Coronavirus photo thread

[Larry Cloetta]

Larry, this is an extraordinary body of work you’re posting here. The old cliche “every picture tells a story” fits perfectly. All of your images are outstanding, not a single solitary clunker in the bunch. Well done!

All the best,
Mike

“Every picture tells a story, don't it?”

Wow, Mike, thanks! There are more, later. I did tend to think of Rod Stewart when doing whatever it was I thought I was doing here. I’m more of a one picture=one story person, not a series person, which is why they are all processed somewhat differently. As I said earlier, this is half travelog, and half viruses, but the travel was virus affected, to be sure. Even the parts of the country that are not affected, that’s a story unto itself.

Least populous town in the least populous county in the least populous state in the union.
Unsurprisingly, there have been no cases of the virus here.

I bought these tulips on a grocery run. Almost three weeks later i photographed them again (same roll of Pan F). After some proofs i found a framed photo to recycle. Printed the image to size, flipped the old matboard over and dry mounted the new image on the back, so i could reuse the old overmat & frame. Sometimes recycling becomes 'essential'

On this 2000 mile trip I drove through several counties which have not had a single case of the covid-19 virus. None. Most of these were in areas which primarily rely on summer tourism for income. There were a distressing number of businesses which have been put up for sale in the last couple of weeks, large and small. The problem is that most of these businesses rely on 4 months of good income over the summer to support the business and their families for the entire year. It's not a hugely lucrative life, but it's been effective until now. Many people have run the numbers and already understand that without this summer they will never make it until next year, so they are just selling the businesses and the properties to stop the bleeding from the overhead that continues unabated while they are forced to close.. with no real idea what they will do next. I have photos of a couple owned by people I spoke with, but there were many, many more.
