Halfway through it, life in 2020 has turned out to be very different from expected in so many ways for reasons that are both obvious from an external perspective as well as major changes in my own life. I have hit major life milestones recently of purchasing my first home with my wife and celebrating our first anniversary. Working during the existing crisis and not having the ability to travel outside the local area has made capturing new images, visiting locations I had plans for, and finding inspiration to publish more work has been impossible.
The rollercoaster of a year that has consumed our existence feels like it will never calm, but I am trying to find a way to get back to the basics of those things I enjoyed before and preparing to be back to normal once it is possible. Even with all of the major changes recently, typical ‘summer suck’ from passion for photography, and COVID-19 wrecking plans in the short-term I don’t see myself going without photography for very long!
