Throughout the coronaviruspandemic, IndyStar hasdocumented the heroism of essential workers risking their wellness on the front lines of healthcare facilities, community centers and grocery stores.

But how does onedepict the impact of those who aresimply staying home?

As spring arrivedand thepandemic ragedon, front porches everywherebecame a responsible place to seek fresh air and a bit of distancedsocial interaction.

The front porch is a study spot, a selfie studio, a home gym anda lookout place forfamiliar faces as evening settles.

I took my camera out on warm evenings to photograph everyday people on the porch with their loved ones, an ode to the heroism of staying home.
