My name is Lena and I'm 14 years old. I like to play soccer and I'm very interested in music. In this photo series I'm showing how my life looks like during a pandemic as we are experiencing it right now. I like photography because I think the fact that one photo can say more than thousands of words. I'm mostly interested in landscape photos or portraits. I also like to just go for a walk and take soe photos of the nature... The photos in this photo series are showing my life during the pandemic. I chose these photos because they are reflecting well what I do during these times.

For almost a year now, Corona has been playing a major role in all our lives.
For some people, it was and still is really hard to even earn enough money to pay the rent, and for others, it’s only a small restriction in life but I think we can all agree on wanting the pandemic to end.

For me, since I’m a teenager, Corona doesn’t affect my life as much as it does for others but still, my life has changed quite a bit. I used to go out with friends and my family and do sports outside but now, the only way to get some fresh air is by walking my dog or going grocery shopping.

My name is Alicia, I’m a student from southern Germany and I want to show you more, what has changed in my life because of the global pandemic through a photo series I created.
I tried to include many details in my pictures, that you can’t catch at first sight. Hopefully, this makes my photo gallery more interesting and also instructive.
Normally, I take pictures of sunsets, but I also love taking pictures of my friends and family, to capture the moment and to keep it as a memory on my phone.
What I also love about photography is that you can't say such thing as "boring" or "not interesting" to a picture because in my opinion, every picture is special in its own way.

caption + story behind the picture (2-3 sentences, e.g. Deserted Forest Path. This photo was taken on a hiking trail near my house. Hiking allows me to step away from a busy life and enjoy nature with people I love. This photo captures the beauty in a moment of solitude and reflection.)

Life during a pandemic   Hello, my name is Lea and I am a student at the LMG. I've always enjoyed taking photos, but since last year I've taken more photos. During the time of the first lockdown, I took a few trips with my family, e.g. an abandoned closter. It was a great place to take photos.

Photography allows me to capture a moment and share something that the others cannot see. And I can tell a story with every picture I take.

I always take photos by "accident". I go around and take photos, then I look at them and figure out what I can do better and try a few more things until I get the "perfect" picture.

Living with pandemics- probably hard to imagine for the next generations. They will probably wonder how it was during quarantine, homeschooling, as much as we do with war. Well, the intention behind my small photo series is to, in the future, not let people forget about these times, but also to communicate to the new generations to come about the moments we all went through. Many people today struggle with money since the jobs are decreasing and tons of people are dying. You see people who had enormous losses in their families or parents who are now jobless and don't know how to provide for their children anymore. Or even the doctors who work entire days and give their best to save as many people as possible. That's the reality every one of us got to know in the last two years. What I want to do, is to tell you something about how my life changed, how all of my days started to become the same. I'm a teenager, so my problems do not revolve around money. What I'm struggling with right now is social life for the most. Of course, some people still go out and have fun, but there are not many. Most, like me, respectfully choose to stay home, safe. And that is what I tried to portray. My photo gallery shows for the most the absence of life and colors in the city.

Deserted playground
This photo was taken at a playground during my walk. The situation caught my eye, since this playground was always full of children, as long as I can remember.

Hello I´m Laurin and I´m 14 years old. I live in a small village which is called Berghausen. In my freetime I play soccer, meet with friends and listen to or make music.

I´m interested in photography because I like that pictures sometimes can speak more than 1000 words if you look at them carefully.

The main topic of my series is “life during a pandemic”. I want to focus on the subtopic “closed places”.

My intention is to show places in my village which are normally always crowded. As you can see in my photos, now nobody is there or the places are even closed. Sometimes it feels like we live in a ghosttown at the moment.

I decided to take photos for my series in which there are no people on it because these days nearly everybody stays at home to try to end the pandemic as fast as we can. Also I chose to have no bright colours in my photos because it shows that at the moment the time is very sad.

I think one of the things that helps me keep going in the most is my family and my cat. Whenever i spend a long time looking at my screen, she comes and lays on top of the keyboard, just like in the picture to kind of remind me to also look away for a second and don't stress to much about temporary problems.

