  • Apple iPhone ad, striding pedestrian and bent fashion retailer hanger dropped on a central London side street. The person walks fast along the pavement with legs matching the shape of not only the iPhones but also the hanger that was dropped by someone else on the sidewalk.

  • Sprayed with aerosol and stencil on the pavement (sidewalk) in a Manhattan street near New York City’s Armory are the words "WTC RIP 9.11.2001"  As if in recognition of the attacks on the World Trade Center that occured four days previously, pedestrians pass-by leaving dark, haunted shadows on the pavement as if suffering the horrors of what many witnessed on September 11th. A young girl is about to walk over the stencil and we see her US stars and stripes bandana wrapped around her head looking like the tv super-hero Wonder Woman.

  • An unrecognisable bather wearing a stripy costume bends over awkwardly to adjust his towel on the promenade pavement (sidewalk) at Minehead, Devon. The man's reddened posterior is pointed towards the viewer and his dachshund (sausage) pet dog stands still looking away to the right, towards unseen interest. A family of four stroll along the sandy beach during low tide. It is a hot afternoon but we only see a quiet scene at this busy resort.

  • Crowds of visitors and locals gather on the terrace of an Ocean Drive cafe in Miami Beach. It is early evening and we see the blurred people moving about over the picture during a time-exposure of a few seconds. The colours of ambient neon lights that these streets are well-known for have become very vivid with bright pinks and reds a main feature of this scene. A menu board listing cocktail drinks prices stands on the sidewalk. Candles have been lit in glass jars on table tops. Ghostly, blurred Palm trees sway about in the coastal breeze against the fading sky of early evening. This is a vibrant district of tropical Miami, Florida. The place to hang-out and be noticed. Glowing pinks and blues are vivid in this scene where beautiful people and expensive cars cruise along slowly, each parading bodywork and personality.

  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

  • Beneath the giant, solid pillars of the Bank of England in the heart of London’s financial district – the ancient Square Mile – a man dressed in a traditional pinstripe suit has stopped to make a phone call or check for messages. Halting his journey along this street he has opted to stand in line with a traffic no waiting cone and also near double-yellow lines that restrict parking or stopping. Without the cone or lines this scene would otherwise be without colour - the columns of this financial institution and the pavement (sidewalk) are drab – so the welcome yellow gives this picture more interest. We only see the man from the rear view and so he remains anonymous, a small person set against the scale of a large-scale financial landscape.

  • Viewed from the top of the Arc de triumph in the centre of Paris, the French capital, we see tiny human figures going about their daily business, a hurried frenzy of activity at street level far below. This street is the Avenue des Champs Elysees, one of the most famous of European boulevards and the multi-lane road that stretches away into the distance – from l’Etoile to Place de la Concorde – is dissected with zebra crossings over which more pedestrians negotiate the Parisian traffic that has stopped on a red light. Otherwise small figures walk along the pavement (sidewalk) and some disappear into an underground Metro entrance.

  • A landscape in a London street of street rubbish (garbage) left below a Stella Artois alcohol billboard. A chic man and woman from the sixties (1960s) stand with all the confidence of the style of a previous era with a landscape of the Mediterranean with its azure blue waters. But the reality of 2011 south London is a far removed from the utopia on the ad. Fly tipping has added to the already untidy pavement (sidewalk) also blocking pedestrian access. Wheelie bins and plastic bags of rubbish attract vermin and poor hygiene and the council workmen will soon appear to once again clear away the mess - before another pile appears.

  • Londoners walk past the mess of litter and rubbish torn apart by overnight animals on a south London street in the borough of Lambeth. The garbage has been thrown under a sapling on this dirty pavement, outside a betting shop run by Betfred. Clothing, household items and foodstuffs are strewn across the sidewalk as pedestrians pass-by.

  • Sitting drunk on a mid-town sidewalk (pavement), a construction worker wipes tears from his eyes. The man has driven from his mid-west home to offer help at the hazardous Ground Zero where for the past 4 days and nights he has been uncovering debris and human remains after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Exhausted and emotional, he was sent away for his own and the safety of others and alcohol was his first purchase. New Yorkers praised their heroes for assisting their city (and America) in their hour of need but here, passers-by stepped over him complaining of his drunken state. The now lonely man is distressed, tormented and psychologically fragile but gets no help. With his few possessions, his hard hat and flag, mask and cans of Budweiser we see a man at his lowest ebb.

  • As others try to squeeze through a space on the narrow pavement, a hotel employee cleans the matt in front of the Hotel do Norte, on 20th July, in Porto, Portugal. Scrubbing the step and the matt which contain the name of this establishment, the cleaner takes up most of the space on the sidewalk.

