There is always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how bad the situation you maybe in. I am writing this from the point of view of being in lockdown for close to two and a half months. And knowing that I will be able to live with more freedom in what should be in about 5-6 weeks.
 
Whilst I have been in lockdown. LaMode magazine has been working hard to re-cut and recreate new videos from old editorials. We love the fact that if you work in the creative industry everyone has a different point of view.
 
Which can be good if you all have the same view on the same subject you may be working on. But when you are working hard to re-cut a video to make it look better it can lead to a few creative differences. Which leads me on to write about how this lockdown has affected the many millions of people who can’t and won’t be able to do anything like get a haircut for another 5-6 weeks.
 
We say point of view because, the whole of the greater Sydney area is in lockdown, but not everyone has the same rules. There are curfews, and tighter restrictions out in the Western Suburb’s than there are anywhere else. So from the point of the New  South Wales premiere, she is dividing the greater Sydney area into two area’s so the virus cannot escape and, create more trouble for the area’s that haven’t been hit so hard. Which, LaMode magazine can relate too. A video should have a narrative, and when that narrative plays out you have an ending, which is a little bit like what this Pandemic is like to live with at the moment. Even though we are still very much in the middle of it.
 
What has happen over the last 20 months with this pandemic, has been life changing, which is again a little bit like what happens when you watch a movie or a video that has emotion and a moving ending to it.
 
 

These are really testing times at the moment in Sydney, NSW, not only with your mental health but also physically. Being in lock down is no fun especially when you don’t know when you are going to come out of it.
 
So, LaMode magazine would take some time to post its next culture editorial. It is a reflection of where we are and maybe where we are going with the rest of the year.
 
The video and the photograph’s show a certain emptiness, which is no surprise really considering that the greater Sydney area is in lock down. And as 5pm Saturday the 14th of August the whole of NSW.
 
Choosing how you spend your time in lock down is something not everyone would sit back and think about, would they? How offend do you get to press the pause button on your life?? It was going to be for 2 weeks, but two weeks has turned into seven weeks, with at least another four capped on top of that, at the time of writing this.
 
So to walk away from a lock down no matter how long it is, the goal should be that you achieve something from it? Apart from cribbing the virus. One of our personal goals here at LaMode is to walk away from lockdown as a better version of yourself, I know that everyone can improve something about them self’s. Skilling up on something that you have been meaning to get better at or reading a collection of books, not just seating in front of the TV and watching, movies or some meaningless show.
 
It’s all about mind set, having the right mind set when you are presented with something like a long lock down is not easy, but with the right mind set you can achieve so much, in a short space of time. Goal setting, writing a list and making sure that you can cross one of the tasks you wanted to accomplish is satisfying, no matter how big or small it was. And to stay focused is, in the upmost of importance to tick off each one of those goals.
 
Till next time, which we are not too sure when that will be.
