There are faces you see often or every day that you recognize but never know. It’s comforting to see familiar faces. Gretchen’s face was familiar to me, logged in the memory banks as joyful and always laughing. In this time of social distancing, quarantine, and isolation, it’s hard to come across those familiar faces that subtly bring comfort to your days. Reminders that you are surrounded by a community. It was nice to finally put a name to the face and meet her family. They are a footwear optional family due to childhoods spent on sandy beaches. They pose effortlessly and stare me down with their piercing eyes. It’s hard to see in the photo, but everyone has striking light-colored eyes. The family has a calm feeling to them and you’re left with a sense that they are very close-knit. Maybe it was just for the camera, but I was left wondering if the bothers and sisters fight with each other?