  • A moment of street theatre is seen as a man seemingly gropes a young woman on the pavement (sidewalk) as three other Parisians gain an advantage by climbing higher than ground level to watch the patriotic Bastille Day Procession from a doorway on the Avenue Champs-Élysées, Paris. The young men have lodged themselves awkwardly a metre above the ground, resting their feet on various door catches and ledges, as if floating in mid-air. On a street traffic sign the French words 'Defense de Stationner' are written which in English translates as 'No Stopping', referring to vehicles not pedestrians. There is graffiti tagging sprayed on the walls and a brown stain at the bottom of a drainpipe.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • Woman trips and falls over on Lambeth pavement as passers-by walk on. Lying on the pavement, just having landed on the ground, we look down from an aerial perspective to see three men largely ignoring her plight: Londoners being known as aloof and unhelpful to others.  Afterwards, the woman picks herself up and carries on her route unhurt along this stretch of sidewalk in Camberwell, south London.

  • As if about to be crunched underfoot, shattered glass from the windows of offices in the historic City of London side-street, stickers and notices for Access (Mastercard) and American Express (Amex) credit cards lie on the disaster-strewn pavement (sidewalk). This is some of the debris lying about after the huge Bishopsgate bomb on 24th April 1993, London's most expensive terrorist atrocity during the Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) sustained bombings on the British mainland. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 sq m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million and was possibly the IRA's most successful military tactic since the start of what was called the Troubles from 1969 onwards.

The road now runs 13 mi (21 km) through Manhattan and 2 mi (3.2 km) through the Bronx, exiting north from the city to run an additional 18 mi (29 km) through other municipalities.

  • William Blake's poem London is written in the pavement at Bunhill Fields, the place in the City of London where the poet is buried. London is a poem by William Blake, published in Songs of Experience in 1794. William Blake was a poet and artist who specialised in illuminated texts, often of a religious nature. He rejected established religion for various reasons, including the failure of the established Church to help children in London who were forced to work. Blake lived and worked in the capital, so he was arguably well placed to write clearly about the conditions people who lived there faced.

  • A street artist works on his pavement piece in front of Goya portraits, sponsored by Credit Suisse and advertised on a construction hoarding outside the National Portrait Gallery. Creating his version of a Salvador Dali face on the ground, the artist chalks and smooths the features of the famous Spanish surrealist.  <br />
Salvador Dalí was a prominent Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. He was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes 1746 – 1828 was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. In a scene of contemporary street art and that of high culture, we see a man trying to make a living outside versus a man who once did the same in another era.

The empty landscape in the City of London suggests a vacant metropolis devoid of the working population who are at home, leaving the streets emptied of commuters and pedestrians. The road junction is old, even ancient as the City of London was founded in AD43 and centuries of development (despite the Great Fire in 1666) has kept to the ancient boundaries. The Square Mile, as the City is also known, has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.

  • A deserted landscape of a street and overgrown paths and empty housing in the former Russian Soviet army camp in occupied East Germany ex-GDR/DDR, on 16th June 19990, on Halb Insel Wustrow, near Rostock, Germany. Wustrow was once a WW2 German anti-aircraft artillery position then housing civilian refugees before the eventual Soviet occupation of the former DDR during the Cold War, up until 1990 and the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. The camp was ransacked and all its assets stripped before its desertion that summer and is a reminder of a fallen ideology.

  • Guarding his walking stick, an elderly gentleman takes forty winks and sleeps on a city street bench in central London. With glasses in an up position on his head, the man holds his stick that keeps him stable when walking. Obviously needing a rest during a warm afternoon in the metropolis, the man takes a few moments to recoup some much-needed energy.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, we see anti-war graffiti written in a circular chalk graphic on the path in front of the Lincoln Memorial of Washington DC's National Mall. The words 'Break the Cycle (of) War' appear as early morning joggers blur in the background beyond whom, the Washington Memorial is seen below the rising sun and a rising mist. Soon afterwards the graffiti was hosed away by park rangers, eager to remove anti-militarist and unpatriotic sentiments at a time before the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as America sought to express their emotions and unity.

  • Shoppers carry their purchases in yellow Selfridges bags in London's West End. The bags are one of the capital's most striking symbols of British retail and are seen across the city as splashes of vibrant colour on the otherwise drab pavements and streets. The economic recovers appears to have begun in earnest and retail therapy has attracted these Londoners to the West End, away from the larger, warmer shopping Malls on the outskirts of town. Selfridges was founded by Harry Gordon Selfridge. The flagship store in London's Oxford Street is the second largest shop in the UK (after Harrods) and was opened on 15 March 1909.

  • US Fox TV markings on pavement as tension mounts outside St Mary's Hospital, Paddington London, where media and royalists await news of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge's impending labour and birth.
