Photography Quiz

Updated: Nov 2, 2020

If you don't follow me on Instagram you wouldn't of seen my challenging Photography Quiz that I posted to keep people entertained whilst in self isolation, which is probably why your here.


Before we start I would just like to thank everyone who is still working during these tough times and the incredible work that everyone who's a part of the NHS are doing.


I realise that while some people might be coping well and quite enjoying self isolation there are others that are struggling mentally with the situation. I would just like to ask everyone that is reading this to give their friends or family members a ring and if possible even a video call to check to see how they are doing.


Ive put a few links below to some websites that may be useful if you or a friend or family member are suffering from depression, anxiety or loneliness. Above all just stay home, keep safe and set yourself something to do each day.
