  • Two crewmen aboard the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman sit on a fire vehicle on the ship's deck. Wearing red signifies that they are part of a crash and salvage team who respond to emergencies and fire hazards and so wear flame-retardant and anti-flash clothing material. Ordinarily they are responsible for making safe and towing ("doing the bow dance") $38 million F/A-18s fighters round the deck of the Navy?s newest aircraft carrier, here on coalition patrol somewhere off Kuwait in the Arabian Sea. The Truman is so called after the US President who was in office from 1945 to 1953.  Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • Beneath a huge banner that hangs from the exterior wall of the Ikea store in Croydon, South London adults await their partners to emerge from their shopping expeditions by the childrens' playground where a climbing frame and wood-chip surface protects young bodies from injury. The poster's message is simple and clear: That their customers and especially children, are our most important assets - our responsibility to protect their safety and well-being. Strong corporate Ikea colours are dominant, their well-known yellow and blue are known throughout Europe as well as the added banner in red. The fonts are in block capitals and possibly easy for young readers too to understand.

  • A class of schoolboys accompanied by their teachers play on the shingle at the water's edge in the south coast seaside town of Brighton. The East Pier is resplendent with amusement rides and attractions that populate its long structure, jutting out into the calm English Channel beyond which is the French coast further south. The children are still in their school shirts, shorts and ties but have taken off their shoes and socks to frolic and enjoy some precious fresh-air and the freedom that childhood brings. According to British legal requirements, schoolchildren on away day visits must have accompanying adults with a ratio of 1:xx though it appears this group's quota is less with two teachers per 28 boys.

  • A life belt hangs on a cross-shaped post, all painted a vivid red as the sun sinks down below the horizon and beyond the historic Bamburgh Castle, in Northumberland, northern England. Lit with a strong off-camera flash we see the slightly blurred device, invented for saving lives at sea, with a ghostly corona around its form, against a fading blue sky. The rope dangles near the ground, around which the grasses of the dunes blow in a faint breeze. Only the foreground is lit by the flash and the distant castle building and shoreline. We see such equipment and imagine safety and rescue and also jeopardy and hazards at sea. Supplied for those taking risks and making stupid decisions makes these items essential on coastal areas.

He also wears a watch with aq green strap matching his working army fatigues uniform. Behind him are two part-time territorial army conscripts who are sitting on their  army-issued rucksack Bergens awaiting further orders to serve on active duty from Sandhurst military academy to the Balkans during Operation Resolute, the  National Support Element to support NATO action. The dominating figure in the foreground stands upright though we don't see his face. His two conscripts sit on the ground looking dejected or perhaps worried about their forthcoming duties. They are still in civillian clothing, jeans and t-shirts but will soon change into uniform.

  • Climbing club and gritstone geology on Long Causeway cliffs, Peak District National Park, Derbyshire...Located in the Peak District National Park in England Stanage Edge is the largest of the gritstone edges that overlook Hathersage in Derbyshire. Stanage Edge at approximately 4 miles in length and 458m at its highest point is the largest of the gritstone cliffs that overlook Hathersage, Derbyshire. The area is one of the most popular locations in the Peak District National Park for climbing and walking with hundreds of rock climbing routes to challenge all ranges of ability. Walkers are drawn to the area to enjoy the varied moorland scenery with stunning views across the surrounding countryside including Hathersage, Castleton and the 'Shivering Mountain', Mam Tor in the west. A walk along the edge is an easy route but the exposed cliff can make conditions difficult throughout the year as it is often battered by wind, rain and regular snowfall in the winter months. There are a number of popular walks including routes along the remains of a Roman Road and towards Redmires Reservoir to the east as well as longer walks such as those including the nearby Longshaw Estate.

In the privacy of the closed gallery, a lady official from the RA is bending down, resting her hands on knees and scrutinizing for possible damage after their removal from travel packing crates, whilst on the floor before hanging for public view. We see the largest picture on the right (Luca Carlevaris, The Bucintore Departing from S. Marco. 1710) of the Grand Canal in Venice and on the left is 'Domenico Tiepolo, The Institution of the Eucharist, 1753'. Polished wooden parquet flooring is protected by blocks that support the weight of each work of priceless art.

Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary, a sometimes gruelling walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak - and beyond. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.

Featuring electronic instruments it is known as a 'glass cockpit' and using a printed checklist manual, they methodically work through dozens of complex systems that require accurate input before the aircraft is ready for take off. Flight navigation computers, fuel and engine settings and radio frequencies all need programming by the two pilots, the captain on the left and the First Officer on the right. These modern airliners have only two pilots in a modern flight-deck as technology superceeded the need for a third member, the flight-engineers of a previous era of aviation.

Holding a small glass containing a shot of alcohol, he sings at the top of his voice during a Karaoke night. He wears a shirt and tie so probably works in an office. Without a care in the world he has closed his eyes to enjoy the moment of elation and alcohol. It's dark in the bar with few lights in the background but spotlights have little effect to brighten up the scene.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a Cowboy.com ad (a software company) is seen on top of a pole at the roadside on Highway 27 in Mt Airy, near Baltimore, Maryland. At a time when a show of unity and patriotic support was important to Americans, many sought to express their anger and patriotic duty to send clear messages to those held responsible. "Don't Mess with the USA" was a favourite message but this internet company's cowboy advert complete with stetson and mirrored glasses was also a popular motif favouring aggressive replies.

Icons of American technology and patriotic success lie on the ground here beneath the tree near Arlington military Cemetery. In a show of unity, many of those gathered on the grass to view the damage done by terrorists worked for the government or defence organisations, their Hawkish rhetoric appearing to suggest heavy-handed retaliation on those held responsible.