I wanted to capture this shot, because i think that these 3 objects are essential in our everyday life. Keys, Mask and for me my asthma spray. Without these 3 things i can not go anywhere and i just wanted to kind of bring out, how our daily  subjects that we carry with us for a long time, have changed and added a new member ( the mask), to our daily must haves, that we carry with us.

Hi guys, my name is Yazan Alhakim im nearly 16 and got a lot of hobbys that i used to do but in the moment are disabled causing the corona virus. I wanted to make a Photo series about how the life changed and how it looks like, how thing was in the past and how they are now, and how we could fit with all the rules that kept us save from Covid-19. So that’s whats going in my Photo series different angles from many pictures and a lot of things that will surprise you and will let you be interested in my series. I didn’t build any things on the stuffs that are in the picture I just shoot it how it my family normally placed it. Since we talking about my Family, I toke pictures how my father is doing his typical day and of my mothers too. I know it’s nothing special but I wanna show people how simple things become nice and very wonderful for ourselves, we spend too much times with each other, no one interrupted us like friends, the grand family etc… just us!

My Name is Maxime, and I`m a student based in Karlsruhe. I love Photography because you can show different feelings and emotions of people and also the beautiful nature.

Photography enabels me to tell a story or capture a wonderful momet in my life. I really enjoy Photography, because then I can forget everything then. I decided to photograph one of my grandparents because I haven't seen them for a long time and I wanted to give them a little joy. I have a very good relationship with my grandparents, normally I would see them every Friday, but because of the Corona virus that is no longer possible.

With my series of pictures, I wanted to show the distance between people in the Life during the Pandemic. There is always a window in between, because we have to keep a distance. My grandfather was very happy when he finally saw me again after 2 weeks. They don't have anyone to visit them at this difficult time, so I thought I'd do a little photo shoot with them. I chose the eyelevel shot because I wanted to show the emotions of my grandparents. I have processed the pictures very darkly because they are very lonely and I want to show the loneliness and sadness during this time.  I think the photos fit in very well with our everyday lives. Please continue to keep your distance and wear your masks so that life becomes a little more normal again and we can see each other without masks and a pane of glass between us.

My name is Katharina and I did a little photo series named life during pandemic with photos inspired by the boring times and sitting at home.
I like to play with light but keep the pictures simple and chilled. I also like to take asthetic pictures for example with plants or monotonous things that are easy tu understand.
My pictures are colorful but also simple and I chose them because I think they show a good mixture of all my hobbies for example chilling, studing and playing with friends in social distancing.
The colors of my pictures are natural and LED because I thik both give beautiful atmosphere.

Hello I´m Björn and I am 14 years old. I live in Germany near Karlsruhe. In my free time I like to play e-guitar. I like the e-guitar because another hobby is listening to rock or metal music. My favourite activity is gymnastics. Without the lockdown, I would do gymnastics 4-5 times a week.I find nature photography very beautiful. And I think you can´t describe nature with words very well, but I think a picture tells more than 1000 words. But the best thing about nature photography is that it makes you want to travel and you feel happy when you visit a beautiful place again. My photo series is about life during a pandemonic and how the activities have changed.  In my photos you see a person without a face who do different activities for example playing e-guitar, doing homework and doing sport. The person has no face, because I want to generalise the person. I chose very happy and colourful colours, because I want to show the happy things during a pandemonic. Another creative choice I made is that in every picture the person is on the left side so that the people who look at the photos have something to orientate. There is a computer in every picture because during corona all activities run through it. The last choice I made is that all activities are made inside the house because of that all pictures were made inside my room.

For many owners of little shops the pandemic is ver hard. They have to close their shops and can´t earn money. As you can see the shutters are down and the door is closed.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the first lockdown one thing i always loved, was looking outside the window and think about everything i want to do the same day, or accomplish in the near future. This habit has become essential for me. When i for example am overwhelmed with my school work or fear about my future, how it might go or look like, i take a break and let my thoughts play in my head, while i look out the view my window offers me. That honestly helped me a lot to cope better with my thoughts and accept the current situation as it is, and trying to make the best out of it.

