365:207 NEALE JAMES

An iPhone grab in which between stations on London’s Bakerloo line I’m looking to tie in a detail, like an action, or a colour and perhaps tenuously I achieve the latter with the door and an alighting passenger. It’s the first family visit we’ve taken to London together since the initially sharp lockdown almost exactly two years ago to the day. So we recreated the day he would have had twenty-four months previous had it not been a virus that shut down the world, and the ‘normal’ that people so crave seemed to be in abundance in a city that sings in the sunshine. Noise, bustle, queues. I never thought I would appreciate a queue, but standing in one outside a doughnut shop fifteen or so minutes after this was made, was a luxury reserved for so-called ‘normal times’. I only pray that becomes a luxury across the world once again, soon - for all manner of reasons.
