Documenting My City’s Life in Time of Covid19
As a photographer, I feel it’s important for me to document what it looks like in my city when we are in the starting point of a pandemic, and where we go from here. I live in a city of about 130 000 people, that is spread out pretty widely. This is a university city, in the middle of Finland, countryside vibe and lots of nature and lakes around us.
While I say “document”, I want you to always remember that a photograph is not an accurate representation of reality, ever. It’s only the photographers version of what they see and want to tell you. It’s easy to change the narrative by cropping something out, changing the angle, and of course photoshop. Always always always remember that, especially when it’s in the news.
In this instance, you have to remember that this is a fairly small and peaceful city as it is, and I purposefully looked for spots that made my story work. The city that is slowing down in its first days of most schools being closed and a lot of people working from home and avoiding unnecessary human contact. Shops are still open, cafes are open, maybe a few small businesses have decided to close their doors for the time being. It is considerably quieter today, than it was for example on Friday, and I was out during lunch time, when it's normally pretty lively out in the city center.
Shot with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 85mm f/1.4.
Kids playground closed inside a mall.
Main bus station for city busses, normally pretty packed.
Empty train.
Barber shop still open.
"Closed"
I’ll keep documenting how the situation develops, if it develops, over the course of days, weeks and months.
Ps. I was not putting myself or anyone else at harms way by going outside. The situation might be very different where you live, and it might be necessary to not go out at all. Keep yourself informed, and don't panic.
Wait, does that train have two floors?
Yep. Some trains have that.
I've never seen a double-decker train before! We only have one floor trains in Estonia.
Didnt know you were from estonia @kristves! We were there late last year
It's becoming like ghost town over there as well huh?!
I've been at home for many days now. Just trying to plan out the day in a way for me not to go to waste! Damn it's not easy saying at home all the time. ;/
Slowly but surely now that people are finally taking things more seriously. Staying home is the best, enjoy it :P

Here's some TP because apparently human's can never have enough.
Every household in Finland has a bidet, we fine here! :D
Aussies use gum tree leaves and koalas.
You still have those after the fires?
Some...Most people have been stockpiling koalas for weeks! Spare bedrooms full of the bastards! Lol.
None on the shelves at the supermarket...
Maybe it's a good thing they have homes now and are not left in the cruel prison like stores.
Haha, yeah true...But being used for ass-wiping might piss them off. Ya reckon? Lol.
