Notes During Class 10 (A lesson on Anne Frank)
This image is apart of a series of screenshots taken during lessons via Microsoft Teams.Teaching my third graders from afar has become a challenge and a blessing at the same time. None of us knew of Mr. Microsoft Teams until we were forced to meet him. The way he impacts our lives is sometimes frustrating and other times satisfying. Unlike classroom noise, the chat that goes on during lessons are now mixed in with the lesson and available for all to participate- including the teacher! It's silent and said with caution and other times daring. (I've blurred the faces and redacted the names to protect the students' privacy.) -

Waiting to Return 2
When the school closed, it was unlike any other closing. Teachers left up the bulletin boards and projects were still hanging from the ceilings. Do we take down the maps and put away our figurines on our desk to keep from dust? When will we return? It's only March. The school year isn't over yet. A month later, the classrooms are still wondering. The teachers are still hoping. The students are still asking.The wishers are still wishing. The prayers are still praying. -

Grandma's Cookies (from a safe distance)
My grandmother still makes sure to give us the cookies she makes when we visit, but from a safe distance. We put them in the "no man's land" on a table between us, and take from the table one at a time. Of course it's not the same, but it's the best she can do. -

Shea Stadium’s comeback delayed by Coronavirus, as J-Lo & A-Rod look to buy the Mets Read More: Shea Stadium’s comeback delayed by Coronavirus, as J-Lo & A-Rod look to buy the Mets
"Bushwick DIY venue Shea Stadium, which closed the doors of its 20 Meadow St location back in 2017, has been attempting to make a comeback since, and they were on the verge of making a major announcement about a new space this spring… when coronavirus struck. “An offer was accepted last month for a 10-year lease at a new location,” venue organizers write in a new update on their Kickstarter campaign. “This was in early March, and as we were about to go into contract NY declared a state of emergency, casting the foreseeable future into some serious doubt.” Read More: Shea Stadium’s comeback delayed by Coronavirus, as J-Lo & A-Rod look to buy the Mets" -

Flowers in the Trash Cans
One month after the US declared a national emergency, the virus is still spreading rapidly. New York, as a severe area in the United States, has the most diagnosed numbers. Even so, the New Yorkers did not give up hope for a moment. New York florist Lewis Miller, reproduces his iconic street floral, FlowerFlash, on the empty streets of New York in the epidemic, paying tribute to the frontline New York medical staff with the vitality of flowers. Lewis Miller used all kinds of flowers to show the vigorous vitality, just like the hope that New Yorkers never extinguish. -

Corona Virus Online Shopping Meme
This meme is based on the level of boredom everyone is experiencing during quarantine. It is a lighted hearted form of humor that emphasizes the useless purchases we are all making. -

Corona Virus Grocery Meme
This picture is a perfect depiction of the unnecessarily extreme measures some Americans are taking during grocery shopping, i.e. covering up abundantly, stocking up on toilet paper, etc. This humor is more targeted at making fun of the ignorance of some people. -

Corona Virus North Korea Meme
This image comedically explores how in North Korea there was a man who tested positive for Corona Virus and the leader of North Korea Ordered him to be shot and he was killed. This is a more detached form of humor because the post is American, but we truly only know what North Korea wants us to know about them. -

Corona Office Show Meme
This meme connects to a very funny scene in the show 'The Office'. This meme is poking fun at the executive order that mandates groups of 5 people as the maximum number of people that can be together. Making a joke out of this order might illustrate the lack of severity Americans are viewing the pandemic with. #VART3030 -

Corona Virus Clorox Meme
The meme is a can of Clorox as if it is drinkable soda. It is playing upon the recent conference President Trump had in which he said we could 'inject Clorox to prevent the virus'. This was so significant that Clorox came out with a statement addressing this, stating their product is not meant to be consumed or put in the human body at all. The type of humor present in this meme is very satirical. It brings to light the humorous and unfortunate reality of our ignorant President. -