My name is Carolin Westphal I am 15 years old and come from Berghausen. My hobby is gymnastics and I’m very interested in photography and do a lot of creative projects in my free time. I am not only active as a recreational photographer but also in drawing and painting.

I personally find the background story of the pictures very interesting and important, because you can’t understand everything only from the pictures so you need a text to know what the instructor wants to say with his pictures.

I'm interested in city photography but I also like to take pictures of the nature. These two different places show a great contrast from  two perspectives of photography.

My photo series is about life in Corona pandemic, what has changed and where we are currently restricted. I want to show with my pictures what this pandemic has done to our lives and what impact it has.

The pictures show a large, empty department store with closed shops. I chose this because I think that this department store illustrates well that everyday life isn't normal as it once was, because you can no longer do anything special outside and erverything changed.

I have chosen many different perspectives and recorded something that could be anywhere. The pictures illustrate well the feelings that currently prevails in many people. The loneliness and emptiness stands out in the pictures, because there are no people and ist looks abandoned. It also shows that you can no longer do anything with friends or your family. In addition, I have always chosen the same place, which creates a context between the images.

So i know that i already took a picture of my computer, but to me this is a complete different perspective. Because even when i turn my online conferences off, my assignments for the day still go on. And this picture shows also in addition, the screen we have to look in everyday, and how when it is turned off, it's just a screen that has dominated our lives since over a year. We can not work without this screen, or do our assignments, nor have a part of the work life in general without it. It is essential to our life now.

Introductory: My name is Emilia. I‘m not a professional photograher, but anyway I love photographing. Most of the time I take photos spontaniously. Especially, when I‘m going for a walk with my dogs. I let me inspire by the beautiful landscapes and eye catches. Often my dogs are my models, also if they aren‘t always so easy to postion. I love playing with the light to determine the focus. I think it‘s really interesting to use special perspectives. In the following photographes I want to show my supports in the pandemic. For all people it‘s hard to stay strong, but there are a lot of things, which make it much easier. Maybe I can inspire you and you get some ideas to try.

Disconnect to Reconnect : A little quote that i like to use in my daily life, and that i think fits to the topic. 

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever i feel like I am overwhelmed with all the work and my thoughts, i like to disconnect for a second and take a break for as long as i need, in order to continue being productive. Because from my point of view, if you don't disconnect from everything for a second when you need it, and order your thoughts and priorities, you will never be able to achieve the productivity that you strive for. A stressed and overwhelmed mind cannot work like it desires to.  And with this quote i just want to remind everyone of my classmates and teachers to turn off their working minds for a second when everything gets to much, and you lose track. It is necessary to take a break and disconnect, in order to reconnect to your desired abilities.
Keep in mind it is all temporary and we will get trough this!

My name is Frida, I´m a student and I´m 14 years old.

I´ve always been interested in photography but I´ve never really done it. So this school project is one of my first serious engagements with photography. But on holidays or special experiences with my friends, I have always had great fun capturing the views or moments. And that´s what I like most about photography that you can capture moments.

This series of photos is about life in the Corona Pandemic or more specifically what cities look like during the pandemic. I picked this topic because the city is where I notice the biggest difference from before the pandemic. Usually, espacially in the city, there is a lot going on and there are many people but now it´s just all gone. While doing the photos
I of course also made a lot of creative choices for example, what colors set the right mood that fits the current situation.The light was also important for that.

Everyone knows that we can't practice our hobbies like we used to do but that doesn't stop us. Everyone got a huge brain that can Imagines a way to find a solution. Like my father found a way how to keep his body in form and you can do it too.

