How do you quarantine?

Or better yet (to me at least), how do you capture life in quarantine?  How do you document life in this weird and difficult year that is 2020? I picked up my camera from the get-go and have shot as much as I could, partly as a creative outlet, partly as therapy, partly for posterity.  I want to remember how it felt, that it was hard, but we made it through.  As part of my documentation, I did some limited porch sessions for donations to Shatterproof.org.  I was glad to have photos for me and for my community as well.  The year isn't over of course and who knows what will come next, but we're making it.  Do the next thing, hold on to hope.  We got this, y'all.
