"A time of intense difficulty or danger."  This is how a Crisis is defined. But a crisis can mean something different to different people depending on their perspective.  So I ask myself what is my perspective of the Covid-19 crisis?  

I have not gotten sick.  My family and friends are all healthy.  Some family members are scared, others are not worried or even bothered by the thought of this virus. By I had to understand how did I perceive this crisis and what did it really mean for me. 

So I decided upon a documentary photography assignment, to document one single day in lock down.  The day had to be "typical" so I picked an average Wednesday on a average week in this very intense time.  Before I show the images let me put them in a bit of context.  

Buenos Aires Argentina, where I am currently living, took the lock down very seriously.  Everything is closed, no one can roam the streets without a permit aside from a trip to the grocery store or pharmacy.  We have been in lock down 7 weeks when this documentary was made.  There is no telling how long it will last with a minimum of two more weeks before a bit more freedom is considered by the government. 

Hidden behind my daily routine is a resentment of the limitation of my personal freedoms. Oh I understand the necessity and respect the rules but I still resent it. My individual freedoms are being sacrificed for the greater good. I thought I would be comfortable with that but I am not.

Finally, I am working while on lockdown.  In fact, I am working more now than before the lockdown. Reviewing emergency response plans, complex discussions with concerned customers and keeping up with coworker's mental health have all been added to the typical job's tasks.
