I was grateful to start having some assignments again beginning late June. It's been a long layoff. It's crazy how you lose a little bit of that muscle memory so fast. The camera is an extension of my arm and not having used it regularly. I needed a little warm-up time to get going.

At the beginning of this month, I had the assignment to cover two dental offices. The goal was to photograph how they're adapting with the new COVID compliance, as well as what clients can expect when going to the dentist.

The first office I visited was Wallace J Bellamy DMD in Elk Grove, then Dr. Stephanie Sandretti, DDS, in Roseville.

I was very impressed with both offices and the lengths they are going through to keep their clients and staff safe. I was amazed to learn that they were already doing things pre-pandemic that were in compliance now.
