New York City 2020, none of us expected to be where we were at the time. The world shut down and everything was frozen in time. I downloaded Uber eats app registered as a driver and took my camera along for my delivery’s. At the time it was the only way to be on the streets without getting a ticket. ( police definitely pulled me over a few times to see if I was authorized to be outside ) While delivering food in Chinatown I noticed an older couple sitting on a bench, holding hands just looking into the sky at a beautiful apocalyptic sunset. No face mask, no emotions. Just a blank look into the unknown. I pulled the car over, ran across the street and positioned myself behind them. I framed my shot held my breath and as my finger pressed down on the shutter, magic happened before my eyes. With a single shot all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. A flock of birds entered my frame and a mysterious hooded person added that extra feeling of emotion I needed. At that moment I knew I’ve just captured my favorite photo ever taken. During these times, people made sacrifices. They made changes and they relied on one another to prevail. It was as if they were ready for the end. It’s times like these when we need each other the most. - Till death “DO US APART”
