This is the second baptism I photographed since Covid began. When I arrived, the family wanted photographs outside the church as they were prepared to have their masks on during the ceremony inside. Once inside, the priest, a family friend who had married the parents and the grandparents, told everyone they would be safe to remove their masks as everyone had been tested negative. There were no other congregants in the entire church.
As I was leaving the baby’s father asked if I was related to a good friend of his in high school as it was the same unusual last name. It turned out he was good friends with my son. He did not recognize me with my mask and I did not recognize him since he become an adult!
