Another one - my 48 year old Martin D12-35

Martin 12-35-1.jpg
 
One of the performances of a Concert Schedule sponsored as an annual program of a local church. It is free to the public. As a member of our local camera club that supports the activity, we are given free access thoughout the church, including the back entries to the alter, mingling with the performers as they warm up in the back rooms, the two reserve chairs in the aisle on row 2 and 3, and of course, the choir loft. With some orchestras (philharmonic - violinist/sheet music - posted above) must have silent shutter during performance, and if occupying aisle chair remain for entire performance.

Pre-pandemic I hope? This looks like a super-spreader if not. Yikes...
 
Sorry, I just find it disturbing how so many religions are ignorant of their roles in spreading Covid. It's tragic.
Yes, they suspended it in 2021 and just now beginning to bring back with smaller performances, like the nearby University brass ensemble or string quartet. Seating is spread out. I don't happen to attend that church, so I don't know what their Sunday service looks like.

In terms of the local photo club we also had nowhere to meet as the provided city facilities were closed, and our field trips were essentially cancelled. Had Zoom meetings. Field trip events restarting but outside where can keep separation. I haven't gone to any in over a year, which feels weird. Most recent was at a local zoo night experience with a Chinese Lights display. Tempting, but just wasn't up to it. Most of my declines over the past 2 years was due to my bicycle accident in 2020, deferred surgery until 11/2021. Fully recovered now with appointment 1/14 medically giving me the "all clear", but not pushing it. I just keep active by going out and doing things solo (or with wife).
