  • A police officer from the City of Atlanta checks the identity of a suspect on the police car's database during a night shift.

  • Striding across the picture in different directions, two office workers: A lady in a red coat whose head and identity is lost in shadow, and a man wearing a dark suit whose stride is purposeful and confident. A third person, another man, leans against a wall looking thoughtfully into the distance. There is more shadow than highlight in this scene taken at Broadgate, a private estate of financial institutions and global businesses in the heart of the City of London. There are no spring leaves on the trees whose shadows are falling on an opposite wall. The headless lady looks sinister minus her face and there is tension in this image of linear and diagonal space. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • "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.

  • In pouring rain, United States Air Force pilots stand like canmouflaged statues in the undergrowth near Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Washington. They are listening to a USAF survival instructor giving them advice about another challenge they are about to face, a few hundred yards ahead in the woods, so they listen intently in the saturatedconditions. They stand motionless, green figures in a green maze of foliage, wearing waterproof cagoules covering their backpacks which are shiny as the rain trickles down. They look like hunchbacks of the forest. The week-long survival course is held at the military facilities around Fairchild where the Air Force conducts a survival, escape and evasion course which combat pilots need to pass before rejoining their units for real-time warfare. This part of the lecture is held in the forest and forms part of an extensive physical and psychological assessment for young aviators on active service. In the future any one of them may be shot down behind enemy lines and need to use the lessons passed-on here to help facilitate their rescue by US forces. One pilot who passed this course in 1991, himself a Spokane-born boy, was F-16 pilot Scott O'Grady. He put his skills learned here to the test while evading Serb forces before being airlifted to safety and a hero's Presidential welcome.

  • A union jack flies proudly in front of tall Leylandii trees in a garden at Horning on the Norfolk Broads. As a statement of British territorial ownership in sububia where an Englishman's home is his castle is reflected also in his garden and the high boundaries between him and his neighbour, with the blight of the evergreen - a screen of privacy and supremacy. Even on sites of relatively poor culture, plants have been known to grow to heights of 15 metres (49 ft) in 16 years. Their rapid, thick growth means they are sometimes used to enforce privacy, but such use can result in disputes with neighbours whose own property becomes overshadowed.[

  • ID papers for an anonymous secret agent from Cottbus, Germany, an exhibit in the ministerial headquarters of the Stasi secret police in Communist East Germany, the GDR. Built in 1960, the complex now known as the Stasi Museum. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. Before the fall of the Wall, it was a 22-hectare complex of espionage whose centrepiece is the office and working quarters of the former Minister of State Security, Erich Mielke who considered their role as the 'shield and sword of the party', conducting one of the world's most efficient spying operations against its political dissenters during its 40-year old socialist history. The Stasi Museum is a 22-hectare complex of research  and memorial centre concerning the political system of the former East Germany. During Hitler's Third Reich, the Gestapo had one agent for every 2,000 citizens whereas the Stasi had approximately an spy for every 6.5. Here at the Stasi HQ alone 15,000 were employed plus the many regional stations. German media called East Germany 'the most perfected surveillance state of all time' - administered from this complex of offices.

  • During a street party in London's East End, the young men have decided to parade outside with their flag to show their devotion to their local club. One reaches down to pick up a patriotic hat during the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. West Ham was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. In 1904 the club relocated to their current Boleyn Ground stadium and will take over the 2012 Olympic stadium. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany. Street parties now - as they did in 1945 - played a large part in the country's patriotic well being.

  • name of their favourite football club. During a street party in London's East End, the young men have decided to parade outside with their flag to show their devotion to their local club. One reaches down to pick up a patriotic hat during the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. West Ham was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. In 1904 the club relocated to their current Boleyn Ground stadium and will take over the 2012 Olympic stadium. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany. Street parties now - as they did in 1945 - played a large part in the country's patriotic well being.

  • Five customers are seated in the window of the Manhattan Coffee Company on Shaftesbury Avenue, in London's Chinatown. 3 of the 5 are of Chinese ethnicity, one is talking on a mobile phone and the other two seem to be girlfriends. To their left is a man in deep thought but in front of every person there are red beakers. It is a successful shop with plenty of customers. The interior lighting is orange and red, making a cosy and welcoming atmosphere and two large signs in English indicate there are 30 more seats downstairs allowing more to spend their money and for more business to be made.

  • Seen through the window of an amusement arcade in London's Gerrard Street, Chinatown, we see the colourful neon lights that garishly shine from behind the glass. Beyond is the hustle and bustle of daily life in this famous street of London's Chinese community. We are slightly confused as to what is inside and what is out. We see the Georgian architecture reflected from behind and to the left is a slot-machine game called Hi-Roller which suggests the use of dice in this gambling activity. Passers-by can be seen outside, making their way past the many restaurants and businesses. In the middle of the scene is a yellow sign positioned by the Metropolitan Police warning against pickpockets as this area of the West End is known for petty crime.

  • An elderly man of South-Asian descent stands waiting for a bus in Southall, West London. To his right is a Bollywood action-hero poster, the tough-man actor is posing with his biceps bulging and in anothr picture, is hugging a beautiful girl. The movie advertised is by Rakesh Roshan, a producer, director and former actor in Bollywood films. It is an image of paradox, the old gentleman using a walking stick and dressed against a British multicultural winter, with hat and overcoat - and a tropical romance played out on the movie poster. It may be sunny but the biting winter day is raw with cold.

  • Two young British Asian men stand in front of a Bollywood action hero poster, while waiting for a bus in Southhall, West London, England. The lads are in their early twenties and are dressed against the cold European winter. The muscular Indian man in the movie poster is in his prime, posing as a tough guy and making a serious face towards the viewer, his rippling biceps wet with sweat. We see two ordinary young men living the harsh reality of life in a big English city, with all the pressures, paradoxes and cultural differences of India or Bangladesh, and that of multicultural Britain. It may be sunny but the biting winter day is raw with cold.

  • 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....
