In March 2020…you know what happened. A global pandemic spread around the world. In a desperate attempt to stop or slow down the virus, many places rolled out stay-at-home orders and shutdowns of what they deemed non-essential parts of our society. As this was happening, I started to get into shooting film. Here are a few shots I or my girlfriend took within the first 6 months of COVID.

We drove out to this far northwest suburb to essentially walk around and look at things. Not much was open. But it was a welcome break from being stuck at home.