Central Park
While the pandemic seems to have stopped time for mankind in many ways, the trees bloom on schedule and nature goes about its daily business. My colleague Joe Lawton at Fordham University has been taking walks through Midtown and Central Park during the quarantine and photographing what he sees. These are some of his images of the park. Shortly after the city went on lockdown, a field hospital was set up in Central Park’s East Meadow. But the rest of the park remains largely empty, save for the occasional quirky character or New Yorker in need of an escape from their apartment. -

Corona Virus Gucci Belt Meme
This is a meme that dissects how the United States is handling the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of those memes that is funny but hits really close to home because it makes the viewer realize a harsh reality. Of course, we have more resources and options than a third world country. However, the way our country is handling this situation is not optimal. -

Corona Virus Lack of Taste Meme
This meme plays upon the double meaning of the word 'taste'. This type of meme that makes fun of people's preferences in terms of food/products has become very popular. It has been used in reference to drinks, clothes, technology, food, and more. It is a very light hearted form of humor, and distracts from the severity of the pandemic. #FordhamUniversity #VART3030 -

Texts from New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell: Severe weather, volunteering, homicides
When I realized I was going to be quarantined in New Orleans for the foreseeable future, I signed up for texts from the mayor. These three, sent within hours of one another, suggested an evocative sketch of the landscape that is New Orleans, encapsulating both the threats we face and the ways we respond to them. The first text was about the morning's severe weather (often a threat in New Orleans), which disrupted Covid testing. The next was about how we can help those facing the threat of food insecurity. The last compared the death rate from Covid to the city's homicide rate (which tells you as much about violence in the city as it does about the pandemic). I was talking on the phone last night with a friend who said she's heard a lot more gunfire in her Bronx neighborhood than usual. She said she worried about an increase in violence as the pandemic widens existing inequities in our country and people become more desperate. -

world through a window
My cousin was beginning to have anxiety about going outside, as he thought he could catch Coronavirus merely by stepping foot outdoors. After my family figured this out we explained to him that he wasn’t going to catch it playing in the backyard, and were able to get him out of the house. -

Priest's Social-Distanced Blessing
A priest at my parents' local church in Chesterfield, MO waves at our car after an Easter Sunday drive-thru blessing. This will stand in my memory as one of the strangest religious experiences I've ever had, as well as a highlight of my quarantine. The photo makes me think about priests and other similar people who lead communities face-to-face and the distance they must be feeling, as well as the experience of the churchgoer. -

Easter Bunny at Drive-Thru Blessing
The local church near my parents' house in Chesterfield, MO (where I'm currently quarantined) had a drive-thru style blessing on Easter Sunday. After a priest stood a good 6 feet back and sprinkled holy water on our car, we were directed to exit past a costumed Easter Bunny who waved as the cars left. I snapped this photo from the back seat. To me, the photo is a symbol of hope and human optimism in the face of a crisis, however, at the time of taking it, it struck me as more sad and detached. Something about an Easter Bunny standing outside his car with the trunk open just struck a chord. -

Streets and Avenues / New York City (I)
After college, and a year of vagabonding through Central and South America, I moved to the city forty-two years ago. I was drawn to New York, like many, by the energy and complexity of the city itself, and more specifically, the rich and endless theater found on its streets. While the array of cultural offerings has been a source of nourishment and pleasure, it is the streetlife that keeps me as excited as my first weeks here. What I love about New York is not what I know about the city, but how much I don't know. You cannot exhaust it as a subject, and from the start, I have made the city my primary interest and subject as a photographer. I always go out with a camera and am often mistaken as a tourist because of it. I take that as a compliment, given few can match the exalted state of excitement and awareness that a tourist experiences on a visit. When the Coronavirus hit and the staggered shutdown of the city went from a talked about possibility to a reality, I found myself inside my apartment looking out at the street below. At first, I made short trips to get necessities, then later added walks through Central Park, and now through the streets of Manhattan. If you think of a photograph as a piece of theater, with a stage set, lighting, cast, and choreography, the new version of the streetlife of New York is an eerie and fascinating show. The set and lighting is much the same, but the cast and choreography have wildly changed. Wandering through Midtown is like walking through an amusement park in the off-season. You experience the present colored by what you know it to be in season.
