I can only think of two in my home. Is it the comforting tick-tock-tick-tock? Or does it make me feel not alone? That’s an oversimplification And a small exaggeration -- I think it’s that I like the wait It’s that moment, ever-so-fine When I weigh whether to check the time And the thrill of the chance that I might decide on “no.” On that date that we ever await The day which comprises that thrill Is the day precipitous that I cease and release Sisyphus I will say, this day is a day, and not a Sisyphean hill.

I see a girl who cares deeply about what other close family and friends think of her. A girl who cares deeply about the world. I see a girl with big eyes and beautiful thick hair. I see a girl who has natural beauty. Skin that glows. Long arms. A shapely figure. Nice eyebrows. I see an athlete.

I have a constellation in my body. Small and big stars that travel my skin. Sometimes you can easily connect the dots. Moles or birthmarks they call them. I’ve found beauty within them.

Obsessing over things no one was looking at, Very well became a source of stress and unhappiness. Even though things seemed to be fine on the outside You would’ve never guessed the reeling thoughts in my head. Over time something within me changed. Uncontrollably, a fire started to burn, Reminding me to never doubt myself. Solitude shone a new light on me. Everlasting. Lively. Fervent for more. Play “Motion” by Khalid // Fragmentos Antes, los pequeños detalles me molestaba; Mientras más me preocupaba, más los notaba. Avergonzada vivía, Teniendo que fingir que todo estaba bien por fuera. Era una farsa con la cual no podía seguir. A través del tiempo, algo cambió dentro de mí. Turbulentamente, un fuego empezó a arder. Inspirando en mi interior una nueva perspectiva. Meses de confinamiento la han resaltado aún más, Implorando que la deje brillar, Sobresalir. Monumentalizar. Obrar por más.

Appearance is, regrettably, the metric with which we measure the passage of time - with the emergence or disappearance of wrinkles, baby fat, adolescent acne, etc. Even if, years from now, I forget what I did or felt at this time, I’ll at least have this documentation of what I looked like on the afternoon of Friday, July 24th, 2020.

La distancia se ha convertido en algo más que un espacio físico. Se ha convertido en un sentimiento de añoranza por los momentos juntos. Un sentimiento que desaparece, por unos momentos, con cada foto que mandamos. Un intento de imaginarnos juntos. Un intento por reducir los 730 km que nos separan. Pero la distancia no es olvido, no para nosotros. “They say distance is oblivion but I can’t conceive that reason because I will continue to be the captive of the whims of your heart.” Distance has become more than just physical space. It has become a feeling of longing for the moments together. A feeling that disappears, for a few moments, with each photo we send. An attempt to picture ourselves together.

They are doctors. I have worried about the health and safety of my family when my parents still had to interact with people on a daily basis. In March and April, my family was very worried about what my parents’ job meant for the health of our family. My mother, for a few weeks, wore a mask inside our home and stayed away from me and my brother due to her fear and the enigma of the virus that was still very new to everyone. I realized there are so many essential workers and people who must continue working on the frontlines to support their families despite the fear and concern for a deadly virus.

The idea of purchasing a physical copy of your favorite album or song is an old one, and now with the pandemic slowing down many stores across the country, the idea of physical music seems to be much more of an inconvenience. Still, people find enjoyment in vinyl, and go out of their way to go to their local record store, even during a pandemic. Vinyl has helped me get through quarantine. With all of the down time I have had, I have filled the gap by listening to album after album.

The row of masks hanging upon the doorknob, the exit point of every home, is both a snapshot of just one of these paradoxically minute yet quite monumental lifestyle alterations. The past year has hindered the ability to simply exit one’s house at all, and most certainly not without substantial limitations and changes, symbolized most profoundly by face masks, a focal point of the world’s battle with the virus.

Not being able to sing worship songs or feel God's presence in person was hard and making that transition to virtual worship made it even harder. All of those emotions are what I feel when I look at this image. I see the ivy taking over the building and I associate that with the virus taking over all of our lives. I see the posters telling me that I can't worship as the pandemic controlling my life. We have all been affected and the pandemic has interrupted many important things in our lives leaving us frustrated, alone, and scared. Being a teenager is hard. We are living in the midst of a pandemic and everywhere we look we see isolation.

I brought my camera one night to capture the emptiness of the gym due to the coronavirus pandemic. I was alone in the gym. I visited the pool, usually packed, it is completely empty. There was no one swimming. With the darkness you see the mystery and the eeriness of the pool. My shadow is alone in this empty place, once populated with people before COVID-19.

It’s led to dramatic loss of human life, economic instability, event cancellations, loneliness, and much more. It’s caused us to think deeply about human rights issues, and for many of us, learn more about ourselves. This pandemic has caused me to become appreciative of my relationships, and ponder about things in my mind. My goal was to capture how the human spirit has changed due to this pandemic through a sporting event. In many of my photographs, I aim to display the person’s emotions. It’s up to the viewer to figure out what emotions are being displayed in each photo. I photographed people's expressions through masks, body language and demeanor. — Wasswa Robbins, Georgia Soccer Park, Atlanta, Georgia, October 20, 2020,1:00pm https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10841e005d7f68d630fe9d/t/5fd815a489c44d5cce366621/1607996850805/Reeves+Bradford.jpg Galleries - The Lovett School • Curated by Karey Walter Social outings have always gotten me through the week. The thought of spending time with my friends on Friday and Saturday nights make the week more bearable. When Covid became rampant throughout the United States I lost that interaction Covid gave me the opportunity to try the things that I would normally “not have time to do”. I went fishing, walking, running, building, practicing things that I would never have done before. I explored new places. I walked through parks I had never been to and really tried to explore Atlanta. When shooting in Austin, I saw countless people taking advantage of their “backyard” and exploring the city, it was something I know very well. — Reeves Bradford, Austin, Texas, November 3, 2020, 2:33 p.m.
