Creating a Time Capsule for the covid 19 pandemic
Creating a Covid-19 time capsule
As a newborn portrait photographer who has had to close their business temporarily due to the Coronavirus outbreak, I have been finding things to keep me busy during the lockdown period. This year is definitely going to go down in history. The year of the Covid-19 pandemic and everyone except those most needed workers had to stay home, not go to work and no one could visit their family and friends. Whilst looking for positive things to do while at home I found this idea which I love so just had to share it with you all.
How to mark this historical event
Have you considered marking this historical moment with a Time Capsule? Wouldn’t it be lovely for us all to look back at this moment in years to come? Even though things might seem a little bleak now, I know it will be something really interesting to share with future generations.
You don’t even need to search for a time capsule template as I have two great ones that you can access completely free of charge!
