The BBC Asks: The last 'normal' photo on your phone


The last 'normal' photo on your phone before coronavirus hit.

It is interesting that most of those pictures featured crowds of people, and that's what is judged to be 'normal.'  Looking back through my phone, mostly I take pictures of landscapes and landmarks, with occasional documentation photos: "this is how I set up this gear" during a camping trip, or "this is what the inside of that plumbing looks like" before a trip to the hardware store.  When there's a person at all in a picture, it's usually solo or of a very small group.

Anyway, looking back, this street scene from Mardi Gras would qualify as 'normal' by the BBC article's standards.  The next weekend was Ham Camp #21, and while there were plenty of people there, somehow all that got photographed were tents, radios, and a plastic crow.  Go figure.
