  • The Mr Chelsea Body Beautiful talent competition is held on the Kings Road in London. Entrants are handsome males and girls showing their muscles and well-trimmed bodies. We see hairy chests, pectorals and biceps on-show by these young exhibitionists who parade themselves in the open-air. Slightly behind them there are also two elderly ladies looking like sisters or perhaps twins. They were once beautiful themselves and sit eagerly on a bench against a wall peering at the handsome young men, wishing they were young again. One holds a walking stick and the other grasps a bottle of wine. It is a scene of young and old, of youth and ageing beauty.

  • A detail of an ornate Victorian brass letter box plate. Seen in close-up, the single and plural word 'Letters' is printed in upper-case capitals on the flap that one must lift to insert postal mail from the outside of this heavy, glossy black doors in the seaside town of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. The brass plate sits in its fitted slot and has been carefully polished these last decades to ensure it still looks as handsome as it might have some time in the Victorian era when brass door knockers and other elaborate fittings were fixed to houses, showing true quality craftsmanship - a factor largely ignored in the mass-produced products of today.

  • 13 year-old Adam leader celebrates his Bar Mitzvah by holding a lavish party in Borehamwood in north London, England. Paid for by his parents, the celebration took place in a hotel off the A1 road and here Adam can be seen surrounded like a celebrity by a gaggle of teenage girl friends, one of whom is dressed in a thin-strapped dress and pendant, giggling at a joke and all enjoying the occasion. Adam looks dashing in a rented dinner jacket complete with bow-tie. He is fresh-faced and clean-cut, cutting a handsome figure much-admired by his female friends. .

  • An athletic man poses against a wall on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida. This fine specimen of a man wears roller-blades and trousers tucked into his skates with a yellow t-shirt with the word Frequency across his pectoral muscles. His shdow appears across the wall and because of the angle, his shape has been greatly exaggerated, his body becoming a much wider, stockier proportion than the reality. He stands with an arm resting high on the wall and the other on his hip, almost in a feminine manner. He is nonetheless the epitome of maleness, of virility with the healthy physique that women adore and other men are jealous of! The sdidewalk pavement arcs around a corner and the wall with its long shadow is a strong diagonal line across the picture, disappearing to the far right.

  • Looking up towards majestically tall 100 year-old mature Ash trees and blue skies, the sun glints off a window pane in an Edwardian age semi-detached house on Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24 (its post code) South London England. It is a beauitiful winter afternoon in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. A couple are walking their dogs past an elegant line of period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • Two friends of Hispanic-descent have stopped on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida to talk with associates while sitting in their SUV 4x4 pick-up-style truck. Each have hold of two Dogo Argentino mastiff puppies, one of which is hanging his chin over through the open window of the vehicle, its long claws also very clearly seen and its freckly nose pointing towards the viewer. The other young animal is being propped up by the car's driver, its belly visible to anyone leaning inside the car. Both dogs are albino-coloured with floppy ears and pink eyes while the two healthy men are dark-skinned and in good-humour, one wearing a singlet vest and prominent silver necklace and the other topless so warm is this summer day.

  • On a night out with friends, a group of five ladies are queuing for screen 2 in a Croydon cinema, South  London to see a Bollywood romantic film. On a poster behind, a giant movie hero's face looks towards the viewer with a hand raised in a salute. The man is of a dashing, handsome character  whose dark skin looks like a tanned European person. The women are in good spirits before their favourite film and gather together in the cinema's foyer in expectation. One lady is dressed in a long, smart dress and is staring with wide open eyes. She has a large handbag over the left shoulder and her long hair is spilling down her back....