Hello, my name is Tarek Naimi and I like video games and what influence social media has in my entire life. I like to capture one special moment that is going to be unique or funny when it comes to a certain context. My photo series is about ativities I do during my pandemic day. I want to show them especially because I want to show the uninteresting, never changing life during pandemic.I didn‘t really used that much creativity or lost thoughts. I just took a picture of the things I do and I dont want to show them in any other way than my own perspective as the camera. Except for one where I used a angle which made it look bigger. In this picture you can see some stacked schoolbooks. I took this photo in a close angle to make the books look bigger and the following learning session longer. I also took the picture in the evening because that's when I most likely learn and it makes me focus more on the books because everything is dark and that should show the irrelevancy of other things on that exact moment.

I´m Philipp and I´m 14 years old. I´m the guy in the picture and the choice which pictures I would finally take was difficult. The part of photography that I like the most is about landscape with with some different angles. My photo series isn´t about that but I think that this fits the best about a pandemic. I thought my typical homeschooling day is the best way to show how the pandemic is for me. My pictures show different aspects of my life, some good ones and some bad ones. Most of the pictures I wanted to give a clean look at the picture. In 1 picture the one with the monitor, there I thought it would look pretty cool to put the focus on the keyboard so the rest is a little bit blurry. I chose all of these pictures because I think the show what I do every day and what is important to me during this hard pandemic.

I would say it is very weird to wake up every morning and just stay at home.My intention was to show everybody who it is to stay at home the hole day. The first picture shows nothing different to other days. I´m just sleeping like every other night. The second picture grabs my attention because you can see me aswell at the same spot, but in this scene i´m working for school. I wanted to represent that because of corona your stuck in your room and can´t get out. With mobile photography can I capture the unsual life. It is very simple and it includes everything. In the last picture you can see me playing videogames with friends, eating something and watching Films. What you can see now is that I am in my bed all the time. In real life it is not like in the picture, but i wanted to show you that during this pandemic, you haven´t that much Possibilities to create your day. Hopefully this will all change and we will be able to go back to school some day.

That’s mainly nature, because I love nature so much and enjoy the beauty of it as much as I can. I’m also super interested in animals, especially in my dog and my cat. As well as from the sky and the structure of the clouds and the light which is shining through them. I created a photograph series to show you guys what I love to do in my free time in the pandemic and inspire you to go out to the nature and enjoy this beautiful planet. I choose these pictures because I want you to show you what is important to me and what helps me in this time. I just photograph what I see in these moments and try to show this in the final pictures.

My name is Lea Bohmüller. I‘m 15 years old and I live in Jöhlingen. I go to school in Berghausen. In my free time I play a lot of tennis, I do gymnastics and I like to take pictures. I began appreciating photography when travelling through the Black Forest. My family lives there, so I spend a lot of time in the impressive landscape of the Black Forest. I‘m inspired every time by its nature and want to capture every place I encounter. Photography gives you the opportunity to capture every moment and every experience. That's how you can collect memories. I think that the ordinary things are often the greatest adventures in life and with the photography you can make them unique and unforgettable. When you try to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and take pictures of common and mundane things, you often get the most meaningful and interesting photos. I love taking photos because it allows me to show others the world as I see it, from my perspective. I like to photograph breathtaking nature, because it shows the naturalness of our life. It’s important that photographs shouldn’t be posed. Photography enables me to tell a story to communicate a mood or a feeling. I don't plan my pictures and I don‘t wait for inspiration, I just start, because then the best ideas come to my mind. After all, you can't plan or control life. Photography has told me to be more aware of my surroundings. The special thing about photography is that everyone interprets the photo differently and thinks of a different background story. My photo series is about the pandemic. It influences the life of everyone in this world and everyone deals with it differently. The pandemic is like an invisible enemy. The distance rules have especially changed our lives and bring bad consequences for our society and that is what my photos should show. I think that people are getting lonelier. For me it’s hard to not be able to see my family and to not know when I can hold them in my arms again. It's especially hard for old people, for example my grandma has to take care of my grandpa alone at the moment and she has no one to talk to. It‘s also bad for young children not to be able to meet their friends. Psychologists say that this could result in social skills disorders. In addition, any psychological problems are a result of lack of contact. That‘s why the number of suicides has grown enormously. Many people feel very lonely at the moment. Touching someone, having important people close to you and being hugged by them in such a difficult time makes many feel safe and good. But at the moment, people are not even allowed to shake hands. The distance rules make you feel sick even if you are not infected with corona. That's why I chose this subject for my photos. When taking the photos, I have made some creative choices. For example, I played with the light to set the focus in the picture. Moreover, for me light is a symbol of hope. This also underlines what I want to show with my photos. When taking the photos, I also paid attention to the colours. In lots of my pictures you can find the colour red, because for me it‘s a very meaningful warning colour. Also the angle and the perspective are very important for me. I often take a picture from different positions and decide at the end which perspective is best and most interesting. I’m always fascinated that a small change of angle can change the whole picture. I always consider colour composition and where the eye goes. I think that you have to take a lot of bad photos in order to take the good ones. I focus on the series not on the individual pics to tell a story. With this photo series I want to illustrate different points of view of a topic. On the one hand the fear of loneliness and on the other hand the hope for normality.

