PhotoArts Guild Socially Distanced Photo Excursions
May 2020
Because of social distancing and bans on travel, PhotoArts Guild members can’t get together for photo excursions as we normally would. Instead, we collected images made during the COVID-19 lockdown into galleries of images made by our members as they distance themselves and continue to create photography in these trying times.
Each member’s excursion is presented as its own collection of photographs with descriptions. Latest submissions are on the top, older ones further down.
What started as a single gallery of images has been broken into three galleries by month.
