Just beginning to ask the question... when will it all end? *sigh*

Stay safe everyone!

Remember that facemasks are for faces and not for chins ;)

- for challenge Flickr group 'Macro Mondays', theme: 'Layer'

- some mouth masks, alas not from the type that gives any protection against the Corona -Covid 19- virus.

- I'm glad we have a hobby, macro photography, that can be practised most times inside the house.

Stay Safe and Healthy all of you !

I received this cute face mask from my sister who bought it at Rembrandthuis in Amsterdam. It has a picture on it from a drawing by Rembrandt. For Macro Mondays. This week's theme: Safety first. HMM

You have to feel sorry for this lady, two hours earlier it was glorious sunshine.

This was just after lockdown one, notice no social distancing and no face coverings; no wonder lockdown two and three came along. What does it take to get through to people?

Market Street, Manchester, UK.

They tested me for covid when I first came in. Negative.

Or it would normally have been just after 5pm on a weekday. Park Street, Croydon.

..may this collection soon be ready for the Museum of Temporary Discomfort..

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A good example of how not to wear a facemask during a pandemic. Italy has recently joined a growing list of places requiring the use of masks outdoors which, given the season, is a very sensible move especially in heavily populated areas. Just remember that you have to treat the outside of the mask as a contaminated surface. Disinfect as per manufacturer instruction and wash your hands after touching it. Wearing one like this is just making it easier for the virus. Stay safe everyone!

It's great to see a facemask being worn properly and we need to keep it up. Another vaccine approved in the UK today is another candle burning at the end of the tunnel. The light is there and though it may be months away, the brighter side can be reached. Keep safe my Flickr friends, stay strong and we will enjoy an entire world of photography in freedom again.

My Wooden folk are a faceless bunch. So I presented them all with a few paper facemasks to wear at the 'doo!' staged in my little back garden..

street portrait part face by feej13. anyone who knows me knows lm a bit obsessed with parts off peoples faces and photographing them and eyes , one off the reasons is the first time l went out to do st photography l went with a st photography group and instantly wonder up to people to ask for portraits didnt know how to use my camera, or even change it from screen to viewfinder just bumbled about looked at screen and hoped for best have at least improved alittle since then after many hours off trail and error though have been still known to forget how to turn it on or panic ah its all dark broken oh no its not lens cap on , when l first went out saw a beautiful young man and felt his face just felt right to photograph just part off it its still one off my favorite shots, after that l often would see someone and see the part l wanted to photograhy sometimes l crop but alot off time l just do part off face, this one off young lady is as seen uncroped, also l have rely bad eyesight and one off my eyes is blurred so often when l see someone lm seeing part off their face clearer than rest so feels quit natural lm just learning rely but its fun to do, xx

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Her 'Day of the Dead' style facemask definitely caught my eye and she was thrilled when I told her it was amazing. Nice to see her vigorously rubbing alcohol gel into her hands too. Stay safe everyone and have a great weekend of photography!

The painting: "Closed" by Martin Wong (1946-1999,) acrylic on canvas, 1985-1986, was part of the show "Around Days End: Art In Downtown New York, 1970-1986" at the Whitney Museum Of American Art. It is a dark, depressing, dystopic painting, very much a reflection of that neighborhood during that time period. Ironically, this is the same neighborhood where the new Whitney building now stands, revitalized by development and large infusions of cash: now home of some of the most expensive real estate in the city.

This show took place in late 2020, when the city was slowly reopening after COVID shutdowns. The mood was paranoid, and the Whitney limited visitors and required timed tickets, face masks, temperature checks, and (I'm not 100% sure now) proof of vaccination. So this painting and show suited the mood.

Whitney Museum Of American Art, Meatpacking District, NYC -- October 29, 2020

Adorned with facemask vinyl, ScotRails's 1H13 1333 Edinburgh to Inverness service (43145/43152) creeps past the crossing gates and into Blair Atholl. Such devices - the face mask, that is - will be be obligatory for a while at the village's store.

The former HR box and up starter BA7 can just be glimpsed.

A single use surgical-style face mask worn to the point that it is fluffy. That mask must be a Petri dish of disease in itself!

With a two metre distancing guideline still in force in Scotland and my usual style of getting closer than that in my candid shots, I found it really difficult to judge the distance and consequently had to crop this shot a little more than I would like. Stay safe everyone!

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Street photography has always been a valuable photographic documentary of life at a certain time in our history. I wonder if we would have seen similar images if street photography had been as prevalent in 1918. Stay safe everyone!

After a few short trips into the city to shoot street while wearing a facemask myself, I have noted that I am getting far more of a cautious reaction than ever before. I have had a few wonderful exchanges of smiles from behind masks but perhaps it is more difficult for most people to see the smile in the eyes. Stay safe out there!
