  • Details of a Vampyre Connexionís member during a tour to West Norwood Cemetery on Sunday, 4 March, 2007, in London, England. The Vampyre Connexion is the largest and most active of all the vampire groups in the United Kingdom, counting more than 100 members that for years have gathered regularly in London to share their common love for vampires and the Dark side of life. The Connexion raised from the hashes of the Vampyre Society, the first vampire appreciation group in 1995. The group believe in the fantasy of vampires and such creatures and live it to the full. Its  roots are to be found in the legends of Bram Stokerís Dracula. The group prints its own magazine, ëDark Nightsí featuring drawings, poetry, stories, photography and events. All of the members dress very peculiar clothing, and this is a very important part of the life of the group; it is respected with pride, taste and accuracy for the detail. Most like to dress to be elegant in a range of styles from regency to Victorian, some sew their own. In addition members visit art galleries, cemeteries, churches and cathedrals, attend gigs and concerts, and hold their own parties throughout the year, Halloween being the biggest and scariest one. Membership is open to all, the only qualification: being a love of all things Vampyric. **ItalyOut**

  • Budhia Singh, (left) 6, the famous Limca World Record marathoner, is training on the roads near his home in Salia Sahi slum (pop. 30.000) of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa State, on Sunday, May 18. On May 1, 2006, Budhia completed a record breaking 65 km run from Jagannath temple, Puri to Bhubaneswar. He was accompanied by his coach Biranchi Das and by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). On 8th May 2006, a Government statement had ordered that he stopped running. The announcement came after doctors found the boy had high blood pressure and cardiological stress. As of 13th August 2007 Budhia's coach Biranchi Das was arrested by Indian police on suspicion of torture. Singh has accused his coach of beating him and withholding food. Das says Singh's family are making up charges as a result of a few petty rows. On April 13, Biranchi Das was shot dead in Bhubaneswar, in what is believed to be an event unconnected with Budhia, although the police is investigating the case and has made an arrest, a local goon named Raja Archary, which is now in police custody. **Italy and China Out**

  • Visitors at the just entered Winningon Road mansion are looking inside a cupboard found in a room entirely painted in white on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2007 in Hampstead, London, England. The residence, 89 Winnington Road, was former Indonesian President Haji Mohamed Suharto's top London mansion and was sold in 1999 for UK£ 9.5M when he was being investigated in his home country in regards to his fortune and extravagant lifestyle. Million Dollar Squatters is a documentary project in the lives of a peculiar group of squatters residing in three multi-million mansions in one of the classiest residential neighbourhoods of London, Hampstead Garden. The squatters' enthusiasm, their constant efforts to look after what has become their home, their ingenuity and adventurous spirit have all inspired me throughout the days and nights spent at their side. Between the fantasy world of exclusive Britain and the reality of squatting in London, I have been a witness to their unique story. While more than 100.000 properties in London still lay empty to this day, squatting provides a valid, and lawful alternative to paying Europe's most expensive rent prices, as well as offering the challenge of an adventurous lifestyle in the capital.

  • Climate change activists are protesting in front of the British police during a 24 hours mass action being held near the British Airport Association (BAA) headquarters, close to Heathrow airport, to demonstrate against climate change and the expansion plans for the airport on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, Heathrow, England. More than 1800 police officers were deployed to counter the activists in their plan to disrupt the BAA activities on the site. Aviation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and all our efforts to tackle climate change in other sectors are undone by the massive growth in air travel. Holding the camp at Heathrow aims to highlight the paradoxical government's airport expansion plans, target industry giants profiteering from the climate crisis, and raise awareness about the need to fly less. The camp also support local residents in their long-term struggle against the building of a third runway and the destruction of their communities.

