A workaholic without her work

/ Tess Ware / Leave a comment
Tammy Ware and her husband Jim take a walk through the woods behind their house as a way of getting out during the Covid-19 quarantine. Monday, March 23 in Highland, Mich.
Tammy is the co-owner of Essential Massage and Wellness Center and is cancelling all of her appointments scheduled through April 15 because of Gov. Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, which shut down all non-essential businesses. “It feels really bad to cancel my clients because of this, really bad.”
Tammy goes to her empty office to water her plants after learning she would not be returning to work until April 15.
Tammy’s empty massage room has clean sheets and is ready to be used again.

Comfort in Quarantine

For this assignment I photographed my dad, Jim Ware. It was difficult to find a window with good lighting that didn’t have a background, my parents have a lot of things on their walls. So I decided to go with the background that best showed his personality. This is their library where I have been doing all of my work. It’s peaceful and calm and was entirely decorated by my dad, who says this is his favorite room in the house.
