What Zoom And Photography Have In Common by @BarbaraDelinsky #Zoom #video #COVID19

Have you ever looked at a family photo, really looked at it, and wondered why various members pose the way they do – where they stand vis à vis the group, whether their arms are around others’ shoulders or around themselves, whether their heads are inclined toward their kin or away?

Mask Fun

Mask Fun by @barbaradelinsky #mask #masks #fun #COVID19 #COVID

Please. No bickering about the title of this blog. We all know that COVID-19 is nothing to laugh about, not with so much illness and death.

The Truth About Why I Don't Own a Gun by @BarbaraDelinsky, Guns, Government
