With a bit of apprehension of being seen by my roommates taking photos of odd things. I pushed through my fear, and took my time capturing the first image in this project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/6b129f23-71a0-4071-8421-899642ecbad8/20200318020817_IMG_0775.JPG 365 Day 4: Social Distancing, Photo 2 I used every last drop of this toothpaste. I realized I was low on toothpaste before I became apprehensive about going out into the world. On Saturday, March 14th, I ventured off to Dollar General and got a few personal care items, to prepare myself for what was to come. I vouched that this would be my last outdoor outing, as it wasn’t safe to be around other people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/22cd4388-cd05-46eb-9a66-d91f9a2f5a67/20200323013620_IMG_0886.JPG 365 Day 9: Social Distancing, Photo 7 As I sat, in my dark room on a gloomy day, the raindrops on my window caught my attention. This simple scene, looking back is full of emotional gravity. Yet at the time, I felt numb and kept away from news surrounding the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/552c1f33-a1c6-4411-aa61-e38ba3d0ed3d/20200322034634_IMG_0852.JPG 365 Day 11: Social Distancing, Photo 9 A little over a week into quarantine, I took this photo to represent the idea of being stuck inside. Although surrounded by bricks and uncertainty the sky was blue, and the white cloud to me looked like a butterfly. Despite what was happening around me, I captured hope and freedom within this image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/7c508251-558b-4941-9734-004d82ea3780/20200325052127_IMG_0919.JPG 365 Day 11: Social Distancing, Photo 9 Plants near an open window.

During this time, I was mainly confused by what was happening in the world. I also actively avoided the news. Some folks who attended these virtual services were doctors whom gave updates on the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/82153569-6a21-42ce-aea2-55140d61dbcc/20200401223901_IMG_1073.JPG 365 Day 19: Social Distancing, Photo 17 Early on during this photo project, I got creative with the way I captured my home environment. After-all it was all I had access to during shelter in place restrictions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/35ad86c3-7803-49ba-ba87-c2fd9209d084/20200330222904_IMG_1043.JPG 365 Day 18: Social Distancing, Photo 16 Breaking the can opener was a bit of a minor crisis, being that my roommates and I stocked up on canned goods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/c14f3dbe-886e-41d4-8e14-085fdd8668cc/20200406233542_IMG_1199.JPG 365 Day 24: Social Distancing, Photo 22 This towel kept me focused on my goal of staying in New York City. New York Forever. Little did I know, after six months of uncertainty, I decided to move home for greater emotional support and financial security. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/d93cf76b-6617-402d-8d81-29c6d33baa8f/20200412204014_IMG_1307.JPG 365 4/12/20 Day 30: Social Distancing, Photo 28 This Easter dinner was prepared by my roommate.

I often spent time, observing the world from my window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/b768e59f-70ba-42bb-9852-1470783fb61e/20200430104414_IMG_1685.JPG 365 Day 47: Social Distancing, Photo 45 Still life captured during my time social distancing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/c01c0bde-fd63-407d-8fb0-701540999165/20200426074729_IMG_1601.JPG 365 Day 43: Social Distancing, Photo 41 Waking up at 7am during the pandemic was a rare occasion that I had to document. At this point, I hadn’t needed to get up early because I wasn't working or commuting. My pre-pandemic job couldn't be performed virtually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/e2e5d2bf-5b2c-429a-a200-0a8e0813dad0/20200502_104630.jpg 365 Day 49: Social Distancing, Photo 47 After spending four consecutive weeks inside, prepping to go to the grocery store, felt like preparing for the first day of school. I took gloves and a scarf with me they served as personal protective equipment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/de734332-af35-43f6-b7b2-5edfb9342d69/20200513121506_IMG_1985.JPG 365 Day 60: Social Distancing, Photo 58 While cleaning up my room, I decided to "cheer up the place" by putting up cards from my family. These cards kept me encouraged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/d7ebfa9d-9f21-4c56-8cbb-04344565ddf1/20200503092425_IMG_1767.JPG 365 Day 50: Social Distancing, Photo 48 After a few minutes, I was able to capture this low angle shot of a plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/fcc3bb2f-c1bc-473e-9b98-05d0fa8147d6/20200610100014_IMG_2747.JPG 365 Day 88: Social Distancing, Photo 86 Still life captured during my time social distancing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/1914a600-4a33-4910-bb59-791a01f0d5f5/20200615_131133.jpg 365 Day 94 June/2020: Social Distancing, Photo 92 34th St. Herald Square In June I left my Queens apartment, to travel by subway to my Manhattan work place to take a COVID anti-body test. To my surprise, commuting looked a lot different. At that point I hadn’t ridden the subway in three months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/08937d60-be96-4b13-a6db-f9960ddbcee9/20200628081849_IMG_3097.JPG 365 Day 106 6/28/2020: Social Distancing, Photo 104 Visual cues that kept me going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/c8809fa7-0123-49cb-a61e-9f685f92da64/20200715071455_IMG_3468+%281%29.JPG 365 Day 123: Social Distancing, Photo 121 Early morning views of birds outside of my window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/a40bdf2e-73c8-44f4-b77f-8ae51a812362/20200711094344_IMG_3420.JPG 365 Day 119: Social Distancing, Photo 117 Masks were a necessary staple; these two were sent to me by my mom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/5255eb80-325d-4843-b023-7be464b640d5/1_Atkinson.JPG 365 Day 129: Social Distancing, Photo 127 A dove silhouette.

