Covid 19 is affecting the working lives of millions of people globally.

Here in Australia, being an island we have managed the virus well. Victoria with poor governance and dishonesty initially caused our country huge

costs with the lives of several hundred people and billions of dollars lost in the economy due to shutdowns and a curfew. Finally we are on top of this awful second wave pandemic....not so elsewhere.

The future is in our hands the fear is complacency and selfishness. I fear although the second wave is now considered a thing of the past.. it's a delicate balance keeping the numbers to zero new cases...if possible.

Most of the building and industry infrastructure has in some limited ways continued, it's the small businesses and sole traders that have been hit very hard, many have collapsed. In Victoria, we have apparently had the hardest longest lockdown in the world. It will be a long trek back to the way we were.

In lockdown and being a freelance, photography was not a "necessary industry", I was not able to capture the images all around us. Newspaper photographers and journalists working for the dailies have published some incredible stories and images I look forward to the books and movies documenting this modern day "Plague" and hope we all learn by our bad decisions not denying the evidence of the truth of origin.
