In order to keep a safe distance, she is taking photos of families through their windows. She started doing this a week ago and scheduled shoots every day and all of this is for free during the shelter in place. I hope it remind you on the times where it was bad, but more about the times where you were never closer with your family at home. My kids we have never been closer than right now. Very tough and challenging, but still very close. Mary pendalton and her family were dedes first photo window subjects. Were all taking pictures on our iphones as we go, but something about that outside perspective in the beautiful photographic qualities that she puts with it that really inspires me and just really hits me in the gut and really connects me to the other families. Pendleton says dedes photos capture a moment in history. They show people still celebrating life, despite living within four walls. Look at kate. That is such a talent. That is taking an artistic eye and really being creative with it. I love what shes doing. You know who else is really good at that . Who is that . Wayne friedman. Hes a great photographer.
