After nearly a year, it's easy to forget how suddenly the COVID-19 pandemic upended our lives. But looking back through the photos on our phones can show just how quickly everything changed.
The ask is simple: Send us your last photo of "normal life" in 2020 and your first pandemic photo. And tell us a little about what was going on inside your head at the time. We'll compile these photos into a video that tells the story of that big moment of realization: the pandemic is happening and it's happening to me. We plan to followup with a few of you to record short interviews of your exceptional stories.
