For the month of May I took photos of families around my neighborhood of Oakhurst as well as the surrounding area of Decatur. The goal was to document families during the pandemic of COVID-19 and take a snapshot of our lives while we had to quarantine and keep social distance from one another.
I want to share five things I really loved about this project:
Seeing how people celebrate special life events occurring in the time of Coronavirus and quarantine
2. Witnessing the resilience of people in difficult situations
3. Hearing other’s “silver linings” and their willingness to share the good things they see happening in a hard season
4. Watching families grow (whether it is a new baby or new pup) and become stronger together
5. Discovering the beauty of our neighborhood and all the lovely homes in the area
Thank you to everyone who participated in this beautiful project. I am grateful for this experience and the joy it has brought me during this unprecedented time in history.
