Although the Coronavirus is not currently in the headlines that doesn’t mean it’s gone away. On the contrary it’s still there and just as dangerous. Now that we’re collectively letting our guard down I fear that it will come roaring back. But I hope I’m wrong. Like you, I’m sick of hearing about it.

Organizing a Street Photography Collective with Shlomi Amiga

When we left the US things were relatively normal, and in New Zealand it seemed to be business as usual. Although we watched the stock market melt down on television, out on the streets of New Zealand life was normal.
