'Nathan!!!!? Like Nathan Never !!!? Hahaha…’

The blank confused look on my face said it all. ‘You don’t know him !!!!?’ he continued 'Man ,he was great! I grew up reading that stuff!'

That I day met and photographed Ivan from Sardinia, and I learnt that 'Nathan Never' was a famous, crime fighting, special agent hero and the star of a classic italian science fiction comic published in Italy in the 90’s.

So how was lockdown for Ivan?
‘It was AMAZING!!!! One of the best experiences of my life!’ .

He loved that he was able to do the things that he enjoyed without the pressures of the daily life schedule and work. He said it was really terrible the number of people who lost their lives and loved ones, but on its own the lockdown experience was incredible and maybe something we could all benefit from doing on a regular basis.

‘We could do it like once a year for a month, and it would be a time when you focus on you, and you could do something that you enjoy, something that makes you happy and helps you appreciate life, or learn something new. There would have to be restrictions though and you wouldn’t be allowed to just party the whole time or do anything like that, it would be more about finding yourself and finding happiness.
