A Photo a Day 2020 #281


 Taken a few years ago now on a little shoot in Guildhall Square, Portsmouth-- a place close to my heart. I used to walk through this square daily when I was eighteen and it feels like a nostalgic spot for me in all sorts of ways.

A Photo a Day 2020 #209



This was a colour photo taken on my phone with nothing remarkable about it, just a choice to frame it through a fence.Turning it black and white makes that blue sky seem ominous and dramatic. It looks like a still from an old film.

A Photo a Day 2020 #202





I have a few masks now that I wear when in shops. It is not yet compulsory, but I have them, so I wear them. This is my only 'snazzy' mask! I did take a smiley version of this shot, but the eyes and the mask were crisper in this shot. I also think it conveys how many of us feel about the mask situation: apprehensive perhaps, but determined to get through this time, willing to make any adjustments necessary to help stop the spread and return to some kind of functioning situation.

A Photo a Day 2020 #152

Playground

A trip to town a few days ago proved to be interesting. I didn't photograph a lot because I didn't want to spend too long milling about, but it was certainly not the place I know and love. Despite this, people were queuing for a few shops and banks and people generally were being respectful of the rules.

Landmark from Afar

This is the amazing, brutalist Fareham Civic Offices. I seem to be obsessed with photographing this building this year. It has become some kind of symbol of comfort and home. It can be seen from all over the town, even at times where we are not able to get close to it and walk to town like we usually would (lockdown is a cruel mistress).
