Kaipātiki Alone Together showcases lockdown images
Images of life during lockdown in Kaipatiki are portrayed in a newly released book.
The edition follows an initiative by the Birkenhead, Beach Haven and Birkdale residents' associations inviting residents to upload photographs taken during Auckland's first lockdown in 2020.
"We started this as a way to create and celebrate a sense of community during unprecedented times and to capture a snapshot of life under lockdown for future generations," said Birkenhead Residents Association chair Gillian Taylor.
“We were really inspired by people’s creativity which showed that spirit and resilience with images depicting the Bear Hunt, pavement art along with new ways to celebrate Easter and Anzac Day.
“There are other great photos people captured at home, through their windows and on their neighbourhood walks as well as the almost desolate scenes of roads empty of traffic or shoppers,” she said.
Commemorative books have been printed thanks to a grant from Kaipatiki Local Board.
These are displayed at the Northcote, Birkenhead and Glenfield libraries as well as the local board office.
The images can still be viewed and uploaded online.
