  • Three Parisians gain an advantage by climbing higher than pavement level to watch the patriotic Bastille Day Procession from a doorway on the Avenue Champs-Élysées, Paris. The young men have lodged themselves awkwardly a metre above the ground, resting their feet on various door catches and ledges, as if floating in mid-air. On a street traffic sign the French words 'Defense de Stationner' are written which in English translates as 'No Stopping', referring to vehicles not pedestrians. There is graffiti tagging sprayed on the walls and a brown stain at the bottom of a drainpipe

  • A Weightwatchers club of ladies all hoping to lose a few Pounds line up at the scales during one of their weekly sessions in London. With her hands on generous hips, a woman wearing a red dress stands as a leader of the evening makes her calculations. Much depends on the womens' success to reach their individual targets - the ethos in Weightwatchers being to reward the good. As they say of their ProPoints plan: ".. it is a fantastic counting system that allows you to eat what you like, when you like, until you reach your daily total. It guides you to make healthier food choices, eating more of the things that are good for you and for weight loss, and less of the things that aren't."

  • In mid-flight between Hamburg in Germany and London Heathrow, we see a passenger?s view of a climbing airliner's port wing and the hazy German landscape below at a high altitude. The sky above reflects its soft blue hue on the upper surface of the left wing but the air below is a soft pink, a rural patchwork of fields and villages. As an example of aerodynamic design, the flying machine is a perfect gesture towards the conquest of flight, copied from the characteristics of a bird?s anatomy. As art, the mere beauty of taking to the air and maintaining level, organised speed is so routine, we rarely look our from our window to marvel at how and why. 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. .

  • As queues of Londoners line up to gain a ride on a bus during a one-day strike by underground tube unions, a lady with head covered in a scarf reads a newspaper at Victoria Station, on 8th May 1989, in London, England. More than 3,000 British Rail employees launched an unofficial overtime ban, walking out in protest at the end of their eight-hour shifts. Thousands were disrupted at Victoria station in central London, on their way to their inner-city destinations. The buses have a maximum capacity and too few seats for the commuters waiting patiently in line.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • The outline of a generic airliner passes overhead as it takes-off at London Heathrow airport. With the strong shape of its aerodynamic surfaces, its wings and lowered flaps to gain maximum lift at this sea level atmosphere. The jet's undercarriage wheels are still lowered and the circular jet engines are clearly defined by strong sunlight. The airline operator is anonymous as is the manufacturer of the aircraft as it contunues its journey under blue skies to a faraway destination.

  • Tourists queue to gain entrance below the golden gates of  the Palace of Versaille, near Paris. A total of 100,000 gold leaves were crafted into the shapes of fleur de lys, crowns, masks of Apollo, cornucopias and the crossed capital Ls representing the Sun King. Private donors contributed £4 million to rebuild the 15-ton work, and a plethora of historians and top craftsmen - sculptors, gilders, wrought iron craftsmen and ornament makers - were drafted in to ensure an exact replica of the original built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in the 1680s.

  • Flight Lieutenant Dan Simmons of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, zips up his g-pants before climbing into his Hawk jet. G-pants counteract the effects of high gravity stresses that jet-fighters impose on the human body, automatically inflating and squeezing blood back to the thorax and head when blood drains towards the legs. As he attaches the zipper, he rests his straight right leg on a retractable step which helps him and his ground crew engineers to gain access to the cockpit, high above the ground. Hanging from another part of his airplane is his life-vest which he will wear around his neck, whilst in flight. Flight Lieutenant Simmons wears heavy-duty black boots which are regulation footwear for flying personnel and dressed in his red flying suit that is famous around the world.

  • A young three year-old boy has his hair cut by his mother in the family South London home. Lifting his hair with her fingers, the mum snips with a pair of scissors. While lifting her left elbow to gain the right angle of her cutting, we see her holding a comb in her mouth. The boy's elder sister looks on offering unhelpful comments which will eventually lead to an exchange of unkind words between the siblings while their mother concentrates hard on not making a mess of the kid's haircut. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • Russian Anastasia Dobromyslova (from Tver, Moscow) is the highest-ranking ladies' darts player, having beaten the 7 times champion Trina Gulliver. Here, she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Attractive and feminine, she is confident and at ease with her game amid many lesbian women who frequent darts matches like this. She concentrates on each dart thrown and is oblivious to the audience's noise behind her in an upstairs pub at the holiday park. This is one of her many tournaments she travels to during the darts events calendar although she needs to repeatedly renew her visa to gain re-entry into the UK.

  • A holy Sadhu man attracts a crowd on the Maidan in central Calcutta, India. Near some ballustrades built by the British during the last years of the Raj, the man is leaning forward on his knees and his head is buried in gravel. Practicing Tapas or Niyamas, is one form of Austerity that holy men like this perform to cleanse themselves of bad thoughts. It is a conservation of energy; an increase of power in the system by sense control; a process of positive-thought, self-imposed  hardships and inner-strength - all to gain a higher being for oneself. They might stand in cold water in winter, stand on or bury their heads in earth. Niyamas also breeds non-violence, truthfullness, non-stealing, moderation, non-possessiveness, purity, contentment, discipline, study and surrender.

  • The two iconic towers of Wembley Stadium are demolished during the the large regeneration of the famous football venue and surrounding district, on 6th December 2002, in London, England. Wembley Stadium, was the most famous football ground in the world. Because England was the birthplace of the modern game and shared with Scotland the founding role in international football, Wembley, as it evolved into England's national stadium, gained worldwide regard as the citadel of football and as hallowed ground. After England began playing teams other than Scotland at Wembley in 1951, the world's national sides considered an invitation to play there a great honour. England played 223 matches at old Wembley including the historic 1966 Jules Rimet World Cup Final.

  • A memorial has been placed where ?Sarah? died near the A29 in Pulborough, Sussex, England, UK. Were we to ignore this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be a statistic but flowers are left to there too with touching poems and dedications written by family and loved-ones. One reads: ?A little Angel lent, not given/to be born on earth/and grow in Heaven/We have lost a Princess, but gained an Angel/To take you so soon is tragic we know/but when Jesus calls, you just have to go." 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. We lay wreaths to the ordinary who die suddenly - folk killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on roadsides and cities with simple, haunting roadside remembrances.
