Earlier this week I took my camera and met up with my girlfriend at riverside park in New York. She bought a new polaroid camera and was excited to use it. We ate pizza at the park and it was surprisingly empty. We took lots of pictures of each other until this photo stood out to me because I loved the fact that her camera, sweater and bag all matched with each other. Another is that I get to keep these types of pictures and later in the future, look back at them and remember these times.

"WEAR YOUR MASK" says the newest graffiti on the cement wall under an overpass by the trail I walked on yesterday morning. It makes me so sad to see that message and realize that once again it is relevant to our lives. If everyone eligible and medically able to would have just gotten the shot in the past few months, our country wouldn't be in this mess: of overcrowded hospitals and people once again dying of Covid. We all want to put the pandemic behind us and get back to normal: re-start the economy, have children learn in person in school, and socialize without fear. So, why, why, why, when we have the means to do this -- do so many people refuse to follow medically sound advice? My frustration knows no bounds.
