  • 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.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • Wearing darkened glasses, unsighted Tim Gutteridge stands outside The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association's offices in Reading, England with Lewis, a one year-old Labrador Retriever who has been groomed to become a guide dog. Tim is hoping to forge a strong relationship with his new-found companion whose job is to confidently leads the way anticipating and avoiding obstacles and dangers.

  • A detail of Irish ploughman Tom Nixon leading Shire horses Nobby and Heath as they harrow an on-going heritage wheat-growing area in Ruskin Park, a public green space in the borough of Southwark, on 9th February 2018, in London, England. The Friends of Ruskin Park are again growing heritage wheat and crops together with the Friends of Brixton Windmill and Brockwell Bake Association. Shire horses are descended from the medieval warhorse but are a breed under threat. Operation Centaur, which maintains the last working herd of Shires in London is dedicated to the protection and survival of the breed. It is an organization set up to promote the relevance of the horse as a contemporary working animal in partnership with humans. This takes the form of heritage skills in conservation and agriculture, transportation, discovery, learning and therapy.

  • A Sun newspaper reader sits in the sunshine, below a statue in Threadneedle Street with the Bank of England to the left. We look upwards to the young man who wears a red shirt, all-typifying the Working Man in an English society still obsessed with class and status. This in front of the famous Bank of England in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. With such a wide-angle perspective the bank and its architecture looks powerful and influential in the UK's economy. There is a mixture of architectural eras here, with Sir John Soane's building legacy still a strong economic statement. The Sun is one of Britain's tabloid papers, selling over 3 million copies to mainly working class Britons, with a bias towards the young British male.

  • Mu Ze Latso working in  the family's courtyard with mother and father and a neighbour's child, close to  Lugu lake, northwest Yunnan province.<br />
<br />
Mo Suo people live along LuGu lake, northwest  Yunnan province. Since the population is not big enough, the Chinese government did not assign them as an independent minority. Mo Suo people belongs to the NaXi minority of LiJiang region. Mo Suo people have their own distinctive culture, religion and customs. Most significantly: Mo Suo people do not have a marriage System. Locally, they call their relationships a "walking marriage". <br />

Logically, she is allowed to take her boyfriend, since Mo Su family carries on by the mother's name, the son and the daughter stay with mother their whole lifes.<br />
When they are adults, the girl chooses her boyfriend. The boyfriend come to sleep in her room in the evening and leave for his mother's home in the morning. He belongs to his mother's family. She belongs to her mother's family, her children will be taken care of by her family: her mother, uncle, aunts, or sisters and brothers. Her children do not belongs to the boyfriend's family.<br />
Normally, the mother will pass her "power" to her eldest daughter when she is old and thus perpetuate the Mo Suo traditions.

  • From a high vantage point looking across the atrium of British architect Sir Richard Rogers' Lloyds building, we see the zig-zag-shape stripes of escalators, beyond which we see the desks of insurance underwriters at the Lloyd's building, home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London which is located in Lime Street, in the heart of the City of London. Lloyd's is a British insurance market. It serves as a meeting place where multiple financial backers or "members", whether individuals (traditionally known as "Names") or corporations, come together to pool and spread risk.

  • Shotguns broken over their arms, hunters John Davidson and Byron Grubb assess the land while upland game bird hunting near Minot, North Dakota, United States. Both hunters work the land to find pheasant and grouse with their faithful Black Labradors Annie and Danny respectively. These trained working dogs watch the bird as it comes down and run to collect and bring them back. This breed of dogs has a soft mouth which means they can pick up the birds and return them without damaging them. These men have been shooting for most of their lives and put considerable efforts into their hunting, efforts which reward them with wild game meats, none of which is wasted.
