Lorraine, Richard, Brooke, Isla & Nicole have lived on the street for 2 years. They happened to be renovating their front door when I dropped round to take their photo. “Lockdown 2020 COVID-19 COVID-19 has meant many different things to our household! Being self-employed and an electrician, where all your work is in the public entertainment, via restaurants, gyms and tourism. This initially caused financial worry. The actual outcome has been that the support from the government mean we should have a business in a well-equipped position and ready to resume when possible. For the other half of the household it is been challenging to adapt to some WFH while supporting a team of scientists to maintain the approach of ‘business as usual’. As scientific research is seen as more important than ever, it is amazing to be part of such a historic and unknown time but challenging. At times it’s frustrating that, as a household we haven’t been in the same situation, but for the greater part, relief that together as a team we could cope with it and consider ourselves the lucky ones. There have been many benefits to this challenging time, the work on our home has progressed, more than it would have. Having the opportunity to spend more time with the children we would normally only see every other weekend - they have been coming every week and sharing the time between us. Being part of their daily lives through this, teaching them and ourselves how to occupy yourselves without electronic gadgets. All of this has slowed most peoples lives and given a time of reflection on what factors complicate and add pressure to our previous lives in what we call normality. Will life be the same as before? I hope not as we have realised a little more of what is really important and hope to hold these thoughts when lockdown is no more.” I am shooting a series of #portraits of residents of Victoria St in #burystedmunds to put together a small local record of this challenging time. #lockdown #suffolk #suffolkphotographer #eastanglia #cambridgephotographer