Hello, my name is Robin Mader and i live in Karlsruhe. I‘m 15 years old and a student at the LMG. I did a little photo series. The name of my photo series is „empty places in the pandamic“ and the photos are a typical example of the boring times at home. I took photos from objects with many details, because in my opinion the details are the most exciting in the picture. The places in my pictures are all in my city and not far away from me. I decided to take my photos only from objekts because this symbolises the streets in the pandemic. Everybody stays at home and there is no one on the street.

My name is Manja and since corona my life has changed a lot in different ways. The two biggest points are homeschooling and my freetime. Homeschooling has a very big impact on me. I have a lot of new responcibilities, which I haden’t had before. In my freetime I don’t do gymnastics anymore. Sometimes I go for a walk to clear my head. Since I don’t really see my friends often in this time my freetime has changed a lot, for example I read a lot more.

I decided to keep these experiences in photos, because this is a very important part of my life, which has changed. I want to show other people, that it’s not that bad to stay at home for a while, because there are a lot of things, that you can do. Your responcibilities grow and photography helps me to get through this time.

In my photos I show the changes, that happened in corona and how I am handling them. It’s not only about my freetime, but also about homeschooling. I think it really shows, what is important to you, what you miss and what you might change after corona.

In my photos I especially consider the light, because that’s what photography is all about. Whithout light you couldn’t create amazing pictures. The background in my photos is not that important to me. The main message is not in the back, but the front. I try out different perspectives, so that I have more freedom and more choices.

No possibility to eat in the department store

I took these pictures in the Durlacher Tor in Karlsruhe. This picture clearly shows that you can not even sit relaxed with friends in a cafe or you can't simply go to a restaurant to eat. It shows in my eyes that the most normal things no longer belong to our everyday life today.

My name is Katie and about a year ago I started getting interested in politics and how different people live different lives. I decided that I wanted to do something to show how I feel about certain topics. When Covid-19 first started affecting our daily lives, I became interested in the way normal life changed. There were (and still are) huge impacts on social life, and the way we started to perceive things. Now, if we look at, say, a toilet roll, we get a completely different image to what we had before.

For me, photography is always about people. If I take pictures of anything, I tend to think of how other people will see that picture. I also want to show other people what I was thinking of when I take pictures. I want to entertain people and yet also show them serious aspects of life, in this case the pandemic. This is the kind of thing that interests me: people. I´m really interested in how people act and especially why they act in the way they do, and so when people look at my pictures, I not only want to show them what I felt but also let them experience what kind of image they conjure up when they see certain things. I think photography is something very powerful. Personally, I am more into music than photography, but I think that both aspects can change things. Music can conjure up feelings just as much as one single picture.

My photo series is about how daily life has changed because of the pandemic. As I mentioned earlier, we now see things completely differently to how we did before. I also want to show people the way we feel during this pandemic. Some people don´t seem very affected, while others are really influenced by it. I feel so sorry for these people and I wanted to show people to be grateful for what they´ve got, because other people out there could be struggling a whole lot more. I think that everybody will be able to relate to some pictures I have taken. Maybe some people will even grin when they see my picture of the toilet rolls!

