What Happened To January?

A choir singing, a crowd gathers, not everyone watches. Some like me are more interested in the crowd and others are lost in their thoughts. She seems to see me, but no acknowledgment, just one small moment in an evening.

This image was taken while I was on the road working. After or between lockdowns for covid, hotel rooms can be bleak and the hunt for pictures and decent food passes the time away from home. I’m still building slowly back to using this blog, life and work will always take up space, and after a nearly twelve month block I am writing again, so things are settling back into something like normal. I’m really not sure what happened to January, I had a mild dose of covid, and 10 days in isolation, my room and workspace is tidier because of that. I’m grateful it was nothing worse.

If you are out there, say hi, tell me how life is for you wherever you are in the world.

I’m working my way backwards, sorting images. Reworking some older pictures from around Christmas last year. Enjoying looking back through the family collection as I rename folders for easier searching later.

Watching to see how people are using the space, looking at how close I can crop images, to retain the details I want. I’m reading a book I received for my birthday, looking at street photographers from around the world. I love the diversity in the way images are taken and used. The Book is called “Street Photography Now” by Sophie Howarth and Stephen McClaren and I recommend it to any people watchers and photography lovers.

Take some time.

Probably at the limit of what I can produce from my camera at the moment. I still like to try out different styles, using Lightroom to push ahead with an image.

Sometimes the shops can be quite worrying places, full of sinister ideas. I wonder if they thought about the idea behind faceless branded children?

The personal reminder that you were here, no longer a family snap. Now a moment on the world of social media, to be lost in the white noise of the internet.
