I took this image as I sat outside in our car while my husband who is immunosuppressed/high risk health due to heart/double lung & kidney transplants was inside an urgent care because he was sick (late that night we found out he had covid). In an effort to not miss a day of my 365 on film I brought my film and digital cameras. As I sat anxiously waiting in the car for over 2 hours I tried to keep looking for light and capture some of the light I saw. Doing this helped me to cope in a very scary situation when my anxiety level was extremely high and I had to be able to function since my husband was sick. This was my view looking into the rear view mirror—seeing the golden sunset light behind me in the mirror and seeing the contrast of also looking forward at the urgent care building my husband was inside the the darker blue look which was even more pronounced due to looking through the car windshield. These images take me back to this day this past August and I’m thankful God gave me the ability to help myself cope in this way—by looking for light and trying to capture it.
I decided to share some of the photos and writing I’ve shared over on my Flickr account. If you’re interested in seeing more of those images you can check them out here.
