Witness

Documenting NYC streets during the time of coronavirus.

I am a Brooklyn street photographer. Since March 20, 2020 when NYC became the epicenter of Covid 19, I continued to photograph my city. Avenues and streets that had been vibrant, crowded, and filled with that insane New York energy – they were now empty.

Desolate streets, vacant office buildings, closed stores. Silence. A deadly silence. Still I wander. I witness. And I look up. This is still the city I love.
