Hope everyone is doing well! I look back at the past couple of weeks and so much has changed from skating at the local rink to not being able to leave my home in California. The photos I chose are mostly from the beginning of spring break and one from Bowdoin. In a matter of two weeks the local rink where I grew playing closed and it has been fascinating and compelling to see the different approaches the community has done to prevent the rink from being teared down. It is very uplifting to see everyone come together (virtually) when we aren’t actually together. The rest of the photos I took were inside my home and in my backyard. The weather has been nice so I have spent a lot of time outside appreciating nature and playing basketball with my brother. I have also been digging through old photo albums. This project I wanted to depict a sense of optimism.
