Pint is pulled at a pub in central London
A pint is pulled at a pub in central London, November 23, 2005. About one third of all the pubs, clubs and shops in England and Wales licensed to sell alcohol will stay open for longer from midnight on Wednesday as Britain seeks a new way to tackle its binge drinking problem. Under new licensing laws, the countrys pubs and bars will be allowed to stay open for longer and the fixed 11 p.m. closing time observed by most pubs since World War One will be swept away.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dylan Martinez, we are transported to a bustling pub in central London on November 23,2005. The image depicts the moment when a pint is being expertly pulled at the bar, showcasing the rich cultural tradition of British pub culture. This snapshot holds even greater significance as it captures a pivotal moment in history. At that time, England and Wales were grappling with the issue of binge drinking. In an effort to find a solution, new licensing laws were introduced which allowed pubs and bars to extend their opening hours beyond the traditional 11 p. m. closing time that had been observed since World War One. The photograph serves as a visual representation of change and adaptation within society. It symbolizes Britain's willingness to seek innovative approaches in tackling social problems while still cherishing its deep-rooted traditions. Martinez's composition skillfully captures both movement and stillness simultaneously - from the swift motion of pulling the pint to the patrons frozen mid-conversation or laughter around them. The vibrant atmosphere is palpable through his lens, immersing us into this quintessential British experience. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we can't help but appreciate how photography has an incredible ability to freeze moments in time – allowing us glimpses into different eras and reminding us of our shared human experiences across generations.
