Here we are. Day one of the latest Order by Governor Larry Hogan that “states that no Maryland resident should leave their home unless it is for an essential job or for an essential reason, such as obtaining food or medicine, seeking urgent medical attention, or for other necessary purposes.”
Funny thing, I don’t feel like it is affecting me any different. Not yesterday, not last week, in fact for around 2 weeks. I have been staying at home, and only leaving for those listed purposes.
Even though I could go out to parks, and other nature locations to take photographs, I have been staying home. Taking a few photos of my front and back yard is all that I have been photographing.
The only human contact has been my wife, son and one brief trip to visit my brother just to be certain he is doing ok, since he lives alone.
The only other human contact I have had has been via tele-conferencing. I have a bunch of Networking Associates and we have been having virtual meeting these past two weeks. So I have been having my human contact.
What I am missing though are my community theatre friends. This weekend was to be the closing weekend of a show that I had been working on as a photographer and planning to help back stage. Of course that show has been put on hold, and may not ever be seen by an audience. And there the next show, which was to begin rehearsals a couple of weeks ago and scheduled for opening in June. Whether we will do that one is WAY up in the air. I hope we do!
