On Monday May 4, 2020, Sloat Garden Center reopened its doors to its Sunset community. Associates sanitized the handle of each cart as customers were let in and limited the number of people inside the center to 20, which caused at least a 30-minute delay. Customers had to wait in line to be welcomed inside and were only permitted in if they had a face covering. There were signs throughout the nursery to remind people to practice social distance. Once customers were ready to check out, they had to form a line keeping themselves six-feet-apart and were told to stand behind a plastic glass divider at checkout.

Emily Curiel

Emily lives life through a viewfinder. She has a hummingbird superstition and spends most of her down time playing the mobile app game called Two Dots, she’s sort of obsessed. She eats a lot of hamburgers and pets a lot of animals when she can. She’s a sucker for museums, sports, chocolate and anything artsy that’s hands on.

Her career goal, to put it simple, as the great Warren Buffett said, is to find a job that she loves so she doesn’t have to work a day in her life. She wants to be a great photojournalist, who is well-paid, so she may be able to live comfortably with good health insurance. Emily wants to be able to enlighten society in a more positive way through her photographs and storytelling. Dorothea Lange once said, “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” This is what Emily wants to embody and hopes she can do so in the field of journalism. You can find more of her work here.
