Strange days indeed…That’s what we all say, well I’ve actually stopped saying it now, now it’s just a case of waiting I guess.
Due to my job I’m actually aloud to keep working, so I see the deserted streets in Liverpool City centre frequently. Well not completely deserted, there are still people shopping for food and workers who need to work going about their business.
Strangely though it occurred to me that I’ve always sought out isolated figures over the years in my street photography. I’ve hated the crowded streets where everyone has a shopping bag or is on a mobile phone, I’ve found no poetry in that kind of picture.
But now I have no interest in photographing such things, mainly of course because I don’t think it’s appropriate to be out taking pictures during a lockdown, it’s not essential, but it also feels more intrusive than ever.
