Every evening since the beginning of quarantine, I’ve been taking 4-5 mile walks around my Crown Heights neighborhood. As a video editor, I sit all day. Since I’m not walking up and down stairs to the subway everyday, I have to keep my body moving. In addition to my health, I’ve been wanting to get into street photography. So, I’ve been taking these walks as an opportunity to start shooting again. It’s been years since I’ve really been into photography. I’ve been thinking about buying the new Fujifilm X100V as an everyday street camera. However, before I buy, I’m going to sharpen my skills and eye with my current camera first. The Fuji will be a lot smaller and hopefully more fun to shoot with.
These shots are a tiny glimpse into what it feels like in the neighborhood during COVID. Enjoy!

In a city where there are so many thirsty land developers, I’m always in awe that this level of urban decay still exist in this city. It might as well be NYC 1981.
