Six digital photographs taken by Carlee Dunn, William & Mary undergraduate, Biology major, and member of the class of 2023. Dunn took these photos around her hometown, Monroe, New Jersey, on April 8, 2020.

Dunn: “These photos were taken on Wednesday, April 8th, 2020 while I was driving around my hometown of Monroe, NJ. This date was close to the predicted height of coronavirus cases in my area. Each photo contains some sort of inspirational or meaningful sign I saw during my drive, and it meant so much to me to find people spreading so much hope in the middle of a crisis. The photo of the chalk rainbow was drawn on the side of a strip mall that faces a busy road. The 'Thank you essential workers' sign was a sign my neighbors put on their front lawn, visible from the main road near my house. The 'Be safe, stay healthy' sign was in front of a Walgreens pharmacy. The 'Yes, it's hard' sign was on the front lawn of someone's house, once again able to be seen from a main road. 'This too shall pass' was in front of an auto repair shop. The chalk sidewalk drawings, though somewhat hard to see in that photo, are drawings I did myself in front of my house.”

Series includes a photograph of Dunn that was attached with the submission.
