  • 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.

There are around 5,000 working guide dogs in the UK today, though the Guide Dogs charity care for around 8,000 dogs, including breeding stock, puppies, dogs in training and retired dogs. A sign in bright yellow says 'Please don't distract me I'm working.'

  • A detail of the ornate sign hanging outside the Sailor's Reading Room on East Cliff, Southwold, Suffolk. Topless mermaids and a shell form part of the sign on a red brick wall of this Grade II listed Sailors' Reading Room, which still provides daily papers and a place to read them. Built in 1864 in memory of Captain Charles Rayley RN, a naval officer at the time of Trafalgar, the Reading Room was a refuge for fishermen and sailors. It provided a place to meet and receive religious instruction, away from the pubs, and somewhere to read things that were good for the soul. Displays of a seafaring nature line the walls and fill glass cabinets. Pictures and portraits of local fishermen and seascapes, model ships and maritime paraphernalia offer a fascinating history of Southwold's connections with the sea.

  • 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.
