  • A seller of flowers stands looking down a street in the Polish capital, Warsaw. Holding a single bouquet, the elderly man has located himself on the corner of Zapiecek Street (Zapiecek means place behind the stove) awaiting a buyer. With his hand on one hip, he has laid more yellow and red flowers that he has probably grown himself and is trying to make a meagre living from. But there are few people on this street this early in the oldest part of Warsaw and the walls appear to be damp, with discoloured plaster after decades of decay under a Communist government. Old paving slabs on the pavement and a cobbled road give a sense of history and wartime destruction for these streets saw many atrocities during the German occupation in WW2. This is a scene of pessimism and poverty yet with a small degree of hope in the fresh flowers.

  • An elderly Hungarian woman pauses to smile at the viewer during a busy morning in Budapest's Central Market Hall (Hungarian: Nagycsarnok), on F?vám Tér in the 9th district. The market is the largest indoor market in the Hungarian capital and is where this lady and many other market traders converge on every weekday morning to sell their own produce. This woman has a lined face suggesting she has had a hard life under a Communist regime. She still wears a traditional Hungarian covered head favoured by older people in rural communities but is now dying out as headwear for a younger generation.
