Today is Monday, May 25th.
There’s usually a small parade and ceremony at the local park to remember the fallen, but not this year. So here are a few photos from past years.

The sea was angry, my friend
After last week’s ocean storm I went down to Brant Rock in Marshfield to take some photos on Friday. I used a Leica SL2 for both images and a big zoom to get the surfer doing the frug.

Ghost town
I took a walk around Boston with my camera today. These photos were taken between 1 PM and 4 PM on an unseasonably warm Friday afternoon. Usually the streets would be teeming with people on lunch break, shopping or just beginning their commute. But not today.
Fortunately people are are heeding instructions to practice social distancing. I made sure to keep my distance from the few people out and about. The experience reminded me of New Orleans after Katrina. It’s very eerie to see the city like this but I also thought it important to document what’s happening.
Masked and unmasked: People on the streets of New York in the time of coronavirus
On Friday the 13th, 2020, as New York began to close theaters and reduce many social activities, I took an afternoon and early evening walk around midtown and the Village, taking photos (w/Leica M10P, Voiglander 45mm, f1.2). I wanted to capture the mood of this particular time of coronavirus anxiety in the faces on the sidewalks. Although a lot of people were wearing masks, most seemed to be going about their normal lives. A lot of venues were closed and there were many less tourists than usual in Times Square. There was definitely a sense of anticipation of in the air. Of what exactly, none of us seemed to know.
