  • Seen low from behind stage, a male voice choir are lined up to sing during their performance at an open-air temporary auditorium during the Lambeth Show, an inner-city cultural and family event held annually in Dulwich Park, a leafy suburb of South London. The choristers are dressed in white shirts which are untidily untucked from their dark trousers (pants). Their heads echo the purple, yellow and red spots from the overhead lights. The front of stage is covered by a curved ribbed roof structure that arches over the mens' heads. The singers look small in scale to the cavernous height of this ceiling, occupying a small percentage of the frame. We cannot see the choir's conductor, nor their audience but we get an impression of wide area in which to project their voices

  • "A Day Away from Choosing a Name." A baby girl of only two weeks old cranes her neck around to see where her mother's soothing voice is coming from. Wrapped up in a checked blanket to keep her snug and warm, she is learning to recognise familiar sounds, focus on close objects and learn about her own small world. She has a round face with a squashed, button nose and has opened her mouth to bend round in her mum's direction. Her name has yet to be recorded with the local register office, a legal requirement that needs completeting within six weeks after a birth. 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.

  • Visitors inspect the row of childrens' graves in the churchyard of St James, Cooling, Kent. Charles Dickens wrote about these graves in the opening of his famous novel Great Expectations. Dickens lived nearby in Higham and referred to this row of children's tombstones now inevitably referred to as Pip's graves. Dickens pictures them as '....five little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long which were arranged in a neat row ... and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine....' In fact the Cooling graves belong to the children of two families, aged between 1 month and about a year and a half, who died in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

  • A 'Bodil' passive eavesdropping transmitter from Bulgaria powered by a phone line, an exhibit in 'Haus 1' 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. 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. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people in an effort to root out the class enemy. 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.

  • Young travellers try out a Shetland pony at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep (and horse) fair in Somerset, England. Leading round the horse on a rope, the traveller boys parade around a field on the outskirts of the village. Set in the Mendip Hills, in the south-western English county of Somerset, the Priddy Sheep fair is host to an odd mix of farmers and travellers (commonly and incorrectly known as gypsies). In this field set aside purely for travellers, many with West Country accents but also with nearby Welsh and Irish too, deals are done with a traditional spit on the hand and a smacking of palms, selling a pony to another family. The Priddy Sheep Fair moved from the city of Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death.

  • Two fishermen return to their home port of Tarbert on the western Scottish Mull of Kintyre. Looking towards the quay that will receive their boat called Prospector and where they are to unload their catch of shrimp, one man is the skipper and he steers the vessel from the wheelhouse while his partner at sea, wears chest-high waders and matching rubber gloves that can handle fish and sea creatures they drag up from the Atlantic waters. The boat has its identifying letters and number on its hull TT25 as well as on the life-ring it carries by law. The men probably support their families and so are the breadwinners - their livelihoods dependent of fisheries policy and EU quotas that dictate how much they're allowed to catch per day/per week. But they are safe after a period at sea and appear happy to have returned with a catch to sell.
