In the third episode of our "Photography, the Pandemic and Resiliency" series, Melina Coogan talks to Rebecca Weston about the ways in which she uses the camera's "third eye" to create memories and capacity for her young daughter in anticipation of future climate-related loss, the role narrative plays in surviving traumatic events, the complicated and not always easy process of working, co-parenting and adjusting to new routines at home and how to create a sense of safety in a rudderless world with few timelines or reliable guideposts.

Melina Coogan is a full-time Documentary Family Photographer and instructor. She lives with her husband Dave, a middle school Spanish teacher, their toddler Olive, three ducks and one corgi in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC. Her interests include sea chanties and campaigning to end gerrymandering. You can see more of her work by visiting www.wildandbrightphotography.com and on Instagram @wildandbrightphotography

Rebecca B. Weston is a photographer and clinical social worker, living in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York - a suburb of New York City. She has had work published in curated, collaborative Street Photography Books and has exhibited both in solo and curated group shows. She is also the founder of the Facebook group, Photographers Under Confinement: Engaging Corona Around the World.

The aim of this project is to explore the ways in which specific photographers have used photography and image making to express their feelings about and individual experiences of the pandemic, to connect and be seen in their isolation by others around the world, to honor their shared humanity and to preserve their own mental health.
