My website has taken a backseat lately. Work as <a href=\"https:\/\/outerimage.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outer Image<\/a> had been great this year with many more events. So much so that I left my midweek work at the gallery (it was only 1 or 2 days a week anyway) and had been doing photography full-time. And then&#8230;..lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Halfway through a weekend shooting a couple of races up near Port Macquarie, I was informed that Sydney was going into lockdown for a few days. Since event photography and lockdowns go play well I had to pack up halfway through. My 2 choices were either self-isolate where I was or return home straight away. As much as I enjoy being away, sitting in my van for 2 weeks was not really my idea of fun and excitement so I came back home so I could get organized for the following weekend&#8217;s events. It was going to be rather hectic with 3 big events over one weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  That was 2 months ago. Sydney is still in lockdown with no signs of improvement. I&#8217;m still waiting for the events to restart. Each day, case numbers rise. I hear of more people out in the community while contagious, people protesting their lack of freedom, people going to parties away from Sydney. I am wondering if these people will ever let me get back to work. Having family and friends who live overseas I fully understand the mess this virus plays with people&#8217;s livelihoods and lives. We in Australia have been very lucky but Delta has dug its claws in now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At least&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  Thankfully, I live near the beach. We&#8217;re allowed to move for exercise within a 10km radius and work, where essential, (not as an event photographer though). Mornings sitting on the beaches watching whales and shooting surfing have kept most of the boredom at bay. I have not shot a lot of mountain biking lately or trail running or adventure racing or been to any great landscapes. I have been shooting a little bit of product for <a href=\"https:\/\/tyresandsoles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tyres and Soles <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bicyclesonline.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bicycles Online<\/a>, plus dabbling with a bit of video and planning world conquest once the lockdown is lifted. Outer Image hasn&#8217;t shut shop or such. Gil and I are just looking at it as more of an extended break where we can fine-tune a few details of our business. I&#8217;m getting to reorganize my website, shuffling photos, and rebuilding galleries and links where needed. Look, I have even managed a new blog post<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  Still&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;I wish I could get back to work. <\/p>\n\n\n<div  id=\"jtg-8927\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-custom-grid\" data-config=\"{&quot;height&quot;:800,&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:800,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:800,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:800,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0.5,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;custom-grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:0,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;animated&quot;:true,&quot;Thumbs&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;modern&quot;,&quot;showOnStart&quot;:false},&quot;Toolbar&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:{&quot;right&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;],&quot;left&quot;:[&quot;infobar&quot;]},&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;Carousel&quot;:{&quot;Panzoom&quot;:{&quot;touch&quot;:true},&quot;infinite&quot;:false,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;},&quot;keyboard&quot;:{&quot;Escape&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Delete&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Backspace&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;PageUp&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;PageDown&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowUp&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowDown&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowRight&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowLeft&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;},&quot;wheel&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:true,&quot;backdropClick&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;l10n&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.

I've traveled the world shooting sports such as skiing, snowboarding and skateboarding. In the last years I've turned my hand to mountain biking and trail-running photography. I've been published in numerous magazines from around the world. Although based in Sydney I roam far and wide to get the Images I'm after. More of my work can be found at my race website outerimage.com.au that I share with Gilbert Romane.","sameAs":["http:\/\/richardmcgibbon.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RichardMcGibbonPhotography","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/richardmcgibbon\/"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8923"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9004,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8923\/revisions\/9004"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.richardmcgibbon.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
