Photography and Life after COVID-19

The restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the isolation and lockdowns are at long last starting to subside. This has been a monumentally trying time for our world and our nation as well as for photographers.

It’s not easy to do street photography when the streets are devoid of people. The travel restrictions have been needed but have made documenting Buddhist monasteries and monks in Mongolia impossible. Out of a need to protect the resident monks, our local Buddhist monastery - the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington, IN - was closed to the public and currently remains closed.

As the nation cautiously begins to open up again, I am both pleased and grateful to once again be able to exhibit along with other artists in the FLAVA Fresh exhibit series. Many thanks go out to D. Del Reverda-Jennings for her hard work in making this exhibit series possible.

The first exhibit is on display at the Arts Garden in Circle Center Mall in downtown Indianapolis. This exhibit will be open to the public beginning June 29th and will remain on display until August 29th of this year.

There are two more exhibits pending in the 2021 FLAVA Fresh exhibit series. Stay tuned for more information.
