My Quarantine | Social Distancing Kit

Before March, i would carry my Fujifilm Xpro-2 every day during my commute to work, travel, etc. Since being stuck in my apartment for what seemed to be forever, I was terrified to step out, but really wanted to document the city during these unprecedented times. There’s only so many photos you can take of the same 4 walls. The only reason why I didn’t go completely insane was because of my huge tall windows. I can see the city and pretty far north towards Upper East Side and a North Queens. Yet, it all felt too far away…

That’s when I decided to buy the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. I am super pleased with my decision to purchase it because it has allowed me to get closer, to take photos of people going about their day. Nothing is really the same as before, so I’m glad to be able to document some of it.

What’s your “Quarantine Kit'“?

Pandemic

These photos were taken with my phone, inside of a plastic bag. *vent*
What crazy and surreal times we are all living. I’m sure you all feel the same way. It’s really hard to not let the media affect you. Yesterday, i thought it was a great idea to put my phone in a ZipLock bag so I didn’t have to clean it so much. (Don’t worry I will not waste another plastic bag doing this.) I haven’t used my camera all week because i just wanted to go straight home from work and not touch anything. After work, I decided to walk home and avoid the train. I kept looking at all the people around and kept thinking “Please, don’t breathe on me”... I realized then that if I could’ve I would’ve wrapped myself in plastic too... Stay safe everybody. *turns off TV*
