Capturing the Smiles & Laughter underneath the Mask

During the COVID-19 outbreak, I was still living in Tokyo, away from my Family. As I took to the streets with my Camera, I was "aimlessly" and "randomly" snapping away to capture those fleeting moments appearing before my eyes. It was only with the passage of time, and after collecting "tons" of photos, did I realize that I was deliberating looking for and trying to capture those surreal moments, those brief moments of "light" admist the moments of darkness as we battle against the outbreak of COVID-19. Through these series of photos, I hope to provide a smile, provide a breather for those of us who are still struggling to regain normalcy in our lives.
