The semester of struggles is finally over! I wasn't sure what direction to take with my color photography this semester and then quarantine has begun. Motivation has been hot and cold. Some days it is a wonder that I actually get out of bed, and others I don't leave the house out of fear. This has made it somewhat difficult to find a theme or subject matter to focus on. Anxiety can become an issue when photographing outdoors. It seems to rise the longer I stay out, or when there are numerous people around, so finding a space where I can keep a distance or photographing from my vehicle became important. This dual sensation of feeling frozen in time and quarantine enjoyment because the outside world can't get in is strange.

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge  as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...

Over the course of quarantine my style of photography hasn't really changed all that much. Taking photos is always something I have done by myself. It is something that I can be alone with my thoughts and enjoy an activity. This allows me to still social distance while taking photos. I usually walk alone when I take photographs so I felt right at home. I think it actually helped me take photos because of the lack of people around I felt like I have more opportunity to go to places that are normally full of people and can be difficult to take photographs in.
roommates mariah and I worked on portraits which is not something in my comfort zone
