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.

"We need someone to take our family picture. This was our attempt." is the text I received the other night. I knew right away that they were  going to be a great family to work with, they needed something I could deliver.
Picture
They booked a session and we headed out to create memories.
Picture
Picture
I love to encourage everyone to have fun while we are out. It didn't take much to get these guys going.
Picture
Authentic smiles are the best!
Picture
Some really sweet moments happened.

Then there were some silly moments.

I think we managed to get a few great family pictures by the end of our time together, but what was even better, was the fun we had! Thanks Maureen and Justin
​, for sharing your family with me.