My photos show people struggling with life during this crisis. They also show simple things that now seem so normal to us, like face masks. I wanted my photo series to show the struggle of this pandemic, but also the typical things that might want to make you grin when you see them. I don´t want people to think that I´m overly pessimistic about this pandemic. I want to be a kind of realistic person but I´m also an optimist. I want people to think about my pictures and to realise that there is also hope and that we don´t have to perceive everything as being sad and depressing. I think that especially now you have to be grateful for the small things, you have to keep dreaming and laugh along the way. This is what I wanted to show in my pictures.

When it comes to technical choices, I´m not really that gifted! Normally I just take pictures the way I see them. Of course, I also think about the light but otherwise, for example with the colours, I don´t really think that much. Most of the time I´m not in a particularly arty mood. I just take pictures of the way I see things instead of trying to change them too much. I do like to experiment with angles and perspectives, but in this series, I wanted to show feelings and get people to think, so I wasn´t taking pictures purely for arty reasons.

I took this picture when I was walking with my little brother. We went to a playground that is usually very crowded but now during the pandemic it is empty.

The closed stores have become everyday life at the moment, that you can't go shopping with friends or just go to the city and meet people. It has become normality that everything is different, just being at home and not doing much else is normal.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture shows that also if you‘re walking around in the city, almost all streets are pretty empty.

Introduction: Hey, I start this photo series in time of Covid-19, because I want to capture the special moments in the life with a pandemic. I want to remind the people of this time, and want them to appreciate and exploit the energy they have. Mabe corona showed us how well we are usually and teach us to enjoy what we have. I'm interested in photography because a picture can show so much more than just a person or a landscape. In my opinion you are able to tell a whole story with pictures and help people to see a situation from a different point of view

we also have to be home at 8 pm

This is the picture of the toilet rolls. We all know that we´ll think of the same thing, but maybe feel differently about it. Some people might laugh while others feel really down.

Corona doesn't only have negative impacts on me. During homeschooling I get to get up one hour later than usual.

or that all the clubs got closed so we had to play at home

The empty escalators,which would otherwise be crowded, illustrate that you shouldn't go out in the pandemic. It also shows the emptiness and loneliness that currently prevails not only in stores but also in many people.

Because of Corona there had to be new rules like the 1.5 distance to other people

Hey I'm Florian and I'm 15years old and I'm turning 16 soon (Febuar 17th). I'm doing this photography documentary for english class while being at home because of the current pandemic. I especially enjoy beautiful pictures which capture memories. But I also find pictures interesting which tell a story or keep e.g history alive or which have a spooky/scary tone attached to them. E.g liminal space (look it up if you are interested in it). My photo series is about the pandemic caused by the corona virus diseas and I wanted to portray the life of the people and how the pandemic affects them without showing them. I tried to have a great contrast in colour with the first picture. The other pictures should focus on a certain thing in the center.

This picture shows the kind of things that have become so familiar in daily life – masks. I think when people see this, they´ll all react differently. Some people might feel threatened, others upset, and others might just grin.

# data[].attributes.body
And like the new now obigatory FFP2 Masks

# data[].attributes.body
Here I changed the angle. I think that this picture shows the way lots of people feel – they feel small and alone, with only a closed door in front of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this picture because there has been a lot of new garbage since the pandemic: masks! They are lying around everywhere and most of the time they are not even in a trash can.

We all know, how important it is to get fresh air in the pandemic. So what is better than a wonderful walk? Of course not in a crowded place, rather in the forest or in the country. I believe that the people appreciate and pay attention to the nature. So I think that can be also an advantage of the pandemic.

This picture shows my sister looking out of her window. In this picture and the next picture, I wanted people to realise how other people are dealing with the pandemic. I think the way she´s looking out at the world just shows hope...

Online school is much harder than normal school. you don't have a school route but u must organize your self and ist often much more exhausting than normal school.

