  • Six delegates sit down in good humour at the annual Party Conference of 1993 at Blackpool during the premiership of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In the centre of frame a lady is sitting on her partner's lap, holding her security pass and wearing a chintzy royal blue ball gown. The male friend is holding her around the waist with both hands and they chat with a third person on the end. Behind the lady in blue are three other people, one of whom is inspecting her cleavage to the surprise of another lady who is staring wide-eyed down at the lady's bosoms. It is a humorous, ridiculous scene at a formal political function

  • A wife gives an tight, affectionate hug to her husband on the Promenade at North Bay, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. There is no such showing of reciprocated love from the man who continues to read a cricket report in the sports page of his tabloid newspaper. She is wearing a floral summer top and he is topless. In the background we see a bustling sea front. People are walking along the Prom, enjoying the sun and warmth of this usually chilly area of Britain.

  • A memorial has been placed where a man and father called Nigel died at Huggin Hill, City of London, England, UK. Were we to ignore this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be an anonymous statistic but flowers are left to die too and touching poems and dedications are written by family and loved-ones. One reads: ?To Daddy.  Love you always and forever. Your little girl. 24th Dec 1967 - 9th May 2001.? From a project about makeshift shrines: ?Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to those who die suddenly - ordinary folk killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remembrances.

  • The word Thank You written in chalk on Ramsgate's sea wall near the former ferry terminal in the Port of Ramsgate, on 8th January 2019, in Ramsgate, Kent, England. The Port of Ramsgate has been identified as a 'Brexit Port' by the government of Prime Minister Theresa May, currently negotiating the UK's exit from the EU. Britain's Department of Transport has awarded to an unproven shipping company, Seaborne Freight, to provide run roll-on roll-off ferry services to the road haulage industry between Ostend and the Kent port - in the event of more likely No Deal Brexit. In the EU referendum of 2016, people in Kent voted strongly in favour of leaving the European Union with 59% voting to leave and 41% to remain.
