It was a surreal experience documenting the empty streets of New York City during 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. I had previously fallen in love with the city's intense energy, speed, and constant state of chaos, all which was nonexistent at the time.

This photo was taken in an empty Times Square on a rainy day in July. Although desolate New York had benefits, the city is nothing without it's people. Moving on, I'll never take a frustrating, jam-packed Times Square for granted again.
