During the early days of quarantine, friends Kristen Collins and Cara Soulia began photographing their Needham, Mass., community to foster connection and collect donations for small businesses. The project spread across the country, raising over $3.35 million and inspiring a photo book, out late November. * <b>People magazine</b> * Send Joy During a Stressful Year With a Holiday Card: For Ms. Staten, that meant purchasing red masks (she hot-glued white fuzzy Santa trim to her husband's) and enlisting a local photographer to capture her family of five from 10 feet away. Even that style of portraiture is a cultural outcrop of the pandemic: The photographer, Rachna Agrawal, first photographed the Statens for the Front Steps Project, for which photographers around the world captured socially distanced images of families as a way to raise funds for local nonprofits and small businesses. * <b>New York Times</b> *
