Just Another Summer

Summer in New York is notorious for its energy. If one has experienced it, then one understands how the streets truly come alive with its introduction. Typically, one would expect outdoor activities, beach days, parades, tourists, concerts and festivals, and crowded park space to name a few. But with extensive business closures and a mass resident exodus, many grew curious or casted doubt on how the Summer would appear like for remaining New Yorkers amidst a pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Just Another Summer” is an eye-witness account, visual documentation, and street photography series of New York’s awakening after months of a citywide lockdown. This series shines a light of hope through a dark time, thus ultimately refuting the opinion “New York is dead forever” and proves to disbelievers that New York is far more than just a place. New York is the living embodiment of the perseverance of the human spirit and united we can overcome anything.
