Good Friday to you!

Here are 13 images I made with MS (prefers to stay anonymous) in my London studio towards the end of last year. In fact, this was one of the last shoots I've done in my London studio before I came to Israel to spend the winter here...and got 'stuck' here with the virus.

Hey YOU,

WHAT'S GOING ON? Don't tell me, nothing..I know...but actually, that's not true. I've been having some great thoughts during this crisis. I'm beginning to believe it's a massive shift, an upgrade for humanity. It's getting us closer to oneness. To ourselves, as harmony rather than separate d...

Madness. Who would've thought things could change so drastically within a month.

I hope you're ok. I hope all of your friends and family are ok.
