  • An officer from the Atlanta Police Department puts his boot on a man's chest who is lying still in the gutter on the street. He and another person have been fighting in the downtown area and the officer has arrived in his patrol car after reports that a street brawl needed his interception. The officer's belt with a gun secured in its holster  can be seen from a low ground level angle. It is a desolate and sinister place and the lights from a passing car and the green fluorescent glow from a parking lot (car park) is in the background. The police officer needs to calm the violent situation, pacifying the two men before the matter gets out of hand and preventing him from causing more trouble, he places his weight on the thorax to pin the male on the ground.

  • In evening city mist, a car park attendant stands guard over his downtown Atlanta parking lot. Next to him is a giant billboard for Marlboro with the classic face of the Marlboro cowboy, depicted drawing on a cigarette and wearing the traditional wide-brimmed stetson. They are low in the frame and the gloomy and eerie mist sits oppressively around the tall buildings, obscuring their top floors. Office lights still burn and a bright street light shines with the intensity of a small solar flare. The Marlboro Man is part of a tobacco advertising campaign for Marlboro cigarettes. The Marlboro Man was first conceived by the Leo Burnett agency in 1954. The image involves a rugged cowboy or cowboys, in nature with only a cigarette. The ads were originally conceived as a way to popularize filtered cigarettes, which at the time were considered feminine. Actor and author William Thourlby is said to have been the first Marlboro Man. The models who portrayed the Marlboro Man were New York Giants Quarterback Charley Conerly, New York Giants Defensive Back Jim Patton, Darrell Winfield, Dick Hammer, Brad Johnson, Bill Dutra, Dean Myers, Robert Norris, Wayne McLaren, David McLean and Tom Mattox. Two of them, McLaren and McLean, died of lung cancer.

  • A half-eaten bar of chocolate has been left on an armchair supplied by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is seen in a crew room at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Much of the facilities at RAF and MoD outposts are basic and spartan leaving small luxuries to be imported by visiting air and ground crew. In this case, the 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, are occupying this building while on their detachment to the British Mediterranean base while putting the finishing touches to their air display routines ready for PDA (or 'Public Display Authority'). After passing this test, they are then allowed by senior RAF officers to perform as a military aerobatic show in front of the public - following a special test flight when their every move and mistake is assessed and graded. Until that day arrives, their training and practicing is done in the privacy of their own airfield at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, UK or here in the glare of Akrotiri. The pilots are called Reds and their ground crew, the Blues after their summer air show uniforms. Since 1965 the team has flown over 4,000 air shows in 52 countries.

  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.
