Black Lives Matter Mural

Black Lives Matter Mural

Steve ESPO Powel‘s (@steveespopowers ) great mural in Union Square in Manhattan (2020 above) was moved just around the corner (in 2021, see video) from it’s original location in front of the Daryl Roth Theater on Union Square West, to 15th street ; in my book I paired it with my photo of the Houston Street mural for George Floyd (art by @fumeroism), who was murdered by the police in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

Macys in 2020 and 2021

Macys in 2020 and 2021

I photographed Macy’s department store in Herald Square, Manhattan, for my book during the pandemic in June 2020 when their flagship store was boarded up in anticipation of large protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, and the filmed it again last week, in May 2021. What a difference a year makes, the famous annual Macys flower show is attracting lots of people, the store and the plaza outside were as busy as I hadn’t seen them since the beginning of the pandemic.

Keep Going Times Square !!

Keep Going Times Square !!

Then and now:
A recent visit to Times Square, with my promo postcard leading the way. The tourists are still missing although it is definitely getting busier than it was just a year ago, like in the photo from March 2020 (book page above). The Naked Cowboy, who used to work in Times Square every day with throngs of tourists surrounding him, was the first person I encountered on one of my first photo walks at the beginning of the pandemic. It was eerie to see him all alone, masked when nobody was masked yet, nobody there to listen to him. The pandemic became real to me at that moment.
