Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Ben Schumin is a professional photographer who captures the intricacies of daily life.

A water fountain on the Rockville campus of Montgomery College, where the fountain head has been locked out with a red cover, ostensibly to prevent the spread of COVID-19, quite a number of months after most pandemic-era interventions to prevent the spread of disease had been discontinued.
