Exploring aspects of the human condition.

City spaces and places normally filled with people. Now void of the energy that humanity typically fills them with. Over time, the lockdown and restrictions on travel were overwhelming. People just had to get out. These are the visual stories that the Pandemic Effects had on New York City from March 2020 through 2021. Photographs are shown in chronological order.
