Please email photos to be added to this gallery, with caption information, to editor@newcanaanite.com.
We will continuously update the community photo gallery above through the COVID-19 emergency.
Regarding submissions, please send candid photos only—sights and scenes from around New Canaan that capture what’s happening here through the public health emergency.
Though we will add photos that are taken inside homes or at private gatherings, please keep in mind that we should have the permission of those photographed in those cases and that we are not seeking staged “set pieces.” The photo gallery also should not be viewed as an opportunity to promote the efforts of any specific business or to signal the virtue of any individual, local organization or grassroots effort (we are happy to share such photos in our weekly “Did You Hear” feature). We also are not seeking art—please submit color photos only, horizontally oriented.
Sad, but Smart.
Great idea, Mike! The NY Historical Society is collecting ephemera of the Covid 19 experience. See news story excerpt & link to NYHS C-19 Collection page below. Perhaps our historical society will do so too & include the photos you collect!
“…..The New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) has launched an open call for the donation of objects, photographs, digital documents and other ephemera that document the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic as part of its long-standing initiative to preserve pivotal moments in the history of the city….”