The one hundred dollar bill was folded by my brother to resemble the Empire State Building. The money was sent to me as a birthday gift from my brother and grandmother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/18c1e885-9324-421d-b6f7-63fd23f0a5e6/20200810093608_IMG_3802.JPG 365 Day 149: Social Distancing, Photo 147 Packing up my things to move from New York City to St. Louis. In the background the, “Keep Believing in You” card, served as a mocking reminder of my failure to stay in New York despite the pandemic. Now I see things differently, I still believe in myself, even while on a bit of a detour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/795b4130-9ee1-483b-ae75-5c8b53275992/20200815141342_IMG_3851.JPG 365 Day 154: Social Distancing, Photo 152 A visual representation of my location during the first six months of the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/9452c2ca-38cf-4486-b85d-92f2e5f4c25b/20200818114220_IMG_3869.JPG 365 Day 157: Social Distancing, Photo 155 On March 7th, as pictured.

With my family, in St. Louis with a lower population density, my brother and I often ran errands. In New York, I only made essential grocery store trips, every two weeks. Thus, I captured this photo while in a car, at a red light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/13fcd160-9f52-468b-a735-114489cd92e4/20201215_172035.jpg 365 Day 276: Social Distancing, Photo 274 'Tis the Social Distance Christmas.

In my new COVID bubble, I often visited my grandmother.

With space and time, growth can take place in unexpected places. While jobless during the first year of the Pandemic, in many ways I became a full time artist. I spent my time learning how to live a happier lifestyle, connecting with friends and family, reading, running, writing, dancing, coloring, acting, dating and capturing photos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/79309107-f8d6-4bfa-be2e-0c5dabf720ff/20210101_124033.jpg 365 Day 293: Social Distancing, Photo 291 Frosty plants, an icy end to 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/bb9a8249-b5d8-482f-8c09-3b0dc8c9de51/20210121_162520.jpg 365 Day 312: Social Distancing, Photo 310 Red curtains, blinds, light and shadow. Unlike earlier photos, in this series, of views outside of my Queens apartment, this image was captured from the home of my grandmother. Instead of being in one apartment 24-7, during the time this photo was captured, I split my time between two homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/85ca178b-6a6c-44c5-85d3-72e51c306c92/20210211_114207.jpg 365 Day 333: Social Distancing, Photo 331 A basement wall, I enjoyed the interesting coloring of the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/f5e8d5d0-ec2a-4506-9661-9504c5eee203/20210202_161315.jpg 365 Day 324: Social Distancing, Photo 322 Squares, shadows and a plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/7e3c8bdb-52c9-4245-9d5a-b256976fba35/20210213_140356.jpg 365 Day 335: Social Distancing, Photo 333 Winter in quarantine, Zig-Zags, footprints and snow. While I didn't travel far, this footprint serves as proof that, even under quarantine I ventured outside of my home, even if it was to visit family members whom were in my COVID bubble. As of July 2021, things are on the mend. This footprint represents a road to a future that at this moment is still unknown. When lockdowns started in March, I didn't expect to leave New York City.

This is my first view of Manhattan. Visiting New York City was also my first solo trip. Three months later, I moved to New York. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/21d58769-b9ad-4791-a53f-3fea7ed9e2bc/20180528_082248.jpg Work - Project 25 Before my first flight out of New York City, I took this selfie, to celebrate completing my first solo-trip.

Thus, I was successful; I obtained two part time jobs and two theatre opportunities. In that time frame, I also found an apartment. My New York City apartment was also my first apartment. I moved to New York, with a book bag, suitcase and camera. I later purchased an air mattress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/03d71b33-a3ba-40ee-9cab-901cc5a9f7cd/20181216_125744.jpg Work - Project 25 This photo was taken in December of 2018. I went to Times Square to take a photo of myself in-front of the numbers that get displayed throughout the year in Times Square. Thus, this became my New Year's tradition, along with writing my New Year's resolutions on confetti, which would be dropped during the New Year's celebration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1111e9baef70c89f71644/1630445173927-041MRNGMEL9LNMK0M9L3/20190509_182404.jpg Work - Project 25 In pink lipstick with a bantu knot out, I felt cute and decided to snap this selfie.
