I started snapping these images on my phone on my morning runs in my local neighbourhood in London at the start of lockdown in March 2020 to give some meaning to the world around me, as I’ve done all my life, through photographs. By the first summer of lockdown it felt a good moment to reflect on them. The idea for a book to raise money for my local foodbank seemed the least I could do. Like all London boroughs Ealing has its share of deprivation, now at a critical level as a result of the pandemic.
Since then I’ve made three further books, documenting the period up to the official end of restrictions in England in February 2022. They trace a literal path through this time using the sights of the street as a reference point.
