When Atlanta-based Local 600 Unit Still Photographer Eli Joshua Adé was made aware of Georgia’s “stay at home” notice, he was just finishing the pilot of HBO’s futuristic dramatic series, DMZ. With safety being paramount, Adé sequestered himself in his farmhouse in nearby Hampton, where he has been able to spend quality time with his children, Eiland and Indie, and check things off his long-neglected to-do list. When the world started to open back up, Adé says he got back to “a bit of socializing – safely.” That included the COVID-19-friendly re-opening of his coffee shop, All Gøod, for family and friends, in Fayetteville, Georgia, not far from Pinewood Studios Atlanta. In his coffee shop, Adé has posted a caution upon entering – “Masks Requested.”

The lockdown has allowed time for my kids and I to enjoy each other’s company, uninterrupted. Eiland was so cute enjoying a roasted marshmallow, well done just how he likes it.
Another DIY project – close to my heart. I replaced the wiring harness, fuel pump, distributor, spark plugs and, with the help of my IATSE Local 479 Grip-brother, Jackson Parker, the bed floor of my ‘63 Chevy Stepside.
As restrictions eased, we were able to open up the coffee shop. Thanks to the hand drawing by Tiffany Adé, we encouraged our customers to mask up upon entry.
I’ve even had time to teach myself how to make hibachi-styled fried rise, which was a huge hit with my kids.
I call this: “Stills Wearing Masks” ¬– a safe visit from Local 600 photographers (L to R) Boris Martin, Eliza Morse, Erika Doss, Daniel McFadden, Bob Mahoney, Frank Masi, Eli Adé, Mark Hill.
