Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

Yesterday, the 9th August, I made my first street shots in Glasgow since the 2nd March having spent 5 months hibernating away from the Coronavirus at home. I only spent an hour in the city but that hour was actually quite terrifying. I understand, anecdotally, that the people of Scotland are adhering to Covid-secure ways of living more-so than England but I saw so many people without a care of the virus in their minds. Little social distancing, few people wearing masks and those that were, only a few were wearing them properly. People were no longer keeping their distance from others as I had observed in my home town during early lockdown walks. Now, it was bumping and jostling on the busy streets as ever before.

I also note that 5 months of hibernation equates to greatly reduced muscle strength in the legs and I even pulled a muscle in my back from my 5kg camera bag. I'm now nursing some back pain though it is the site of an old industrial injury from many years ago so there must have been a redundant weakness there waiting to be found.

This is one of 9 shots I took in the hour. My confidence not quite at the level it once was but my confidence can be rebuilt easily when it comes to shooting street.

Stay safe out there everyone - not sure how often I will shoot new street images at the moment, and definitely not until my back stops hurting, but I hope you enjoy the few new shots that I took.
