  • An old fashioned pair of public address speakers have been attached to a no access sign overlooking the Northumberland countryside at the Kielder Air Show. Here, the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, are to perform and the squadron's commentator - known as Red 10 - will be describing the 25-minute routine performed in front of a few hundred people, probably the smallest of the Red Arrows audiences. The Hawk aircraft will be flying over the borderland between England and Scotland during this display which has attracted a local crowd to this pretty landscape. This primitive method of amplification makes for it charmingly quirky. Tangled electrical wires and an extension reel is low-tech and makeshift, vastly different to other shows where digital sound quality reproduces audio to many of thousands of spectators.

  • "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.

  • A Chinese exile is interviewed by a radio journalist opposite his embassy a day after the Tiananmen Sq massacre. Using old technology consisting of a tape recorder and analogue microphone, the reporter records the words of an activist, his words being broadcast, potentially across the world. The political crackdown that initiated on June 3–4 1989 became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre as troops with assault rifles and tanks inflicted casualties on unarmed civilians trying to block the military’s advance towards Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing, which student demonstrators had occupied for seven weeks.

  • A schoolboy of Afro-Caribbean descent stands looking confused on a platform at Victoria mainline station in central London. The young lad looks smart in a new school uniform of cap, blazer, long trousers and polished black shoes. We might guess that it is the start of a new academic year and that he is about to attend a new school for which he needs to take a train on his own. His mother and younger and older sister are also to the far right of the picture so he may go with his elder sibling carrying a multi-coloured umbrella and a bright blue briefcase containing his lunch and a few items needed for lessons. Surrounded by adult commuters, some of who look on with mild amusement, also make await their train from the city out of town. Mostly, people mind their own business and what is a special day for the boy will become a much-travelled route.

  • Duart Castle near Craignure, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Standing proudly on a clifftop guarding the Sound of Mull, Duart enjoys one of the most spectacular and unique positions on the West Coast of Scotland. For over 400 years this has been the base of the Scots Clan Maclean's sea-borne power. Duart was originally a rectangular wall enclosing a courtyard. In 1350 Lachlan Lubanach, the 5th Chief, married Mary Macdonald, the daughter of the Lord of the Isles and she was given Duart as her dowry. In 1691 the Macleans surrendered Duart and all their lands on Mull to the Duke of Argyll. The Castle, although in a fairly ruinous condition was used as a garrison for Government troops until 1751. It was then abandoned until 1910 when it was purchased by Sir Fitzroy Maclean, 26th Chief. (http://www.duartcastle.com/castle/castle_briefhistory.html).

  • Looking through a window of ther old chapel in Pennygowan Cemetery (Caol Fhaoileann), Salen Isle of Mull, Scotland. This ruined chapel, which served the N portion of the parish of Torosay, is probably of early 13th century date. No medieval references to it have been identified, and its dedication is unknown. The records of the Synod of Argyll in the middle of the 17th century show some uncertainty as to the status of the charge; it is referred to both as a 'Chappell' and as a 'paroach'. The building may already have been derelict at this period, although the earliest evidence of its condition dates from 1787 when it was shown as 'an old kirk' on a map of Torosay parish.

  • With his face reflected in the musical instrument's bell, a trombonist plays on stage with a jazz orchestra...The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player's vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the instrument to vibrate. The trombone is usually characterised by a telescopic slide with which the player varies the length of the tube to change pitches, although the valve trombone uses three valves like those on a trumpet. The word trombone derives from Italian tromba

  • Margaret Thatcher plays up to the media at a North London school in her own constituency of Finchley during the 1992 general election. Although Thatcher had already resigned as Prime Minister in November 1990, John Major won the ensuing leadership election later that year. Photographers and cameramen surround the former-Prime Minister who is wearing a purple suit and matching broach. She is mid-sentence and has found something amusing to respond to the chants of the media. We see cameras, sound booms and flashes all prepared to photograph this famous statesman including Tom Stoddart who is making eye-contact with the viewer.

Created by an outside overhead sun shining through a collection of large, inflatable PVC domes, the man walks slowly through tunnels, enticing customers to ecperience vivid colour while emitting eerie sound from voices, brass and string instruments. Designed by Simon Desorgher & Lawrence Casserley, Colourscape celebrated its 10th year of installation in Clapham in 2004. Colourscape's charitable Trust, Nettlefold Arts, was founded in 1988, with the purpose of presenting contemporary music, related arts and educational events, in innovative ways.

  • "Anywhere between 3-5am." A mother has brought her three and a half month-old infant into bed and comforts her new baby back to sleep in bed by holding her hand at dawn, after a broken night's rest. We see large adult's fingers encircling the tiny digits of the baby girl who is mercifully sound asleep again, instinctively aware of love and trust. It is a picture of protective parenthood, of a close bond between mother and child in a safe, cosy, warm and idyllic place within the loving family home. 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.

  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.

  • Usually played in pairs for morning and evenings calls to prayer, preludes, and processions, two western nuns following Tibetan-Buddhism play their Rag-Dung (brass trumpets) in a garden at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. One nun looks across to check finger positions of her fellow-player and they are sat cross-legged on the lush grass surrounded with flowers and tall plants. The Rag-Dung is the most spectacular of Tibetan ritual copper horns and some are up to twenty feet long. With a deeply resonant sound it is relatively easy to play. Those following this branch of Buddhism arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated Retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation.

  • Among medieval statues, a guitarist and street busker perform for passing tourists in Florence's Piazza degli Uffizi. Dressed in white to echo the medieval figures of city officials that stand in porticos of the main Uffizi building, a man will hug any visitor who wishes to have their photo taken alongside, for the price of a few Euros. Meanwhile, to his right, the musician plays classical songs on his acoustic instrument where its sound travels around this street corner, his notes rebounding from the solid stone walls and pillars.

  • Young men in drag perform to an audience as part of their Club 18-30 holiday experience to Ibiza, Spain. A tour rep encourages the men to push their inibitions to the limit but with a reputation for 'Sun, Sand and Sex' the 18-30 holiday formula has been labelled as parents' worth nightmare. From from the company's web site however the fantasy sounds less riotous: "There comes a time in life when you need to do it for yourself. A time to break free and break the mould. To explore, leave the map at home and find yourself. To find that one moment and make it last a lifetime. That time is now. Sunrise to sunset. Sunset to sunrise. This is the time of your life. Love every single second of it."
