I’ve never had a problem with social distancing since I’ve always been naturally socially distant. As you know, my work revolves around people and the connections we share - whether or not you are in the same vicinity doesn’t matter.

I’m Karpov a Russian photographer currently living in Detroit. I had planned on being in the field for a nonprofit starting April 1st. Since COVID-19 hit, I cannot travel abroad so I did the next best thing, I looked up a few nonprofits in the area I could work with as a volunteer. I started with Forgotten Harvest in late March attending various outdoor food banks across Detroit and the metro areas.