…while the picture underneath shows that she´s given up. She doesn´t have any hope and so I wanted those two pictures to show both sides of people during this crisis – those, who are optimistic about it, and those who can´t go on. I especially like the fact that in this picture you can see the rainbow, a symbol of hope, and then my sister, the complete opposite.

My schoolbag is only in my shelf, since I don't need it during homeschooling. All my books are in my shelf.

It‘s hard not to be allowed see your friends and the big family. Sometimes I feel really alone, but my dogs help me to stay happy and to have a little bit fun. Walking is one of the few activities that you can still do. They are also a great help during homeschooling. When you sit alone in your room in front of your laptop, you sometimes miss your classmates. That‘s why it‘s so nice to have a dog next to you.

Nature is very important to me. I enjoy its beauty so much and I‘am so thankful, that I can experience it. If you take attention you can see so many miracles, you cannot imagine at the moment.

My name is Helan and I'm a student at the Ludwig-Marum-Gymnasium. I like to capture moments in my life with a photo or just photograph things that catch my eye. I actually like to photograph everything, whether it's people, animals, nature, landscapes, food or cities.I also like to photograph different colurs and try different perspectives and angles or play with the light.
I'm often inspired by nature when I go for a walk or see a photograph by other photographers.
My photo series is about ,,Life during pandemic''.
My photo series, I wanted to show that almost everythinh has changed with the virus.I chose to take pictures in my photo series that show, how the masks have spread everywhere.

I‘ve always loved drawing and this is an actvity you can operate alone. Also tinkering is an creative activity. Especially during christmas time I was in „the tinkering flow“. It‘s a lot of fun and it‘s full of variation.

I struggle with organising myself and I have shown this in my photo. After each lesson I tend to clean my desk, but I can't keep it tidy.

The parking lot beside the school used to be full of the teacher's cars, now there wasn't even one to be seen. When I was standing in front of the parking lot, the colours caught my eye. I really like the composition and the two different shapes of red that you can see in the photo. But like the other two pictures of my photo series, I think this empty parking lot expresses in many ways, how life has changed..

# data[].attributes.body
A Building that used to be full of students and teachers is now empty, even in the mornings. A few days ago I went to the school to pick up a book for German class when I saw the canteen. It was a weird feeling so I tried to transfer it into a picture. You can see many things like the errors on the floor, the tables that are moved away from each other and so on.
These changes represent the measures that had to be taken when we still went to school to stop the corona Virus from spreading.

This picture is definitely one of my favorites. Like in the fsecond picture you can see many details that point out the pandemic. For example the markers on the flor that are reminding the people to keep their distance but also the signs in the foreground that were really hard to get on the picture because of the moving door. But the blurring makes this picture even more interesting in my opinion.

The house in the picture is the only one on a large building plot in Karlsruhe West. It looks like that the house has to keep the minimum distance from others, just like us.

If you walk on the streets you cant overlook the mask with are laying almost everywhere. Almost everybody hates them but they are one of the few ways to protect yourselves from Covid

Reading books always bored me, but now in the pandemic you can‘t travel and so it‘s a great activity to experience mmany exciting things in your own fantasy world. Awesome, isn‘t it?

This photo shows what I do in the afternoon. Since corona I started reading a lot more, because I don't have anything else to do.

In this picture you see me playing soccer alone at home.. I chose that photo because it expresses the "staying at home" very well because before Covid-19 I used to have soccer-training twice a week but now it's all at home. Playing soccer is a very important part of my life and it has been my hobby since almost 5 years.

In the pandemic you have more time than in the normal everyday life. So I have tried something new. One day I watched a YouTuber, who is an incredible drummer. So I was inspired and wanted to try it too. It was a lot of fun and it‘s wonderful to get rid of frustration. Now my plan is to take drum lessons after the pandemic. Until then I‘ll practice a little bit. ;-)

I think during corona I started to love books againg. When i was younger I used to so many books an now I think my passion is coming back. I like to read in our big wintergarden and just enjoy the outside while sitting on the warm chair.
