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 Family Wedding

What happens when two wonderful people that have two great families meet, fall in love, and marry? A bigger blended family with more love is created. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity  to record their special wedding.  There was so much love in the air on that beautiful day in May. (Erin, very much a part of this family, was unable to be here because she is serving in the military.) 
Picture
Not much work needed here. The bride, Kristine, is so beautiful already, both inside and out. Kudos to the makeup artist, Michelle Beattie. She really knew her stuff and was so nice to work with. Everyone looked so pretty.

Kristine's daughter and ......
Picture
her new (step) daughter are looking  stunning and ready for the ceremony.
Picture
Before her makeup was finished, Kristine decided to open the card and gifts from her groom, Larry.
Picture
This was a good choice. Any smudges from the misty eyes can easily be fixed now..
Picture
Three generations have this under control. I am off to check out the groom and the other males in the wedding party.
Picture
Larry is very touched by his bride's gift to him in it's own special wooden case. Both Larry and Kristine are police officers, hence the badge on top of the case. 
Picture
I just love this picture! Larry's oldest son is reading a card  from Larry to Kristine's youngest son, and ring bearer. He said, "Thanks Larry!" But his face really says it all.
Picture
The back yard of the groom's parent's house is beautifully decorated and the day is perfect. Here are a few photos of the details.

Everyone is ready. Where is the bride?

Here she is, with her dad.
Picture
The ceremony was beautiful, filled with words of love. Each family member was highlighted and the children of the bride and groom all participated. Two families were becoming one.

I love how each family member got to pour some of their own colored sand into the jar to make the beautiful keepsake that represents the joining of two families.

Picture
Let the party begin!

    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.
