Photographing indoors during the pandemic, I was looking for outdoor light shining upon my indoor subject. When taking this photograph, I had to open my front door wide, even though it was cold outside. I think the result was worth a chilly breeze.

The child is frightened and clinging to her mother, her life preserver, on the Staten Island Ferry. It makes me think of the anxiety caused by the pandemic which has hit the African American community particularly hard.

In the pandemic world where travel was impossible everything around my door became a subject for my photography. And my vision of what was beautiful, interesting, has changed. Imperfection, aging, can be beautiful.

Throughout the past year of 2020, many people’s relationships with their loved ones have been greatly affected. As everyone should stay home when possible to reduce the spread and remain safe and healthy, both myself and other people were unable to see each other.

The sunset over a churning sea seemed a perfect metaphor for 2020 generally (and maybe 2021 too).

I enjoy walking on the beach and seeing all the beauty around, I find it calming and relaxing. Driftwood was taken on one of the walls and i thought the shape and texture was interesting. I hope you do,too.

I chose this submission because the green around the frog does not take away from the green color of the main subject. The frog is shown in detail, and stands out against the dark and muddy ground.

Going to the marches for BLM was a very moving experience for me. The passion and diversity of the people marching was a historic moment. I felt like we brought out the ugliness of racism and that we all have to help lift each other up.
