ALT A vertical format view of a narrow city street. In the foreground is a busy street market with vegetable vendors arranging their wares on the ground. A red and white striped umbrella provides shade and advertises 777 batteries. The narrow street recedes past a bright blue prefab structure, and a grand Victorian era building rises in the background.
ALT A high-contrast black and white studio portrait of a beautiful young woman inn a white halter top, lit from the right side of the frame, against a dark background. The woman looks directly at the viewer, and plays with her thick dark hair.

ALT A woman in a grey chequered burkha walks up a narrow cobbled alley, between high dark walls.
ALT A long narrow alley is flanked on one side by by a brightly painted life size Hindu statue. Around the statue are colourful religious decorations and objects. A man can be faintly seen at the far end of the alley.
ALT A wide low angle street scene. A lean, weather beaten man crouches in the foreground, wearing brightly coloured tshirt and elasticised trousers, a baseball cap on his head. With a bright pink plastic beaker he pours honey from a bucket into a glass bottle. Several more bottles of honey stand next to him. Two men sit on a bench in the background, next to a signboard with Chinese script on it.
ALT A close up overhead view of a plastic bucket filled with a mix of honey and beeswax. A bright pink plastic beaker floats in the thick mixture.
ALT A portrait of a lean-faced middleaged man in a bright blue tshirt, stands rigidly facing the viewer, in front of a corrugated metal shopfront shutter Next to him, on a small table stands three glass bottles of honey. Next to it is a book and a pair of spectacles.
ALT A wide angle portrait of a middleaged man, a young woman, and a little girl, smiling as they stand in a small busy kitchen with concrete breeze block walls. Food cooks over a wood fire at the young woman's feet. Sunlight pours through tattered plastic curtains on one side.
ALT A wide angle view of a deserted black-topped rural road in a small tropical town. Coffee beans have been spread in the centre of the road, drying in the bright sun. Jungle and palm trees rise over the roofs of the houses flanking the road.
ALT A tightly framed group portrait of four young smiling boys, in white turbans and thobes, posing playfully in an open window.
ALT A low light head and shoulders portrait of two men, standing in what seems to be a store or warehouse. One is younger and in the foreground, his eyes intense, his forehead smeared with tumeric and holy ash. Just behind him is a middleaged man with grey stubble, who smiles faintly.
ALT An urban street scene in which a large wooden-sided lorry sits in the centre of the frame, its open rear facing the viewer. A middleaged man lounges on the tailgate, reading a newspaper. Arrayed below him, on the street, are a couple of dozen large yellow cans. Several men stand around the lorry, and tall buildings are visible in the background.
ALT A broad view of a beach at sunset, with the sun just touching the horizon, creating a dramatic sky fading from gold to deep blue-grey. The sea reflects the gold of the sun. A small temple on a rocky outcrop is silhouetted against the sunset sky. A stupa-topped shrine with a Buddha statue in the lotus position is also silhouetted, the statue in profile, facing right. Mirroring the Buddha, a lone young woman sits in the shallows, also in a lotus position, facing left.
