August is here and yet isolation remains. This photo and artist statement project known as “Isolation Drills” continues to bring me within a socially-distanced proximity of Philadelphia-area musicians. These brilliant artists have spoken about what it means to be a musician right now during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among published #s 71-80 are Mighty Joe Castro, St. Clair Simmons, Christopher Davis-Shannon, Eliza Hardy Jones, Adam Shumski, Scantron, Ghösh, Gladie, Hezekiah Jones and Ruby the Hatchet.  I snap the portraits while the words are directly from the artists. 80 have been published so far on the way to 110+. Visit my page on my website here to see a gallery and visit MAGNET Magazine here to read each one here.
