You’ll never look at Apple’s FaceTime the same way again after reading this story

During the pandemic year of 2020, millions of people around the world were confronted with a strange, potentially life-altering Rorschach test. Only, instead of a messy ink blob on a page, all of us found ourselves staring at something incalculably worse -- a terrible public health catastrophe, the likes of which most of us had never seen before, and which was compounded by lockdowns and so many other consequences that followed. One of the few things in our power, as the horror unfolded and the familiar rhythms of daily life were curtailed by desperate governments, was simply our reaction to it all.

This is why, after looking back over the things I wrote about and the people I met in 2020, UK photographer Tim Dunk is still one of the most memorable to me. Specifically, because of the creative thinking he employed early on in the pandemic, when you might have assumed his photography business should have been an obvious casualty of the quarantines and social distancing measures that went hand-in-hand with COVID. But no, Dunk inverted his thinking, got creative, and looked at the tools around him in a completely new way to keep working and staying creative. Those tools were his iPhone, and the FaceTime app.
