    WHY THIS SUBJECT?: I wanted to capture the effect the pandemic is having on people other than me. The extroverts of the world are longing for social interaction, or even to just go outside and enjoy the company of people other than their families. STAYING INDOORS THOUGHTS: Shelter in place is both the same and different for everyone. Everyone is under the same orders, but each experience is different. Some are handling it okay, some are destroyed by it. There are different degrees of distraught among everyone, and sometimes that\u27s hard to see just by looking at a photo of someone or talking to them every once and awhile. Many keep what they are feeling to themselves because they just don\u27t know how to deal with it. There\u27s no doubt that everyone wants this to be over, but it should be very clear that it can\u27t end unless people comply with the shelter in place orders. It\u27s difficult, but it has to be done. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE IMAGE: I decided to shoot through the window not only to maintain social distancing measures, but to capture the idea of being stuck indoors. If I had had my subject stand outside, I don\u27t think the message would have come across as clear.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/stuckindoors/1003/thumbnail.jp
