Quarantine Chronicles 2020 – A Photo a Day in May
For the month of May, while following the stay-at-home order in Ohio and feeling very un-inspired, I challenged myself to make one photo a day with a camera. I'd already been taking daily walks and making photos on my phone, but I wanted to be more purposeful. So I actually made multiple photos each day, but specifically focused on one simple moment and chose only one photo to post on Instagram with the #aphotoaday hashtag. There's nothing ground-breaking in this collection, but the challenge forced me to slow down even more and truly appreciate the day-to-day moments. At first it was a burden, as I was still heavy with lack of inspiration and general anxiety about the world. But each day I began to look forward to really making time for a photo. Some days were definitely rushed. Some days, my ideas and the outcome were pretty disappointing. I wish I had made more self-portraits and experimented more. But here it is, in all its imperfect glory, a time capsule of 31 personal moments, my 31 days of Quarantine Chronicles. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order, captured on either my Nikon D750 or my Fujifilm X100s. (click the thumbnails to enlarge — there are a couple that are pretty dark!)
