It has been a while since I've posted on here, and these images that I'm sharing are different from what I have posted in the past. I wanted to give some insight of my thought process behind this collection in response to the COVID-19 self-distancing.
It all started a few weeks ago when I was in Indianapolis, Indiana, having just shot the first round of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. I was heading to my vehicle on the rooftop of the parking garage at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. I could see the foggy Indy skyline from where I parked my car so of course I grabbed my camera along with the tripod and began the process of capturing what I saw. It was in the process that it hit me for the first time of how large the negative impact of the Coronavirus could have not only on my life but also on society.
The next morning I headed back to Indianapolis to begin shooting day two of the tournament. I was on the court about twenty minutes before the first game was to tip-off, and rumors had started flying around that the rest of the weekend was going to be canceled. It was a short time later that the rumors were confirmed as the PA announcer made the statement that the rest of the tourney indeed had been canceled. The feelings of confusion and uncertainty that I had experienced the night before hit me all over again.
That afternoon I began receiving cancellation and postponement emails from a majority of my clients. What was to be an extremely productive time for my photography business had suddenly turned into no gigs for the foreseeable future. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted so many businesses and people’s lives in a short period while leaving many with a sense of confusion, uncertainty, and fear.
In response I have attempted to make some sense of this unusual time by documenting what I’ve seen and experienced in my hometown of Columbus, Indiana. I have done so while maintaining a safe distance from everyone while I’m out photographing.
This period is an extremely complex issue to document, and I’m not attempting to cover any political angle or stories of professionals trying to save lives etc. What I have attempted to capture is how the virus has changed public spaces in Columbus that were once full and filled with the daily lives of this community. While at the same time, how some elements, such as nature, have remained the same by continually changing, giving us hope.
I hope that the images I have captured give the viewer some sense of the emotions I was experiencing in these vacant spaces. While a majority of the subject matter is melancholy, I was encouraged by capturing some moments of hope as well.
