March 2020, the first days and weeks of COVID lockdown in France... Having been head of the Legal Department in a world-leading biotech company for 12 years before I retired, I am quite accustomed to dealing with emerging pathogens and what’s to be done in such a case.
Therefore, as soon as I heard and confirmed factual reports about what was happening in China (and that was early January 2020), I knew what would be coming and I quietly began to stock gloves and masks —not those ridiculous surgery masks that don’t help much, but the FFP3 masks that have genuine filtration and protection capabilities, such as the one in this photo. My wife mocked me at the time, as all the powers-that-be kept uttering soothing words about how the virus would never come to us (just like the cloud from Chernobyl which flew all over Western Europe but conveniently stopped at the Rhine and never went over France...).
There was, unfortunately, no more mocking in the weeks and months that followed. I wish the mocking had continued, as that would have meant I was wrong, and nobody likes to be right about more than 110,000 people (and counting!) meeting an untimely death in France only... and we ended up being much less hit than many other countries...
Anyway, in March 2020 I shot this picture with items that were going to be so symbolic of 2020 and 2021... and probably other years...
We've been in lock-down for over 3 weeks now and we have 3 weeks to go.
Slowly starting to go mad as can be seen by my daughter.
Lumen print on B&W photopaper.
For this one, I printed a film image I made a few years back, of trees (my "Dali" trees!) onto paper then cut around the tree shape, then placed on the photo paper with the flowers. I'd hoped more of the details in tree image would have been visible, but hey! Used clingfilm to cover this one as I quite like the texture it gives, rather than glass.
A series of images created in the garden whilst negotiating lockdown, and isolation moves through Spring.
Taken during the Melbourne lockdown, when almost everything was closed. Kentmere 100 pushed two stops. Yashica Electro 35 GL.
This picture is almost straight out of camera, except for a couple of edits: A small amount of extra sharpness and a soft vignette. I start to shoot with Cinelook picture profile from VisionColor: vision-color.com/products/picture-styles-canon-eos/
The period of quarantine required many of us to change our pace, but truthfully lockdown barely changed my rhythm. I was in lockdown long before Covid-19.
I started running outside with a camera not to escape the world but to confront it. Now, after 7 years and 14,000 kilometres, with a profound limp, I have concluded that by turning my eyes outward, I didn’t really find answers. Instead I found a larger set of mysteries.
I learned that you can only really know the world by pushing your body through it at ground level. A camera was extra weight, but it helped me focus and remember.
A key learning from all this was: Do the work you love and care about, not merely the work that the world rewards you for. Do less but do it well.

OK, I am a pushover for an appealing ad!!
PS. It is delicious and will help while away the lockdown period if I don't run out!

✂ Home hair care at the time of the lockdown.
This image of a lockdown walker was taken through the windows of a closed KFC. The yellow stripes are from a fence behind me reflected in glass inside the building. The picture was easy enough to take but I had to wait over a quarter of an hour for a figure to fill the gap and complete the idea, fortunately he had just the umbrella I had hoped for!
The idea came after viewing Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" painting
