Devon Barthold Assignment 4

During my thought process for this assignment I decided I wanted to show how my family was affected by the virus. My family did not really want me photographing their faces so I decided to focus in on their hands. I chose to show their hands because I felt that was a way to show a big impact on my family but also keep their wish of me not photographing their faces. Originally I wanted to focus in on the impact of their hands at home, but instead I decided to show the impact of their hands at work. My family owns a business called American Ribbon, it is technically closed currently but we are doing curbside pickup and online orders. To fulfill these orders my family is going in throughout the week to cut and prepare the necessary items for making masks. Masks are very important right now and that is why I chose to focus in on our hands preparing these items.

In this image I focused in on my mothers hands tying off the elastic that she was hanking the elastic into 20 yard hanks!
For this image I focused in on my sisters packaging a few hanks of elastic for an online order.
For this image I wanted to show my sister closing up a package so that it would be ready for shipping.

Here are some extra images:

For this extra image I tried to show my sister hanking the elastic.
In this one my mother is making another hank.