  • Budhia Singh, (left) 6, the famous Limca World Record marathoner, is training on the roads near his home in Salia Sahi slum (pop. 30.000) of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa State, on Sunday, May 18. On May 1, 2006, Budhia completed a record breaking 65 km run from Jagannath temple, Puri to Bhubaneswar. He was accompanied by his coach Biranchi Das and by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). On 8th May 2006, a Government statement had ordered that he stopped running. The announcement came after doctors found the boy had high blood pressure and cardiological stress. As of 13th August 2007 Budhia's coach Biranchi Das was arrested by Indian police on suspicion of torture. Singh has accused his coach of beating him and withholding food. Das says Singh's family are making up charges as a result of a few petty rows. On April 13, Biranchi Das was shot dead in Bhubaneswar, in what is believed to be an event unconnected with Budhia, although the police is investigating the case and has made an arrest, a local goon named Raja Archary, which is now in police custody. **Italy and China Out**

  • Climate change activists are protesting in front of the British police during a 24 hours mass action being held near the British Airport Association (BAA) headquarters, close to Heathrow airport, to demonstrate against climate change and the expansion plans for the airport on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, Heathrow, England. More than 1800 police officers were deployed to counter the activists in their plan to disrupt the BAA activities on the site. Aviation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and all our efforts to tackle climate change in other sectors are undone by the massive growth in air travel. Holding the camp at Heathrow aims to highlight the paradoxical government's airport expansion plans, target industry giants profiteering from the climate crisis, and raise awareness about the need to fly less. The camp also support local residents in their long-term struggle against the building of a third runway and the destruction of their communities. Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport, has been the target of Climat Camp campaing in 2007. www.climatecamp.org.uk   **Italy Out**

While more than 100.000 properties in London still lay empty to this day, squatting provides a valid, and lawful alternative to paying Europe's most expensive rent prices, as well as offering the challenge of an adventurous lifestyle in the capital.

  • Zil, 23, from Poland, is running up the stairs leading to his room in the Wildwood Road mansion on Sunday, July 1, 2007, in Hampstead, London, England. Old posters from GlenTree, a property agent, are affixed on the wall picturing the mansion in its best conditions and ready to be sold. Situated opposite Hampstead Heath, North London's green jewel the average price for properties on this road reaches £ 2,500,000. Million Dollar Squatters is a documentary project in the lives of a peculiar group of squatters residing in three multi-million mansions in one of the classiest residential neighbourhoods of London, Hampstead Garden.

  • Climate change activists are protesting in front of the British police during a 24 hours mass action being held near the British Airport Association (BAA) headquarters, close to Heathrow airport, to demonstrate against climate change and the expansion plans for the airport on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, Heathrow, England. More than 1800 police officers were deployed to counter the activists in their plan to disrupt the BAA activities on the site. Aviation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and all our efforts to tackle climate change in other sectors are undone by the massive growth in air travel. Holding the camp at Heathrow aims to highlight the paradoxical government's airport expansion plans, target industry giants profiteering from the climate crisis, and raise awareness about the need to fly less. The camp also support local residents in their long-term struggle against the building of a third runway and the destruction of their communities. Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport, has been the target of Climat Camp campaing in 2007. www.climatecamp.org.uk   **Italy Out**

  • Eleri, 6-month-old baby is wearing a peculiar printed t-shirt saying: ëDonít make me bite youí, while with her mother in a traditional London pub just after a cemetery tour organised by the Vampyre Connexion on Sunday, 2 December, 2006, in Nunhead Cemetery, South London, England. The Vampyre Connexion is the largest and most active of all the vampire groups in the United Kingdom, counting more than 100 members that for years have gathered regularly in London to share their common love for vampires and the Dark side of life. The Connexion raised from the hashes of the Vampyre Society, the first vampire appreciation group in 1995. The group believe in the fantasy of vampires and such creatures and live it to the full. Its  roots are to be found in the legends of Bram Stokerís Dracula. The group prints its own magazine, ëDark Nightsí featuring drawings, poetry, stories, photography and events. All of the members dress very peculiar clothing, and this is a very important part of the life of the group; it is respected with pride, taste and accuracy for the detail. Most like to dress to be elegant in a range of styles from regency to Victorian, some sew their own. In addition members visit art galleries, cemeteries, churches and cathedrals, attend gigs and concerts, and hold their own parties throughout the year, Halloween being the biggest and scariest one. Membership is open to all, the only qualification: being a love of all things Vampyric.  **ItalyOut**
