Hey everyone, so during the week I was looking over some of my older blog posts. And I remembered that it was in late 2018, the last time I uploaded anything, here to my Blogger account. I use to regularly post blogs about what I was up to at the time. To be honest I kinda lost interest with my account. I still post often to my social media accounts, Facebook Photography Page, Twitter & Instagram, been my main outlets, where I share mainly my photography, and other things I find interesting. At times I can and do feel overwhelmed by all of my social media accounts. And I sometimes pressure myself to constantly keep them relevant and updated. But with whats going on in the world, in regards to Covid-19, I think now its more important to keep connected, with friends and family, post photos for people who cant leave the house, and just keep occupied for your mental and physical health.
May it be reading a new book, finishing that project you've been meaning to, or learning a new hobby or skill. We are resilient people, but were also very social creatures. Faced with the Covid-19, can we stay connected at a distance? Of course we can, and we are with technology like never before. Towns and cities are deserted, gatherings from sporting events to music concerts have been cancelled. And most people are staying 2 metres apart from each other. It wont last forever, hopefully things can get back to normality sooner rather than later. But for many, including myself it forces a change of routine that feels unnatural and uncomfortable, which can and will bring on a sense of anxiety.
Been a creative person my photography has been an avenue to express my feelings and emotions at the time. We're all creative people in one way or another. Many just haven't found what that is just yet.
Below is a small selection of some photos I created, over the past few weeks. I think people can relate to them, and felt the same at some stage.
Get moving
Get connecting
Get thinking
Get creating
