50 DAYS OF LOCKDOWN
On March 23rd, 2020, the UK went into lockdown due to the spread of COVID-19, essentially bringing large parts of the country to a standstill. I decided to use the time to start taking photographs of life at home, as we adapt to not only life during the pandemic, but also having a new member of the family with the birth of our Son.
At the beginning, I didn’t set out for the project to last for a particular period of time, but the project seemed to naturally draw to a close after 50 days.
I really enjoyed sharing the images daily, but it also became a burden to keep doing it. I’ve continued to make images beyond the 50 days, but drawing a line under the project after this time felt like the right thing to do.
A walk through Ramamere Heath in Rushmere Nature Reserve during the rain and mist on a Sunday morning.
A black and white landscape photographer, shooting Lomo Purple in a Lomography single-use camera on the streets of Watford. What could possibly go wrong?
A review of 2019 and my favourite landscape and nature images, and a look ahead to what's in store for 2020.
The third visit to Bolehill Quarry in 12 months, and a different set of images to previous visits.
The day started with a stress free car journey up the M1 to the Peak District (with a small stop for brekkie along the way) and we were ready to set off from the Surprise View Car Park for a morning exploring Bolehill Quarry and Padley Gorge.
Millbrook plantation is a small area of mixed woodland on the sides of two small hills just outside Ampthill, Bedfordshire. This small series of images were all taken within a 2 hour explore during some wonderful winter weather.
I headed off for a weekend in Brussels with my 2 best mates, 2 cameras, and a bag of film.
On Sunday 26th September the final four chimneys of the Stewartby Brickworks were demolished, and we lose another reminder of our local history.
