  3. Visions of the Not Normal: Jim Dedmon

The Biscuit and The Charlotte Ledger have partnered up to present our new photo series, “Visions of the Not Normal” — offering views of neighborhoods and communities across the city through the eyes (and lenses) of local photographers during the COVID-19 outbreak.

This week, photographer Jim Dedmon shares a walk through Matthews he took in early May. We’re well into Phase 2 now and more people are on the street, but with COVID-19 cases on the rise, we have to ask if this look back is also a look forward.
