My friend Serena is maintaining both her relationships and eye for composition by taking pictures of colleagues outside their homes, while maintaining appropriate physical distancing, during the pandemic. She asked us to participate in this series and was kind in providing the original files from her shoot for me to share on our blog and keep for the future. I really appreciate opportunities like this, since normally one or the other of us is behind the camera and we don't have enough photos of the pair of us.
On March 12, the entire office at PDFTron was told to work remotely
until the ongoing Covid situation was under control. I felt fortunate to
have job stability and to be working at a flexible company that could
implement such a change quickly, but was also quite new to the position
and somewhat concerned about meeting our ambitious next few months of
targets with limited access to our team.
Kathryn was
driving a ferry 3 days a week on the Sunshine Coast, which was
considered an essential service, but neither of us were relishing the
distance during such a stressful time. She had signed on to work that
gig over the winter, with an agreed end date of March 31.
I have now worked for PDFTron longer from my home than in their office
and everyone has come to terms with the challenges of distances. Kathryn
is back at home, but her usual summer jobs are all scuppered until
Transport Canada gives the go ahead. Even then, it will be some time
until the cruise ships are in town and the demand for tourism is high
enough to keep their services in demand. Throughout all of this, Wesley
has been a total joy.
He is full of energy and affectionate around the clock, following us
both like a little ginger shadow and making sure we always have someone
to talk to. When we first got him, it felt like it was too soon but he
was just irresistible, but with the circumstances of the last month he
couldn't have fallen into our lives at a better time.
