While my life has changed dramatically due to the presence of COVID-19, my surroundings have changed little, because the stay home order was only issued today for South Carolina. It will be interesting to see how this impacts my surroundings more in the next few days and weeks. The only noticeable difference has been restaurants converting to take-out and very little interaction with people other than my family.

This makes it somewhat interesting when approaching the change with photography. For my project, I wanted to capture my surroundings and what I’ve been doing to get outside and remain active. I still have the privilege of being able to go for walks and bike rides and I wanted to take photographs of most of the trails I have been going on. The trails are always quiet and I rarely see people which makes them a great way to get out of the house and stay socially distant.
