As a photographer who relies on travel for portfolio and assignment shots, I have taken precautionary measures to stay safe from contracting/spreading the COVID-19 virus by staying local. There are many locations to shoot that I can drive to and remain outdoors. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise for me because I'm going to explore locations near home that I haven't experienced yet. New England offers so many photography opportunities and I hope to take advantage of this time of self-protection. I hope this gives others ideas on how to get through the next few months.
