During the early days of lockdown in Sydney, after the Ruby Princess outbreak, most people were staying home. As a news photographer I was still required to work, but as school had been cancelled I would look after my kids in the morning, sometimes taking them with me on outdoor jobs. That's how this image came about, showing my youngest standing in a cold southerly near Curl Curl, his red hair looping and jumping around his face in the strong wind.
