Series III. "New York During the Covid-19 Lockdown", 2020-2021, inclusive

The series holds 61 black-and-white photographs taken by Alan Behr during the 2020-2021 Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. The images recall the health care workers, delivery persons, street buskers, subway riders, wait staff, museum guards, doormen, and others continuing to work in the city and on its streets, in their service industry jobs, in the midst of the pandemic. Children playing, joggers, people walking dogs, protesters, and others are captured in scenes that are often typical of New York street life, with the exception that wearing--or not wearing--a mask as a safeguard against contagion is a prominent detail within the larger image.
