"Hello from the most isolated place in the world, New Zealand. We are in the third week of a one month lockdown; we have to stay within our family bubbles, only essential services are open (convenience stores / supermarkets / chemist and petrol stations), walking the dog and bike riding are permitted within our bubbles. Social distancing is the new normal. No boating / swimming or surfing, it is completely banned along with no travel or excercise.

All the photographs that I have submitted are taken in lockdown, whilst walking the family dog within my small neighbourhood or bubble. The portraits are taken from two meters away from all subjects. The location for this series is in Auckland, in my hometown Devonport."
