20 Images Of 2020
Documenting the Pandemic

Picture
Taken April 17, 2020- not the toilet paper section of the store, but the pasta shelves.

Picture
Teddy bears appear in windows and all kinds of different places. Children and adults can go around spotting them as something to do during the pandemic.

Picture
My socially distanced neighbors are doing what they can do during this time, getting outside for a walk.
Picture

The computer is essential for spending time with family and friends in April.

Picture
Masks are essential and can be a fashion accessory or make a statement.
Picture
Sharon PD does their part in helping kids cope by offering bicycle safety programs.
Picture
Bar Mitzvahs and other family celebrations are very small and like this one, are held outdoors with most guests attending via Zoom.
Picture

Haircuts are not available until later in the year. Everyone gets a little shaggy or they learn how to do it themselves.
Picture
My church, Hope Church, moves its services outside to a member's home, when we are able to meet in person again.
Picture

We move back inside in the fall but also stream online. Attendance is sparse in person.
Picture
Restaurants have to adapt and many are open only for takeout and delivery. Sadly, many close down completely.
Picture
Sharon High School's graduation is very different. Cars line up at the train station in a "car parade" to drive to the high school to graduate one at a time and drive on.
Picture
Picture
Marlene Chused retires as town clerk with another car parade wishing he well. No retirement party could be held.
Picture
Picture
School is online and my son-in-law and grandson are guest speakers for an online  session with an elementary class.
Picture
The train station is empty. On this evening, the train stopped and no one got on or off.
Picture
This is my neighborhood after a fall wind storm.  We live very close to the train station. Normally with the high level of traffic coming to and from the train station, these leaves would have been blown aside, but they blanked the road all day until the wind started up again.
Picture
Because the streets were so empty, it was easy for me to set up some long exposure shots in in May. Very few cars were out.
Picture
There was no trick-or- treating, but there was a very imaginative and well done "trunk-or treat" event organized by the town Rec. Department. Families stayed in their cars and drove though the displays made by various groups or individuals They collected a bag of treats at the end.

I know you we are all still experiencing the pandemic, but I felt compelled to do this blog post to be able to look back at it in the future. Photography is so important for documenting life.

A Day In The Life

Yesterday I decided that I was going to record a day of my life in photos. I was inspired to do this after looking at another photographer's photos of ordinary life. I found them very interesting to look at. So Here is my version.
This is the first thing I saw as I opened my eyes this morning. I had left my camera on my nightstand knowing I was going to photography my day.
Picture
My Husband had already gone to work . There was another snow storm going on outside so I decided to grab my book and read in bed. Well, 2 hours later I woke up after "reading" and got out of bed.
Picture
My daughter's boyfriend and his dog spent the night. He is a teacher and his school  had a snow day. Here his dog is sleeping soundly.
Picture
My own 3 dogs were excited that I was finally up.
Picture
The kitchen does not look  too bad after having a house full of guests for the Super Bowl.
Picture
When the dogs go out, the cat always comes to see what is happening.
Picture
My husband stops home for a quick snack.
Picture
Back to work.
Picture
Last night this room saw lots of emotion as the Patriots won the Super Bowl !
Picture
In the bathroom, I look up and chuckle a bit. Up above the sink where all the little police figurines are, I spy my husbands new hiding spot for his toothbrush. He always hides his toothbrush. When I used to read, The Watsons Go To Birmingham to my class each year, the dad in the story hid his toothbrush also. I was so surprised that someone else had a hangup about hiding their toothbrush. 
Picture
A lot of my day involves dog in, dogs out.
Picture
My daughter cooks up a mean breakfast. They are called Daddy McMuffins. My husband always makes them for the kids. (Who are all adults now.)
Picture
Picture
Picture
I decide to do a little reading again, flanked by furry friends.
Picture
Time to settle in and watch a movie.
Picture
.....wonder how it ended.
Picture
Still snowing
Picture
The last event of the day is a friendly game of Phase 10.  Actually, the last event is writing this blog. Just another ordinary day. Time for bed.

    Ann-Marie Ford

    After 31 years of teaching, I have decided to retire and start a new chapter of my life as a photographer. It has been my passion for about 7 years now.
