This time it's a bit more serious.
COVID-19 is disrupting global life as we know it. Falmouth Photography MA and its students are no exception.
Our family is in complete lockdown currently. We were potentially exposed by an extended family member (recently returned from travel) who is now exhibiting pretty clear symptoms, including major respiratory issues.
We are a pretty healthy lot, and gratefully this is not a childhood virus, so we are not too concerned about getting the virus itself, but transmitting it to someone for whom it would be a much more serious event. We pulled our children out of school but shortly thereafter all the schools closed anyway.
What this means for my project. With all the halt in face-to-face contact recommended I'm going to have to re-look at my current methodologies and explorations. (I've had to cancel shoots lined up with children indefinitely). My state currently has limited tested cases- but that is because tests are near impossible to obtain. Idaho to-date has tested less than 200 people (5 positive). The number of caseloads that actually exists is predicted to be much higher.
Before lockdown I had been experimenting with RAW imagination- kids in action. Here are some of the moments I captured:
I enjoyed exploring this new style but with this new epidemic I know it won't be possible to continue.
With the spread of the coronavirus and the global turn of events, including staying at home, no travel, limited interactions, it looks like I'll have to re-think my project.
