Autumn Sky Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Here's an image to make everyone hopefully chuckle a bit. It is not on sale, but I thought it was worth sharing: What is this you might ask? Here's quote from web source: ----------------- Alan Henderson, an artist from Alberta, was commissioned to build a sculpture for the town of Canmore and found inspiration in the town’s name. It’s named after Ceannmore on the northwest shore of Scotland, which was in turn named after King Malcolm III, who was also called Malcolm Canmore. In Gaelic, Ceannmore means “big head,” and that’s exactly what Henderson produced. The Big Head sculpture weighs nine tonnes and looks like he’s emerging from the ground. His eyes are closed, and he appears to be in deep contemplation. --------------- Needless to say, mask was recent addition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanDavidson Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 As a news photographer I take very little but covid-19 photos. (I sneaked in a set of weather pictures today from Green Park). It is difficult. Some, like my Downing Street shots are OK, but I am also photographing the transformation of our local community hospital to a covid 19 facility. However it is reported on social media today that there are no ventilators and it is effectively an “end of life” hospital. That, in itself, IF TRUE is a news story, but one of incredible sensitivity. I try and will go on trying to be sensitive. The situation is not helped by the lack of official information. In the past couple of weeks I have asked the police press office a question, a local police unit a question and a health trust. Only one has replied but the reply was so anodyne as to be useless. I made a mistake on one set of pictures of what I was told by several members of the public, was a covid incident. It was not, but that did not come out until the next day and Alamy likes an hour turnaround. I caught pictures of a big police convoy escorting army personnel. I reported exactly that. It turned out to be an innocent good news story, but there was no way to have any context. The media are criticised for our coverage but it is next to impossible to get official information within the timeframes in which we operate. No one said it was going to be easy.... on the upside, with a press card, at least I can get out to take news photos. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after around a thousand deaths reported in 24hr I still feel that the gravity of the situation isn't appreciated due in part to the lack of visual coverage. It might seem gruesome, but seeing the effects the virus is having would help to get the point across and may in fact save lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
