Woody Myers, the University of Northern Colorado’s staff photographer, has captured
the new way of life for families in and around Greeley during the Colorado stay-at-home
order made due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“I grew up in Greeley and have a soft spot in my heart for this community,” Myers
said. “Having the opportunity to photograph some of the amazing people who are part
of this community over the past couple of weeks has been an absolute pleasure … from
a distance.”
Myers, who has worked as UNC’s photographer since 2001, uses a 200mm long lens in
order to safely capture the images from the street or sidewalk.
“It allows me to do what I truly love: capturing moments,” he said. “It thrills me
to see that people appreciate it, and these people can be seen by friends and loved-ones.”
