Social Distancing as a Photographer

Unique times and a call for Social Distancing to help keep everyone healthy.

We are currently experiencing another epidemic turned pandemic around the globe. As a preventative means to help mitigate the spread of this COVID-19 Coronavirus, we have been asked to keep a safe distance from one another. How we all do this is a matter of choice and/or regulation. Social distancing in photography for me is what I usually practice – because I am, primarily, a landscape/seascape photographer.

Some of my best-selling works are of landmark bridges on Delmarva. That’s the “eastern shore” portions of Maryland and Virginia plus the State of Delaware. I live in southern Delaware so the bridge closest to our home (15 minutes) is also my favorite subject. I have some buyers who own both of these “bridges” and display them on the walls in their homes.

Likely one of the best-known bridges on the East Coast is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland.

Another (very) popular bridge is the Charles W. Cullen Bridge across the Indian River Inlet at the Delaware Seashore State Park in southern coastal Delaware. It is quite popular because it is located at a wonderful beach destination and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually.

At the very southern end of Delmarva is an engineering marvel known as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The 17.6 mile bridge-tunnel crosses the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, connecting Cape Charles with Virginia Beach, Virginia.

When out and about photographing these, and similar, locations I am usually alone. There are seldom people near me when I find “the right” locations from which to photograph some of my favorite landscape and seascape scenes. It appears that I have been practicing “Social Distancing” for much of my photography career. However, when there are other people about and it’s difficult to social distance, you’ll see me wearing a face mask to help keep us all safer.

Narrative on that page is:

“Local to the Delaware Seashore, Bill Swartwout is a landscape and outdoor photographer who also likes Mother Nature’s critters. He can often be found wandering around one of the zoos found near his home.

If you appreciate what can be found in nature (Bill does not photograph people), you may appreciate some of these personal check and address label designs. Among our favorites are the cute Prairie Dogs found at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore and the stately Flamingos in an awesome wildlife exhibit at the Salisbury Zoological Park, which is truly in a park-like setting.
