The New Normal
It’s not often an issue becomes so universal that it threatens our normal way of life. With people staying at home during the lockdown aimed at stopping the spread of the Coronavirus all of us are having to learn to adapt. But how are people being affected across the UK?
Through my own personal network, I asked people to contribute to a crowd sourced collection of images collected in a ‘zine’ to get a feel for how being isolated or kept indoors during the Covid19 lockdown period has affected people. Some will have found the extra time beneficial to be able to finally complete that home project they have been meaning to do for months. Others I imagine will find the isolation and potential loneliness a problem and negative effect.
I asked people for a photograph and short description about how lockdown has affected them. All images were taken during the month of May, and the vast majority shot on camera phones. Being my personal network (professional and personal) Cornwall is featured heavily, but contributions range as far as China.
