  • A woman cooks a rat caught in the rice fields around Vinh An, a village specialising in catching rats, Hung Yen province, Vietnam. With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas.  These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.

  • A portrait of two rat catchers in a rice field in Vinh An village which specialises in rat catching, Hung Yen province, Vietnam. The process of catching rats involves a dog to sniff the rat holes to see if any are there and a bamboo trap placed down the hole to catch them when they try to escape and a lot of digging. Up to 20 rats can be caught from a single hole. The rat catchers then remove the rats canine teeth to stop them biting and place them alive in a basket. They are killed and cooked at home and are a special dish in this area, particularly for weddings.

Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • English author, Steve Boggan with the $10 note that he shadowed across America, described in his book 'Follow the Money'. Boggan is a journalist for UK newspapers and magazines and so by setting free a ten-dollar bill and accompanying it on an epic journey for thirty days and thirty nights across 3,300 miles armed only with a sense of humour and a small, and increasingly grubby, set of clothes. He wrote his book in order to trace the life of the bill - but also to discover something of the lives of modern Americans in an age when plastic cards have largely overtaken the use of paper money in everyday use, especially in small town America.

  • A flight nurse examines a lady from the Native American Reserve at San Carlos, Arizona, from where she is to be taken from the rural Arizona airstrip by  twin-propeller powered aircraft, an air ambulance, to hospital for treatment. The San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, in southeastern Arizona, United States, was established in 1872 as a reservation for the Chiricahua Apache tribe. It was referred to by some as "Hell's Forty Acres," due to a myriad of dismal health and environmental conditions. The San Carlos Reservation is one of the poorest Native American communities in the United States, with an annual median household income of approximately $14,000 in 2000, according to the US Census. About 60% of the people live under the poverty line, and 68% of the active labor force is unemployed

  • Hawk jets of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team practice display using an old ship wreck as display datum (centre). Looking out to the Mediterranean Sea from the Akrotiri Peninsular, Cyprus, we see the elite team, practising their display, a show-stopping manoeuvre of their 25-minute air show display routine. A rusted and crumbling hulk of a ship lies in the shallow surf and the Hawk jets used by the Red Arrows fan out above it using red, white and blue smoke. The shipwreck's remains provide a sad foreground to the dynamic flying beyond making a graphic landscape. 'Datum' is an axis on which the Red Arrows focus their displays, from where the whole show is visible at the crowd's centre. 'The Wreck' is but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader at short notice to simulate diverse geographical features and wind directions

  • Queues and crowds at the entrance of the official London 2012 merchandise shop - hours before another successful gold medal win, this time by Team GB triathlete Alistair Brownlee in the men's Triathlon during the London 2012 Olympic Games. The mid-week event surprisingly drew huge crowds into the capital's largest public (royal) park for an event, not usually attracting families with children who all enjoyed the fine weather and easy temperatures. A London 2012 merchandise shop was set up on the southern side and parents and kids used the exterior hoarding featuring iconic London landmarks such as Nelson's Column, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, to relax against after an early start from homes around the country

  • Three large family members eat a picnic in a south London park. Sitting to watch an event in the main arena of the Lambeth Couty Show, the large people continue to eat while seated on a blanket on the park grass. Obesity rates in the UK are the highest in Europe and have increased dramatically over the past few years to such an extent that in excess of 20% of the population are now obese and the costs to the UK economy exceed £3 billion per year. The high prevalence of obesity in adults within England is alarming, with national averages of over 40% of males overweight and more than 20% obese in the 16-75 year age range, while in women the averages are lower for the overweight classification but higher for obesity.

  • A female mute swan (pen) incubates her eggs on a nest surrounded by plastic bags waste, in an urban water basin. Asleep on the nest, she shares the space with wrappers and bottles, bags and cans tossed from a nearby walkway and perhaps drifted on the water from this urban basin in London's Docklands. The mute swan, which is the white swan most commonly seen in the British Isles, will normally mate at anytime from spring through to summer, with the cygnets being born anytime from May through to July. A swan's nest takes 2-3 weeks and the egg laying process begins with an egg being laid every 12-24 hours. They will all be incubated (ie sat on to start the growth process) at the same time with hatching usually 42 days (6 weeks) later.

  • In front of an ad for Mercury, the 90s mobile phone network provider, a city worker uses his mobile phone in a London street.  Actor Harry Enfield was the face of the media campaign on tv and in print to help promote the young industry, still then an expensive accessory for the ordinary Briton. Mercury Communications, was a national telephone company in the United Kingdom, formed in 1981 as a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless to challenge the monopoly of British Telecom (BT). Mercury was the first competitor to BT, and although it proved only moderately successful at challenging their dominance, it was to set the path for new communication companies to attempt the same. In 1997, Mercury ceased to exist as a brand with its amalgamation into the operations of Cable & Wireless Communications and totally exited from the telecommunications business by 1999.

  • The words Good as Gold are written on the top of a Victorian building in Southwark, south London. With blue sky and clouds above, we see an urban street message sprayed on the former warehouse near Waterloo. “Good as gold” or “as good as gold” are common English expressions meaning something is genuine or reliable. Referring to people, particularly children, they usually mean well behaved. “Good as gold” is one of numerous figures of speech involving gold as a desirable standard of some kind. The expression is a simile, an analogy used to describe something by comparing it to something else. The word “gold” itself is one of the oldest words in the English language.

Prospering, tall and healthy in summer sunshine in this front garden in Southend-in-Sea in Essex, England, their reds are brilliantly reproduced and recorded by Kodachrome film by an amateur photographer in 1963. Net curtains (drapes) can be seen in the windows and the green grass is clipped and mown to reflect the obsessive nature of the resident and plant grower. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • City workers relax during lunchtime outside St Botolph's Church Hall. Originally an infants' school, St Botolph's Church Hall stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. The entrance to the hall is flanked by two Coade stone statues of a schoolboy and schoolgirl wearing 19th century costume. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as ‘Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate’ in 1212. St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.
