Being on lockdown due to the Covid-19 crisis, here's a pictorial diary of our experience. Fujifilm X100F Acros Film Simulation.
This facility on Canal Fields in Berkhamsted has been fenced off since late March and it presents a pretty depressing image. No pubs for the adults, no playspaces for the kids. The Swan Youth Centre runs the park which is popular and extremely well used (even if there are a few 'incidents' now and again). The extension was opened a couple of years ago, lobbied for, designed and fund-raised for by the town's young people. Canal Fields previously hosted an open-air swimming pool which opened in 1923 and was still going in the 1980's I believe. Can't find any reference to when it closed.
During the UK wide COVID-19 lockdown I was finding it frustrating that I couldn't really venture out and shoot the sort of things I normally do. So with plenty of time on my hands indoors, I decided to set myself a little challenge, to document my family in as simple a way as possible.
Basically all I used was one main camera - my Sony A7iii and one lens - my Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4. I would shoot only in camera JPEG and use the in camera black and white profile.
In post process, all I did was some simple crop and rotation corrections. Im sure I have one leg bigger than the other - always seem to be wonky!
I really like the set of images and I might make a little book out of them. I think it captures our moods quite well. Happy one moment, and bored and sad the next.
Kinda glad we can venture out a bit more these days; even if we aren't completely out of the woods yet. The freedom feels amazing....!

During lockdown, I set about making some portraits of my neighbours here on the canal. I made a print for everyone. Some were longlisted for Rankin’s 2020 on Sky Arts, but I don’t think they made the final cut.
This is a 'warning notice' from GO Transit,
a regional train and bus service in Toronto.
I got this notice Friday, as I'd not stamped my ticket.
I'd not stamped my ticket because I and 9 colleagues
had just spent three terrifying hours in a lockdown at my college.
It was Friday afternoon, and the campus was full of people.
I'm talking about creepy alarms, and recorded emergency messages.
Tons of cops with automatic weapons, and helicopters overhead.
I'm talking barricading classroom doors with tables, and thinking,
"I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe I'm doing this".
I'm thinking of the terror people in highschools and colleges
have felt when there's a gun incident.
This is something I felt yesterday.
Three hours locked in the dark, in silence.
Jumping out of my skin each time we heard a door open.
Or saw a shadow pass the barricaded door.
Wondering if 'this is it'.
Half past five we were led out of the college, and told to leave immediately.
I was numb.
I boarded the train, having forgotten to cancel my ticket.
Inspector 76 actually wanted to fine me. And take me off the train.
I tried to explain what had just happened to me.
Utter lack of empathy or any species of compassion.
I am taking this back to their company.
When the lockdown started, it was quite amazing how many people I saw out 'training'. The sports equipment companies must have made a small fortune. As time has worn on, 'the New Year resolution' mentality seems to have set in and there are definitely fewer than 6 weeks ago. My regime involves, this lot, plus running, walking and 'Zwifting' on my bike.
The protest is directed against excessive lockdown measures. One fears the transition to a totalitarian society. Forced apps, implanted chips, 5G control technology.

A year ago this pub hosted a bonfire and fireworks night. That obviously won't happen tonight regardless of Lockdown because the pub is to let. The viewing day was on the day before Notts went to tier 3 of Covid-19 restrictions.

This is near Weir Wood Reservoir, Sussex. It was our first short drive out for the permitted exercise since the UK lockdown began on 23rd March.

Made in Lockdown.
An art exhibition looking back at our experience of lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, with a focus on the creativity that came to the fore.
The exhibition is supported by a Near Neighbours Partner Grant, under the Covid Relief Funding called ‘Surge’.

Artists notes.
During lockdown I was missing getting all dolled up so expressed this with my painting o f a Drag Queen. I especially love Drag Queens for their glamour and amazing makeup skills.
Corrected with Lightroom.

UK GOVERNMENT: "At the moment two people can meet during exercise but they will be allowed to sit down for a coffee on a bench or have a picnic from Monday, March 8th."
BEAR: I hope you all appreciate how much walking Mrs d has to do to get these pictures!
SCRUFFY: The Government didn't say anything about having a coffee 'each'.
BEAR: Did you remember to pack the picnic?
