Rankin Book 2020.

Hello there!

It's been a while since I have blogged, I'm not very good at this blogging lark lol.  

Just wanted to let you know about the Sky Arts TV show which was broadcasted in October/November over a 6 weeks period.  Rankin put out a request for all photographers to send him photos which you felt summed up 2020 and the overall mood, especially since this pandemic and the many lockdowns worldwide.  So I sent in a few photos.
Shortly after, I received a congratulations from Rankin's team saying that one of my photos had been chosen.  This is the chosen photo...

I sent this to Rankin as I feel it expresses the unnerving serenity of 2020, with the constant propaganda and governments giving you this constant fear, so you felt you could never sleep peacefully and slept with one eye open.  Always on your guard, even as you sleep. 
This shot was chosen and featured for the episode named 'Beauty'.  

There were 20,000 worldwide entries, which was whittled down to 224 photos for the TV show and the book.  The Rankin Book is now available from all book stores.  Profits from this book is going to various mental health charities. 

Enjoy the rest of the week,
Cheers,

Chris
