A series of images created in the garden whilst negotiating lockdown, and isolation moves through Spring.
Combining some government approved once a day exercise with some food shopping.
Stay inside, maintain social distancing if you have to go out, wash your hands and don’t spread the virus!
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.

The UK is saying a big 'thank you' in any way they can to all key workers that are putting their lives on the line to get us all through the corona virus.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.
Keeping safe and occupied during the first six months of Covid-19 has taken its toll, in wear and tear, of my gloves bought at the beginning of the year.The family has been fortunate in dealing with the pandemic ,so far, and feel desperate for those who have been less fortunate....Hopefully my new gloves will not need the usage borne by my older pair with the understanding that we can all come through the remainder of this pandemic safely and quickly.
The Black Bull, like many other pubs it has boarded up the windows to protect it in case of attempted theft or vandalism while closed for weeks. I quite understand why they would take that precaution, but it adds to the air of unreality in the city - cafes, bars, cinemas, theatres, schools, most shops (other than food and pharmacy) closed, hardly any people to be seen and windows boarded up.
Funny, I haven't drunk in here since my student days long ago, and generally don't drink in the Grassmarket at all these days - some nice, very old bars (some were centuries old even when Robert Burns came to stay in those inns!), but normally too busy with tourists and stag and hen parties. Now I am missing that loud, often vulgar life around them....

Being a keen cyclist with more time and good weather, it has been a case of only snapping the odd bus with my iphone whilst out enjoying my government mandated exercise during the Covid lockdown. However, I have captured a few of the odd vehicle movements as operators used the most fuel efficient vehicles or those best suited to applying social distancing.

Very little traffic on a dark cloudy Saturday afternoon. The bus must be ahead of schedule as the driver has got out to check his smartphone.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson yesterday evening put the United Kingdom into lockdown to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, with people told to stay at home, with a handful of exceptions - one being that they can undertake one form of exercise a day, including cycling, provided they do so alone or with members of their household.
So I did. Alone. And avoided everyone.
Strangest sight: a chap driving is own car but wearing a facemask and latex gloves. Odd.
