Becca Baker—Assignment 3

These images were taken at Walmart. I wanted to document the reactions of people due to the Corona Virus outbreak. I found it important to show the behavior of shoppers and the store overall. Many shelves were empty, on necessity items, there was a sign permitting limited shopping only. Surprisingly there was toliet paper stocked, however, you can only purchase a limited amount. I noticed a large amount of workers restocking shelves and overall more workers on the floor. In the first image, you can see a woman is even wearing a mask.
These images were taken at a nearby town, fifteen minutes from my house. This main street is normally extremely busy its so hard to find a spot on the road. The street it lined with different shops, boutiques, restaurants, but when I visited, everything was closed. I wanted to document how strange it was to see an empty street. The only car you see is my mother’s mini cooper in the one image. I found it necessary to document the closed signs, as every store had one. There were only a few stores open and only for limited hours. The only people I noticed outside were walking their dog.
