PHOTO: The Front Step Project

A SNAPSHOT IN TIME was captured by local photographer Samantha Watson of dozens of North Reading families simply gathered on the front steps of their homes last weekend, such as this photo of Chris and Renee Deming and their daughter Meredith. Taken with a telephoto lens to maintain proper social distancing, Watson’s only “fee” was a pledge by each family to make a donation to the North Reading Food Pantry’s gofundme page. The photos have been posted to social media. (Samantha Watson Photography)
