Solitary Moments of everyday life

Unfortunately at this time, social distancing has become a way of life for the world. In these photographs, I have captured the solitary moments of people in their everyday lives, enjoying simple activities. Having time alone to think and contemplate may help us all understand the fragility of life. We are all looking forward to the day when our families and friends can get together again and enjoy the way things used to be. Stay strong and safe.
