Self Isolation, Day 1: The Gang’s All Here
*Today’s post was originally going to be about my camera collection, but, in light of the current pandemic we are all facing, I decided to do something a little different.
I want to begin by saying that this past week has been one of immense anxiety on my part — some COVID-19 related, some not. Outside of this website, I work a retail job, and our lives have been turned upside-down as we have been gripped with uncertainty and fear over what is to come over the next several weeks; we, like all of you, have no idea what to expect in regards to our lives or our jobs, because we simply don’t know how long this pandemic is expected to last and how that will affect our daily operations. I will refrain from discussing all of the details on this platform, but just know that I am with you all and that, like everyone else, I hope that we will weather this storm without seeing our worst-case-scenarios realized.
Since I will not be going to work/will be going to work very little, depending on the circumstances, I have decided to do a photo-a-day until the social isolation period is over. I will also be including a quote from a photographer/artist, and, as always, I will updating you all when necessary.
To finish off, today’s QOTD is:
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
