The Beinlich Family stands in front of their place of quarantine since March 9th when David and Jennifer Beinlich were both notified that the schools at which they teach would be closing temporarily. They have both lost people they know to covid-19.Raising chickens had been a lesson in responsibility, but it has since become a means of adding to their food resources.Most confusing for young children, covid-19 has produced boundaries and divides that were unimaginable just a couple of months ago.The new normal. Philippa and Henry Parker were excited to don their new masks, but when they step outside there is a pervasive unease that sets in.

I enjoy what you have done so far! The captions under the photos are very informative and I believe they will make great voiceover in your post-production. The only suggestion I have is to maybe cover a few more families around you so that your film shows more diversity; however, considering what we are going through currently, the last thing I’d like you to do is to step out your front door…But this could become a really well-finished piece and I am looking forward to your finished film.
I feel like I am most drawn to your photo of the children with the masks on. I think it would be very easy for this to become a dramatic representation of how the pandemic is effecting young children – something I don’t think a lot of us are thinking about unless we have young children in our lives. I like your comments about how it is the new normal but there is also an unease about wearing the masks. I think you could push forward with this idea and maybe even explore black and white in your editing – black and white can do a lot to make the viewer focus on emotion, expression, light, contrast, etc.
You topic is interesting, and I think everyone will think of their own family or childhood after watching your project. While I want to give you a suggestion: you can edit your photos and make them have different color palette, and it will make the series of the works more artful.
Focusing on children is quite fascinating in this project. I can’t help but be reminded of how my generation as well has grown up with traumas of the world, and how does this psychologically affect us as people later on?
I am glad you were able to have a second photoshoot, and I’m curious to see how those turned out.
The image that strikes me the most is when both children are standing on the steps. It is interesting how their positioning here can tell a story in itself, and make it appear as though the child in front is ready to protect her brother who is standing a few steps behind. Great job.
I love love love what you’ve done here! I see some similarities between our projects so it’s nice to see how you approached it. I really like that you’re tracking the project over a period of time! My intentions for my project were to be more theatrical/studio-based so I can appreciate you adding the element of time to your project. It definitely helps to establish your idea as more of a documentary – which is one of the concerns I had regarding mine. So far you’ve managed to produce strong imagery with clear intentions – great work! All I’d have to say is keep shooting and I’m excited to see your project (:
I like how you shifted your subject to portray how children are experiencing this major current event. Often with situations like these, it feels like the public gets caught up on the “adult” aspects of things so it is very interesting to view the event from the eyes of the youth. The captions of your photographs do a very nice job of explaining as well as presenting a mood. I think the most stand-out image is the one of the boy holding the rooster. It is an image that has many emotions and sparks the most thought. Really nice job!
