Workers of Worcester is a documentary photography series of portraits and interviews of frontline workers to honor the humanity of those who risk their lives and provide a space for their voices to be heard.
"Basement"
"My wife is definitely anxious about the fact that I'm working on the frontlines and is constantly checking in— she is concerned about her safety and me getting this disease..."
"Typically I go home and I stay in the basement area of the household, and try to socially distant myself from my children and my wife who are at home primarily during this. So whenever I am leaving the basement to do things like go to the bathroom and take a shower, I'm wearing a mask and washing my hands regularly, and not seeing my parents and parents-in-law that I would typically see on a regular basis."
