Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

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

Sign requiring the use of face masks and social distancing at a closed food stand at Greenbrier Mall, a regional shopping center in Chesapeake, Virginia. This sign, posted on a plexiglass shield, is clearly a remnant of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had been over for more than two years at this point. Apparently, no one ever bothered to remove this sign after the business closed.
