Like most people, I’ve spent much of the last few weeks just trying to understand, adapt, and adjust to what our new lives look like. It hasn't been an easy thing to do, and I know this doesn’t need explanation. I don't think any one of us has thought it easy, this strange situation we collectively find ourselves in. But even still, there are bright spots.
I’ve (re?)discovered just how much I enjoy teaching my children and watching them learn. I’ve found the time and the desire to focus on home. I’ve reconnected to what’s important and spent time shedding the extraneous. I’ve been, and managed to stay, inspired to learn, to read, to photograph, and to create.
This little series of images was born of just that. The first few weeks I had a hard time picking up the camera, feeling as if I had very little around me that hadn’t already been photographed. But eventually the voice telling me to make pictures got so loud that it couldn’t be ignored, and so I began to look for new images in familiar spaces.
And besides, I love a good rainy day.
